Topic: Pursuit of the truth within

"People who absolutely want to know their truth can do it. And I do think that these individuals will change the world. They will not be "heroes", they might be quite modest people but there is no doubt that their emotional honesty will once be able to break down the wall of ignorance, denial and violence."

The pursuit of truth is very powerful; even more powerful than knowledge itself. Tacit truths are found in small places by people willing to serve the greater good.  The dynamics of change will come from the bottom and the middle; whereas, the upper elite are blinded by their own self-importance. Creativity and imagination, when governed by the basic philosophic principles (goodness, beauty, truth)  has greater power to inspire the human spirit. This spirit lives within all, and is manifest through the courage and determination to seek self and to face the unknown realms outside of secured view.

We live in exciting and dynamic times. These are the moments when introspection and the pursuit of deeper truths is most valuable. Before we can  move forward we must bring our own personal past with us; not as a legacy, but as a standard of thinking, and emotional expression. The passion created by wholeness will motivate the transformation.  The future will be in the hearts of the re-birthed children of god (the universe). 

Knowledge of self is power.

I love that quote from Alice Miller.  Emotional honesty.... if one can achieve that, it is a really important breakthrough.

I did not know who she is.  Here is her site, if anybody else is interested:

Back to emotional honesty, one important step in that direction, imo, I learned from Montalk.  The Art of Hyperdimensional War, I think it is, speaks of the importance of acknowledging the truth in any criticism.  That advice has been immensely helpful to me.  I think of it often.

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great and would suffice.  ~Robert Frost

Emotional honesty: is it okay to express anger? Is this honesty healthy?

Montalk on "Emotional management" wrote:

Focusing on the facts is essential in preventing the matrix from cleaving apart a potentially positive relationship. As explained earlier, two people who refuse to be open and trusting to each other end perceptually isolating themselves. Each person can thereby be manipulated by the twisting of his or her speculations into falsely disliking the other and ending the relationship. Were they to discuss any issues that might crop up, they would discover that their speculations were false. And if they turned out to be true, then the relationship was never really positive to begin with and should be ended. But one cannot be sure of which case it may be unless there is mutual trust an openness to discover the truth of the situation.

Truth itself is untouchable by the matrix and its operators which revel in illusion and lies. As long as one remains impeccably within the domain of truth, which means no lying to oneself or others except in situations that demand one’s survival, those attacking such an impeccable person often end up hanging themselves.

i think that emotional honesty is the keystone of changing ones life. Without being truly honest with yourself, you cannot hope to change. Very nice thread big_smile

Unfortunately, many people are trapped by their own delusions--pointing outward rather than pursuing the truth within.  I would imagine these delusions are artifacts of not living true to oneself. In this world it is easy to understand why people suffer at their own hands, struggling to climb to the top, or grasping for something other than the Higher Self to hang on to.

Conflict of values is an uncomfortable road. Have compassion for those who live lives of quiet desparation.

Re: Pursuit of the truth within

Well, the trick in attaining true happiness is learning how to incorporate your inner truth with what YOU DO! Writing is one of the greatest mediums for sharing your truth with others, yet nothing compares with a dynamic, face-to-face conversation with other like minded people. Sure, you could quit your job, but the repercussions could land you in a much unhappier place.
In my opinion, the ultimate creative form these days is movie-making. I'm currently in the process of writing a screenplay, drawing a storyboard, etc. that will hopefully blow the socks off anyone who watches it. You'll probably never hear about it, but that's not the point. Fame and fortune are the additionals to a creative and honest life. Come what may, I'm ready for it.
Okay, this may be turning into a rant, but if these "Earth-shatterring changes" are going to occur, the sooner the better! Lets get this whole thing over with, so we can move along once again without these ominous dates looming over our heads.."2012"...It's going to be a damn fine party, don't worry about it!
Hell, people aren't even sure on that date. There's an individual in my area that says it will occur within the next three years, because time is growing shorter. I had a dream last night, and I asked a "psychic" (I think every "person" in your dream is psychic, try it out) entity when these changes will occur, and she said "a month to a half and a half"!!!
A month to a year and a half!? My question was pretty vague "When are these changes going to occur?", so I don't know if this will be on a macro (mass) or micro (personal) level, but it doesn't really matter. What affects the small affects the large and vice versa, blah blah blah.
Ok, what were we talking about? Oh, emotional honesty.
Let your emotions flow freely, for this is the time to lose your inhibitions, for those who live their life on their sleeve have nothing to hide, and nothing to lose. People who jump up to dance when a good song comes on, applause when they want to applause, and those who aren't afraid to share their feelings are those who are truly free. Many of us, for fear of redicule, have shied away from losing their fears. We are told throughout our lives that fear is good, fear keep us alive, it keep me away from big bad animals...UGH, yet nothing is truly worth fearing. Orion Empire? NWO? The worst they have is psychic warfare, and though it ain't pretty, it can be overcome by envoking "It" (whatever God/angel/ascended master/Galactic Brotherhood you feel comfortable with) to protect you, and if you're into crystals, get some black obsidian. That stuff is powerful. Anyways, back onto fear.
It is fear that necessitates further fear..Just think of your inhibitions.
You won't dance because your fearful that this will show to others you have lost your fear, and once you have shown others you have lost your fear, you will be a wolf among sheep. This fear of standing out is the supersceding fear of all fears. But remember, what the hell could a sheep do to a wolf? Sure, there's the potential you'll be murdered, but who the hell is going to murder a dancing wolf?
I know this has been said before (as has everything else!) but remember to BE YOUR (HIGHER)SELF! Nothing is more precious than your Higher-self, and too often, people lose sight of this. This is the time for grey entities (no, not the aliens...I'm talking about those who aren't entirely "of the Light", who may have some issues/lifetimes to work out before they decide their polarity) to decide what side of the fence they're going to sit on, because things are going to be ALOT smoother for oneself if you are of good character, full of good intentions, and throw good parties.
And is anger okay to express? You bet it is, but misdirected anger is never okay. It's understandable, why after a crappy day you'd just like to unwind by yelling at your dog, but it's not  justified. Yet anger on its own, without compassion and wisdom, will never allow one to make clear-headed decisions. That anger must be transformed, not by running away from it, but confronting it head-on.
Ask yourself "Why am I angry?". "Well, because my boss wants me to work 6-days a week now." "Well, did she make that decision?" "No, it was probably her boss that wanted this" "Well, did she make that decision?" "So what are you saying, no one is responsible!?" "No, we are all responsible..." "Enough of this crap! The stupid customers are behind this! ITS THE SYSTEM!!! AAAAHHHH....", etc.
You get the point. But thinking about it, this anger thing is a tough issue I'll admit. Don't let it guide your actions, yet be aware of why you're angry, and try to adress the root-cause of it. Maybe finding another job is the better thing to do, but try to work something out that'll bring peace and balance to your life and to the lives of others.
