Some random thoughts on truth and being true…
I no longer put much stock in "the truth". That phrase predisposes us to notions of an objective reality (one that exists without imagination ;), one that is permanent, unchanging, eternal. Truth is a fiction established as fact through reason.
On the other hand, i put all my faith in what is true, as in "what is true to your heart?" You know what is true in your gut. We can be true to ourselves and others without ever apprehending the truth.
The interesting thing about what is true is that our gut, heart and soul often seem to sense it differently, so being true to our heart sometimes rings false in our gut. Sometimes the path our soul lays before us appears to lead our heart astray. I’ve been wondering about divergences of true feelings lately. It occurs to me that such are the times we yearn most for the truth, like there’s some grand unifying theory of what is true.
Sometimes a part of us feels true, but what feels true is a yearning, a craving, something that cannot be fulfilled, which is what creates our inner conflicts. What we need to listen for is the true behind the true. Often we have so cleverly disguised this with our yearnings that it is the barest of whispers we need to listen for. Identifying with the yearning, its pain, is familiar to us, and we’re drawn to it. It’s value to us, however, can only be realised if we use our yearning as a guide to the essence underlying it, and from which we’ve strayed.
Sometimes we believe we are letting go of something, or someone when, in fact, we are letting go of something about ourselves that we no longer need. It’s when we cling to that part of ourselves, a part of us that seems true, but is not, that letting go becomes difficult.

THE PATH OF EMERGENCY
If we continue walking on the crumbling road of duality, we will experience a continual state of emergency. If we are still working at a job we hate, it may well disappear. If we’re still holding onto a partner who is not our One True Love, the partnership has a good chance of splitting apart. If we are still filling our lives with activities that have expired or are superficial, they will be cut away from us. If we still believe in lack and scarcity, we will experience more of it. If we hold onto the belief that hardship is a natural part of life, life will be hard. If we are still hiding from our True Selves by building walls of resistance, all our hiding places will be stripped away. If we cling onto our old security nets, they will disappear from under our feet. If we are still basing our actions upon fear, then our fears will be so greatly magnified that we will either break down or breakthrough. This is the Path of Emergency.
THE PATH OF EMERGENCE
If this road doesn’t sound very appealing, we all have the choice of walking a totally new road, the Path of Emergence. Here, we put all our efforts into emerging as True Core Beings. We continually remove each old pattern, each glitch that arises, all past residue, from our Personal Matrix. We constantly hone our beings so that we only speak our truth, so that we only express our true feelings. We let go of any activities, friendships and partnerships that are no longer real and true. We stop working at jobs that drain away our lifeforce and create new jobs where we can fully express our creativity and serve our true purpose. We find our hidden bank accounts and know that we will always be taken care of. We expand our stance and stand as the true King of Kings or Queen of Queens that we really are. We become Warriors of Love and spread LOVE everywhere we walk!
2009 is the Year of the Emergence of the True Ones. It is time for us to step in, step forward, join together as One, awaken the vast potential of the sleeping giant of our One Being and finally do what we came here to do. The more we do this, the easier everything will become. The miracles will manifest, the Green Lights will not only remain on, they will become increasingly brighter, illuminating our clear pathway into the New and True.

by Kazantzakis from Zorba the Greek
I remember one morning when I discovered a cocoon in the back of a tree just as a butterfly was making a hole in its case and preparing to come out. I waited awhile, but it was too long appearing and I was impatient. I bent over it and breathed on it to warm it. I warmed it as quickly as I could and the miracle began to happen before my eyes, faster than life. The case opened; the butterfly started slowly crawling out, and I shall never forget my horror when I saw how its wings were folded back and crumpled; the wretched butterfly tried with its whole trembling body to unfold them. Bending over it, I tried to help it with my breath, in vain.
It needed to be hatched out patiently and the unfolding of the wings should be a gradual process in the sun. Now it was too late. My breath had forced the butterfly to appear all crumpled, before its time. It struggled desperately and, a few seconds later, died in the palm of my hand.
That little body is, I do believe, the greatest weight I have on my conscience. For I realize today that it is a mortal sin to violate the great laws of nature. We should not hurry, we should not be impatient, but we should confidently obey the external rhythm.
