Truth…?
Truth is free from patterns. Truth is free from everything as we know it to be the truth, of which is only from our conditioned mind to begin with.
Truth is flexible, adaptable, pliable, full of movement, twists and turns, it’s alive, free flowing, immeasurable, everlasting, sustainable only within our own minds and never external from it; truth is freeing, truth never conforms, set standards or engage man in any rigid rules and laws of society and the even the world at large because, after all, as Krishnamurti puts it, “We are the world. Whatever we are, the world is”.
I ask myself all the time now “what is my truth?” If it is nor to be found or sought, then what? If my truth already exists within me, if the truth is already inherently who I am, then who am I? If I am somebody beyond my ego, the conditioned life, my past experiences, my very own thoughts and beliefs…”if” I am somebody beyond all of that, then…who am I? How do I explore this question if the very act of questioning can lead me to answer through my ego, my conditioned mind? How else would I be able to answer this question? Is it possible to even answer such a question at all?
I find myself perplexed, confused, a tad bit frustrated and, at times, doubtful. It’s one thing to embark on a journey to self discovery and higher consciousness, but it’s a whole different story to sustain this motivation, to keep my mind fluid and free from conditioned thinking patterns and habitual perceptions. The truth is within me, I am the truth…so what is my truth? As I have reiterated the question above, who am I? If I am separate from my ego, from my past experiences, what does that leave me, as a person?

My dearest Jyu….
I always enjoy your posts, as they are so thought provoking!
You mention ego quite a bit in the last couple of posts, so I am begging to ask this question….: in order to truly discover oneself, and a higher consciousness…are you saying all ego must be swept aside? We need to be prepared to fail, and be ok with that? I am confused. Can you elaborate please? Doll
Janny, the topics I post about are really confusing, even for me lol. Yes, I believe that one would have to completely detach from one’s ego in order to reach a higher level of consciousness because ego is a derivative of our “conditioned” mind. Our egos is what prevents us from flourishing to our best capacity/potential because the ego’s purpose is all about trying to keep things safe, no matter if this is a good thing or a bad thing. Ego is what tells us to not take chances or to be overzealous when we fail or attempt to not fail. To answer your question in short,we don’t have to actually prepare ourselves to fail or to achieve…if we are past our egos, the concept of failing and not failing doesn’t matter, what matters is just accepting “what is” without interpretation and judgements and be okay with “what is”…lol…sounds weird. I think I’m going to do a post based on your question Janny…
