Before we set out conquering our 'fear of the truth', let's try and understand why an untruth is ever so appealing to the human race. An untruth is a fabrication we use to our convenience. We often believe what we want to believe and twist truth the way we want to. The problem lies with the fabrication itself and future consequences. Fabrication is delusional and our real problems begin when we find so much of comfort in the untruth that we try and replace the truth with the untruth. What initially started as a convenience, soon becomes an integral part of one's very existence.
The truth is the truth. It isn't situational, demanding or fearful. On the contrary, it's safe and pure. Most times, our fear of truth is unnecessary. Our fears stem from worry of what the world may or may not think of us, what the world may or may not believe. Why worry about people in the world, when everyone is struggling with accepting their own truth? We must concentrate on staying true to our God, true to the universe and to our spiritual selves... in effect staying true to everyone else. Our physical life is a journey, a discovery; a discovery of different facets of our spiritual selves. We may think we know ourself, but the more we think that, the more we become strangers.
We must remember, that none of us were meant to be perfect. God doesn't expect us to be perfect, why then should we expect perfection of ourselves and others? No, God has made us brilliantly well, with all our flaws and imperfections. He wants us to begin by accepting those imperfections, loving them and rectifying them. Yes, before we even consider conquering our fear and imperfections, we must accept them for what they truly are. They're there because something led them to be there. So accept; begin by acknowledging and accepting. He won't do it for us, no one else can do it for us, we need to do it ourselves.
And we can begin by making the biggest conquest of our lives - conquering the fear of the truth. It isn't the truth most of us are running away from, it's the fear. And, the easiest way to conquer that fear is by embracing it... yes embracing it. Close your eyes, breathe and introduce yourself to your fear. Wish it, hug it and tell it, that you accept it. Remember, fear is a just a small part of you, that always works against your spirit. So, once you wish it, put your arms around it and say, "Okay my friend, you may like me, but I don't particularly like you (see how easy the truth is). So, I want to you to work with me and cooperate. Please, take my leave and let me live life in truth. After all, God wills it, the universe wills it and my soul wills it. While you may have misguided me in believing that your were safe, I know the truth now and I am saying goodbye to you."
Open your eyes, take a deep, fresh breath of freedom - freedom from fear and freedom in the truth. The fear of the truth and untruths do not define any of us, our acceptance of the truth and our will to change for the better defines us.
The truth isn't easy, and honestly, it's not meant to be. However, the freedom and joy we experience in it, is something all our souls must feel. I know that this is easier said than done, however, small, baby steps towards the truth is the way to go. Always begin with small, slow steps. Always.
Look within, the truth is right there waiting for us to discover it, acknowledge it, accept it and love it. Yes, it's difficult, but it's okay. It's okay to falter. it's okay to fall... as long as we pick ourselves up and continue on. Don't worry about judgments and reactions; people who love you, will continue loving you irrespective of your truth. In fact, they will love you even more for accepting your truth. Because people who genuinely love you, will be happy that your soul is rediscovering itself. Besides, once we accept the truth, we accept the will of God and the will of the universe, we can hear the heartbeat of the universe and we will know, that we're on the right path.
The truth is: the journey is a long and arduous one, but with each stab of pain, comes soul-cleansing; with each bit of acceptance, comes spiritual freedom. Love yourself, like God loves you, accept yourself, like God has already accepted you; accept the truth for what it is and change yourself for the better.
There's no truth that's unforgivable; there's no fear that's unconquerable; begin by conquering the fear of the truth and you will find yourself... ever-so-slowly, just like it's meant to be.
Have a fabulously blessed day everyone. :)
