Don't You Ever Forget

You are not seeking the truth unless you are willing to see all of it, the bad and the good, and make the two one.

You have to be willing to accept your own mortality, look at your fears unashamed, and notice that your mind hides these fears under the guise of pleasure. 

Spiritual seekers say things like "all is one" and "we are all equal". This is true, but it is deceiving because you cannot just stop at what makes you happy. 

You have to dig deep down and really be honest with yourself. See how all of your ideas are just something you hold onto because you do not want to come face to face with truth. 

The Truth is something that you can only understand when you are in touch with that frightened self in you, the one that stands in shivering awe of the universe. 

And then when you are finally in touch with that child in you, you can see how your mind works to block the truth because you are afraid. 

When the truth is blocked you are not in touch with life, it is your own delusion you are in touch with. 

Truth before life, don't you ever forget.
