Quotes About Truth

Our lives follow the stories we tell ourselves.

So the catch is that you are programmed to choose the ego over Essence until a time comes in your evolution for the realization of the truth to surface.

It's only when we are identified with the mind ("I think it, therefore it's true") that differences become a problem, because then we believe what comes next: the mind's assertion of what needs to be done about that problem.

So why would you believe such thoughts? The only reason you do is that you were programmed to believe what seem to be "your" thoughts. But they are not your thoughts. Believing that they are is the foundational lie that makes the illusory reality possible.

Much of what keeps the ego's lies in place now is the fear of being different from the crowd, of stepping beyond convention and going against how most people think. Once there is less of a stigma around questioning your programming, because more people are not drinking the ego's Kool-Aid, people will awaken to the truth—to reality—much more easily.

Problems seem to exist, but problems are actually illusory and part of everyone's illusory reality. "Problem" is a concept, not a reality. The mind turns something into a problem by telling you it is a problem. In reality, problems do not exist. You cannot touch, see, hear, smell, or taste a problem or sense it in more subtle ways, because there is nothing there to sense. A problem is imagined.

You are not who your beliefs tell you that you are, and reality is not what your beliefs tell you that it is. Beliefs stand in the way of experiencing your true self and experiencing reality. Beliefs are all that stand in the way, but that is enough to make this human life a challenge.

The way to living without judgments is simply to see the truth about them: They don't serve us or others. The ego leads us to believe they are important, relevant, and useful, and they just aren't. Once we see this, we are free to not indulge in them. They may arise in the mind out of habit, but eventually, if we don't give them our attention, this habit of thinking and talking about others will subside.

Nothing is ever lost in choosing love. Your judgments never worked anyway. They only created anger, hurt, and separation. When you see the truth of this, it becomes much easier to choose love over judgment.

Beliefs can't change reality, even though they change one's experience of it. To be helpful, beliefs have to reflect reality accurately. The ego tries to change reality with its faulty beliefs—its shoulds and coulds—while the hero doesn't bother with beliefs that aren't true. He knows that only the ones that stand up to experience and match reality work and are useful.

Beliefs are more often than not self-fulfilling prophecies. That is why becoming aware of your beliefs is so important. A self-fulfilling prophecy is a belief that is not true but becomes true merely because it is believed.

As long as the book is read, people would die for it. She had been wrong to wait, wrong to think a safer time and place to stand for the truth would find her. Truth made the world unsafe. Truth spurred evil into action . There would be no end to evil, not in this world, not while the book was still open.

look into her eyes is to see

When I came to my senses, I realized that we cry for ourselves because we are ignorant of what is true. We are ignorant of the goodness of God. Too often we are prone to believe the Hell that is preached in the Bible, when we should believe the love the Father has for each of his children.

Time is the father of truth, its mother is our mind.

Burchio. Even if this be true I do not wish to believe it, for this Infinite can neither be understood by my head nor brooked by my stomach. Although, to tell the truth, I could yet hope that Philotheo were right, so that if by ill luck I were to fall from this world I should always find myself on firm ground.

Deixarei de lado a questão sobre o que é uma tolice: a ilusão, ou sua cura. Um pirronista uma vez disse, Quem poderá nos dizer se nosso estado não é o de morte, e dos alegados mortos, o de vida?
