Truth...

 Truth 

It seems that most of my life has reflected the expression of something underlying, a peculiar trait, that has caused a great deal of confusion and calamity.

Confusion, because I have been slow to identify this distinction; thinking that how I perceived the world was the common understanding.  Calamitous due to the disconnect experienced when alternative viewpoints clashed.

I’m sure I’m not alone, there are likely many forms that also have this experience, and it is a gift, although a bittersweet one.

As I mature, clarity comes more easily, but the consequences less tasteful.  

Truth is a characteristic we associate with words and the spoken language, but not often enough to the outward energetic expressions of the eyes and body.  One knows when deception is involved, even when the words spoken or written express a different sentiment.  The dissonance created when the words and the bodily expressions differ is disturbing.  Which message being broadcast is the true expression of intention?

Intuition is energetic, words express the adaptation of the minds perspective.  One is an innate gift that we all have access to, the other a product of conditioning.

The expression of truth, and the vehicle used to express it, is determined by one’s attachment to the world, or the lack of.  Both are relatively true, but the energetic expressions reveal the deepest understandings related to ones intent.

It is difficult at times to trust your intuitive sense when also experiencing contradictory expressions of language.  Words have such power and influence.  And acting intuitively strains the heart, as your mind vehemently contests your authenticity.

It is a more difficult path, as everything relating to the world of illusion will stand against you in defiance, but to live authentically becomes necessary as you ripen beyond your conditioning; and the struggles that ensue are the richest gift, the foundation for deeper meditation and understanding.
