SUMMARY:
In an era marked by information overload, the duality of Truth and Lies have become confusing. In the past, truth and lie were clearer concepts, but the globalization of information and the emergence of the internet have created informational chaos. The human mind has found in the ability to lie a form of creativity that has given rise to art, culture, and beauty. However, the imposition of absolute truths on others has contributed to collective falsehood. Truth and lies are perceptions, not absolutes. The key is to educate oneself to digest information and be coherent in the perception of the inner and outer worlds. Integrating imagination and truth allows the individual to manifest their creative power in reality.
QUOTE:
“Truths are never absolute; they are perceptions. The more they try to impose their truths on others, the more they are contributing to collective falsehood.”
EXERCISES:
- Observation of Thoughts Meditation:
- Find a quiet place and sit comfortably.
- Close your eyes and focus on your breath. Feel how the air enters and leaves your body.
- As thoughts arise in your mind, observe them as if they were clouds passing through the sky. Do not cling to them or judge them as true or false.
- This exercise will help you practice detached observation of your thoughts, allowing you to question and discern the truth in everyday situations.
- Reflection on Perspectives Meditation:
-
- Choose a topic or situation in your life that concerns you or on which you have different perspectives.
- Sit in silence and consider the various opinions and viewpoints related to that topic.
- Practice empathy by trying to understand the reasons behind these perspectives, even if they differ from your own.
- This will help you appreciate the relativity of truth and be more open to different viewpoints.
