The statement "truth has a way of coming out" was posed to me today. My response was to question to what they were referring. What truth did they mean? Truth is so multi layered, multifaceted. Wrapped in context and emotion. Often my fast and constantly whirring mind has ripped away the first few layers and delved deep only to find the other person remains at their surface while I plunder the lesson. Hence, my question to what truth they referred. Where were they leading me??
As a child, life is composed of truth and un-truths. As you age it seems that the space between the two poles grows wider and wider. You realize the importance of where someone stands in life when it comes to their vision of truth. Truth is less about a moral judgement, and more a decision based on the place someone stood in the moment the 'truth' was labelled.
I think in my life most things that happen are direct results of energy I project out into the world (partly why i am careful to look for the positive and good, it is what I want back!) and what the universe is willing to give me. Synchronicity or coincidences that happen are like little tests handed out to all of us. Will you admit the deepest truth or just the upper layers of this moment? Sometimes like an onion, we know that peeling each layer back will make tears fall and we simply cannot do it on that day. And so we turn from acknowledging the truth that is in front of us inherent in the coincidence. I think those times I refuse to act, to acknowledge or take action... this is when I make opportunities pass me by. Are we only cheating ourselves? Or we also cheat others around us by living less than authentically? By not being true to myself and learning as it comes, I am taking a backseat in life. Not driving. But sometimes we are afraid of the tears that fall as the onion sheds its layers. Terrified of what will remain. Too unsure of our own deepest needs to accept the lesson in that coincident and moment.
Coincidences are not accidents but signals from the universe which can guide us toward our true destiny ~ Deepak Chopra
How ready I am to be let in on just what that destiny is. Time to slow down, be less busy and listen to the inner voice. Be true. Busy is preoccupation. Preoccupation is a diversion. Diversions keep us from finding that truth and destiny. Coincidences are perhaps like road signs, yet when we are preoccupied with the map it is impossible to see the signs making accurate travel impossible anyway. We go nowhere important without looking around.
