Truth Is Not An Escape

What is there to say?

There are things I could tell a human being that have the power to change their life, yes.

But in telling someone these things, will they penetrate?

Unless a problem has reached a certain level of acuteness in one’s life, there will not be a sufficient motivation for them to examine it.

Where there is insufficient motivation, there will be no depth of understanding.

It is for this very reason that truth reveals itself in pieces.

The truths one is ready for are the truths they are able to receive.

All else will bounce off the walls of their intellect.

There is no menu to order from.

There is no list to run through.

There is only your life, and the problems you are facing now.

It is this that will reveal to you the truths you have yet to understand, and it is the discovery of these truths that will transform your life.

All else is avoidance.

All else is escapism.

People claim to want the truth, but they leave to look for it in far off places, and ignore that which looks them directly in the eyes as they awake each morning.

People ask, “What is it that I should do?”

This is yet another form of escape.

By looking for something to do, they shift their gaze away from the problem, and in doing so they guarantee that it will persist.

Problems that are understood cease to be problems.

Falsehoods that are understood cease to be believable.

If there is a secret, it lies in the genuine disinterest in any form of escape.
