Truth and Illusion:
The Politics of Spirituality
and How One Person’s Lie Is Another One’s Truth
In our quest for truth, we need to cultivate inner wisdom, for how can we find truth without inner wisdom? And when we find truth, won’t it be wise? All human beings contribute a perspective on truth, and each of our lives embodies and conveys truths. In order to hear the truths that all of humanity can contribute to the greater truths of life, we need to cultivate inner wisdom. In order to develop our inner wisdom, we need to:
- Become self-aware
- Accept ourselves
- Heal our own inner emotional wounds
- Stop the guilt syndrome by no longer shaming and blaming ourselves and others
- Listen to our own deep thoughts, values, fears, and feelings with empathy and compassion
- Listen to the thoughts, values, fears, and feelings of others with empathy and compassion
- Create a safe space for ourselves emotionally
- Create a safe space for others emotionally by making no assumptions, no judgments, and no projections
- Overcome the split between “self” and “other” by understanding that we are all part of the universe, therefore we all contribute to a universal truth which encompasses all of us
- Develop non-attachment and practice acceptance
- Honor ourselves and every human being as an equally valuable person on this earth, simply because we breathe, think, feel, and exist. In honoring ourselves and others just for existing, we honor Life, of which we are all part.
If we can do all these things, we will be on our way to cultivating inner wisdom. One sign that we have found inner wisdom is that we will tend to feel a greater sense of peace and contentment in life. Feeling peaceful and contented conveys an inner wisdom that is open to discovering greater and greater truths, and indeed, has already found them!
