Guest guest Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 Spinning the TruthMay 9, 2011From the ‘Lie House’ in Washington, DC to the Wall St Casino, and into your home, spins and omissions of the truth are epidemic. There’s a lot of disorder everywhere in the ‘order of truth’. No need to ‘desire’ the truth, but just to go into the object of concern and see. Freedom is insight, and it has nothing to do with ‘right or wrong’, but to see what really is. Truth liberates the mind. Lies either are absorbed as truth or the mind is left ‘twisting in the wind’ when all that is needed is insight or clarity. Confusion of choice denies the liberation of the mind that suffers while sitting, and not actively using one’s insight to see.Buddha’s last words to his disciples was to not lament and weep over his leaving, but to be ‘ a light unto yourself’. See into every emotion, and state whether it be grief or love, look deep for insight. Insight brings light unto where it shines. Darkness brings fear and frustration. In choice confusion happens. In choicelessness, freedom from insight has happened, and there is no need to have to dwell over confusion of choice. Through insight, the obvious comes, eliminating the need of ‘choice’ as it disappears. The message of Zen, is to look into things. You cannot choose ‘choicelessness’. The ‘state’ comes through insight, and all knowing. When you love someone with all your heart, there is no choice to love one day, and not the next. You have entered into a state of choicelessness. Freedom from all doubts becomes a ‘choiceless state of being’. When you have arrived at knowing, there is no need to go into a frame of mind of ‘not knowing’ and questioning. You don’t ask the question, ‘should I love this person or not’ - it’s a choiceless choice - you just live your life without questioning the love.Seek truth with your whole being - go totally into it as a way of life. Avoid ‘splitting’ into half and half. Melt into seeing the truth beyond the cover-ups or omissions. What others feel may not be what you feel - go into the truth totally. The problems in life are created by not melting in with insight that communicates what really is the truth. Blind acceptance is a choice that leads one astray on the path to truth. ‘Feel’ what is the truth deep within. The outer world is one with a mixture of truths and lies, choose the path of insight to the truth within you, and that out in the world. The more you see truth within you, the more likely to see truth on the outside. rhataArhataOsho.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
