New Freedom

When you can love Truth more than you love yourself, then you are free.

The Origin of all Things (19th Century Philosopher)

In that deep force, the last fact, behind which analysis cannot go, all things find their common origin.

The Higher Road (journal entry)

The higher road is often not the higher road at all. In fact, the moment that I think that I am taking the higher road, I am making a judgment that I am the better person and I have made no progress at all.

I need to remember that “being good” happens much higher than that, above the petty world of comparison.

Light at the End of the Tunnel (frm Meeting 11/26)

There is no light at the end of the tunnel. The light is here right now.

The only thing blocking it is you and your ideas about it.

A Lower Plane (journal enry)

Whenever I find myself balking at life, citing my rights and demanding fairness, I know I have been dragged down to a lower plane of being. The only reason to become incensed by anything is that I think I deserve more than I have. That also indicates that I have given false value to what ever it is that I want more of.

While above all of that I can see that I have been given everything I would ever need to achieve True Happiness. How ridiculous it would be to demand more of that.

Wanting to Know the Truth (journal entry)

Wanting to know the Truth is a prerequisite to searching for it. It is not something I can first seek out and later decide whether or not I will live it. In that frame of mind, I cannot even see it.

Knowing the Truth (journal entry)

Knowing the truth is always a good thing; it is never a bad thing. It only appears bad to me when it compares unfavorably to my personal preference, which is only an image or illusion.

I can do nothing with an illusion, because it is not real and doesn’t actually exist. With the truth however I can do anything, because it is real and lasting.
