MAKING UP TRUTH

[Pravin Kumar]

Making Up Truth:

The value of using the body as an anchor for present moment living is it doesn't make anything up, only the mind does so when the body is used to be present, truth arises; this is beautiful in its simplicity...

Your made up truth isn't necessarily true, it's true in the sense that it's your version of truth, but the content of your made up interpretations of truth are not truth. This is because you are the creator of your truth and it’s believed wholeheartedly, but it’s only your interpretation. This is what directs your energy and how your life is lived. The thing to also investigate is how much you make up. There's the parents truth, the childhood one, the teen and young adult truth. There's the boy meets girl truth, the get married truth. The work truth, family truth, and on and on. There are so many truths and only one you, so which truth is true? If you say all of them you should be able to sense why it's so difficult to see the true version of what’s true instead of one that’s made up. There's the truth in there somewhere, but it probably hasn’t been discovered yet. When the real truth is discovered all the made up ones fall away.

So how would a person know what truth is? My experience has been truth is known when there isn't a need to create it. Truth always arises, it's never created, it’s basically what's in the present moment. This is the value of using the body as an anchor for present moment living. The body doesn't make anything up, only the mind does, so when the body is used to be present, truth arises; this is beautiful in its simplicity. Grasp this and making up truth will cease to exist because the need to create it won't arise and without a made up version of truth there's no interpretation of what is actually true...
