As people, we have a very complicated relationship with the truth. Very few of us actually want the
truth regardless of what we might say and very few of us see the actual value of truth.
Now the fact that the idea of truth or reality in general is a hotly debated topic within philosophy
circles to begin with, just adds fuel to the fire, but it's still important to understand
why it is that we don't want the truth, don't value the truth and therefore, resist the truth.
Let's begin by looking at the resistance that we as people have to the truth. People who resist the
truth really only resist negative truths. Truths that make us feel bad. Now when I say negative,
that is a judgment. One could say that any truth, even the ones we think are negative are actually
positive truth, however for the sake of your understanding it's important to understand
that people don't resist things that they feel are positive truths. They only resist things they feel
are negative truths. The reason people resist negative truths is that they feel as if those
negative truths always lead to something bad or unwanted. Usually this is a negative consequence
that we feel like we can't deal with, can't face or do anything to change. In general, people who are
brave enough to see the truth (what is) are usually people who believe that they can do something
about the truth (what is) and because those of us who don't value the truth experience higher
degrees of powerlessness, we feel powerless to do anything to prevent or resolve those bad things.
Therefore, we tend to experience truth as leading to only bad things, never solutions.
Of course, those consequences that we might imagine will come as a result of the truth may or may not
actually exist. Nonetheless, the more powerless you feel, the less okay with painful truth
you will be. For example, let's say that we experienced in our childhood our father being
honest, telling the truth about the fact that he wasn't romantically in love with our mother
anymore and as a result, he left the family, and as a result, not only did we suffer because of
that truth, so did everyone else in the family. And we could do absolutely nothing about it.
See? Truth lead to negative consequences. That's the association that we make.
Or maybe in our childhood we experienced ourselves being honest about or demonstrating the fact
that we were jealous of our sister and as a result all that happened is we were shamed and our family
lost respect for us and it created an adversarial relationship with our sister. All of which could
have been avoided by not telling the truth. Many of us simply don't understand why you would ever
tell a truth or stand by a truth or become aware of a truth if it leads to a negative
consequence. Same goes for actions. Many people don't understand why you would ever take an action
if it led to a negative consequence. In alignment with this, many of us just do not understand
how any truth, even negative truths, could lead to something positive. This is not an experience
that our life points to. In fact, all the proof we have in our life points to the exact opposite.
That truth, especially negative truth, just leads us towards some negative experience. Those of us
who are resistant to the truth often come from backgrounds where the truth was used against us
in some negative way. Now this has nothing to do with truth in and of itself, it actually has to do
with just being in unhealthy environments, but let me give you an example of what I mean. If the truth
is you loved a certain toy, then your parents may have used that truth against you in that, that was
the toy they took away when you were not complying to something they wanted you to comply to, or let's
say we were honest with our teacher that we just forgot to do our homework instead of telling
her a story that the dog ate it we experienced ourselves being flunked and labeled as a bad kid
okay so obviously if we are truthful if we tell the truth that we stand by the truth
it leads to some sort of negative consequence
bottom line we do not want other people to use the truth against us so we won't align
with truth to begin with often those of us who are resistant to the truth also have a very hard time
discerning what is real and what is true confusion is common amongst us if we are honest in childhood
we could never really tell what the reality was or we were sold the idea that something was 100 true
only to find out later after years of believing it that it wasn't this causes us to distrust and
even doubt the idea of truth as well as doubt our own ability to perceive it much less anyone else's
now i must say if you were somebody who grew up in a particularly religious household only to
become disillusioned in that religion later and to realize that all those things you were sold in
childhood aren't accurate you have a complicated relationship with truth whether you see it or not
something that is really important to know and i can guarantee you you have never heard this from
anyone else is that if you are somebody who has a complicated relationship with truth meaning you
don't really like it you have a little bit of resistance to it you actually value stability
more than other people i mean a lot more so much so that you invite the shadow side of stability
into the room we tend to be averse to complexity and want simplicity and we experience negative
truths as being destabilizing and destructive therefore as an oppositional force to success
the reality is of course exactly the opposite when some truth enters the picture in any situation and
that truth destabilizes or destroys something then whatever it destabilized or destroyed was
not actually real in the first place it was an illusion but the problem is that illusions they
feel very real illusions give this false sense of stability to people which some people are
willing to commit to for example a woman might have a husband who is cheating on her for her
whole marriage but the illusion that she has a good marriage still makes her feel stable and
like she has a foundation to build her life on as opposed to seeing the truth that he is cheating
and as a result feeling her entire life is destabilized and her marriage is destroyed
often those who are resistant to the truth do not value truth or what is real over other things
things like stability things like feeling good things like control and our reality is flipped our
wires are crossed we see truth is an oppositional force to these things when in reality truth is our
only way of actually achieving these things this means we are conditional with truth what i mean
by we are conditional with truth is that we only want truth if it leads to us feeling more control
we only want truth if it leads to us feeling better emotionally we only want truth if it leads
to higher self-esteem you see we're conditional about when we will take truth and when we won't
take truth and this inevitably leads us down this path where we justify our conditional attitude
towards truth with ideologies that actually support illusion you ready for a huge truth bomb
spirituality for many people is just one giant coping mechanism that's an adaptation we make
that enables us to deal with the difficult environmental stress that we feel like we
can't change or eliminate most of the spiritual tools you've learned are in fact nothing more
than coping mechanisms and even ones that could be much more than that can still be used as
coping mechanisms to understand more about this i want you to watch three of my videos the first is
spirituality the great coping mechanism the second is are you into spirituality for comfort or
awareness and the third is novocaine spirituality the reality is that the gurus and the spiritual
teachers that we tend to revere and idolize the very most are often the people who are able to
cope with the world the best and that's what many people strive to be able to do to
cope with the world but i want you to beware because he who copes with the world the best
is often the one who does the very least to change it in other words instead of teaching people how
to change the world for the better we teach people how to better cope with it the way it is
the spiritual field is absolutely littered right now with people teachers even that will tell you
only truths that feel good it's also littered with people teachers as well who will tell you that
truth or reality is in fact an illusion that there is no truth that there is no objective reality
therefore you have to create your own reality based off of what you want reality to be
very different than conscious creation the spiritual field
is also littered with people teachers even that tell you that the only thing that matters
worse than that the way to know whether something is real or not is if it feels good and those
people who are resistant to truth to begin with take those ideologies and distort them and resist
what is and then use those ideologies to justify their conditional relationship with truth they
use them to justify entering into a narcissistic bubble reality built for one a place where we can
control literally everything and therefore make everything stable and make everything feel good
something important to understand especially about a consensus reality which is the one that you
live in right now is that truth involves multiple perspectives truth involves other people illusion
only requires and involves one using our previous example the truth involves not only the reality
of a wife who is dedicated to a good marriage but also the reality of a husband who is also
dedicated to a good marriage illusion involves only the woman who is dedicated to a good marriage
she can mentally decide to look at only what she wants to see and thus create a
false reality where her marriage is a great one and if she's completely committed to that
perspective nothing the husband does or does not do can burst that false reality construct for her
it will feel real to her she has total control over it no matter what he does or doesn't do
the fact that truth involves other people makes those of us who are absolutely terrified of truth
even more terrified because we know we can't control other people
but i cannot stress to you how dangerous slipping into a narcissistic bubble reality of truth
is how much damage it does to yourself and to other people what the karmic implications are
also this is essentially the definition of mental illness those of us who are resistant to truth
also have found out that by essentially committing to something other than truth
we can avoid shame we tend to deliberately not take things personally and deliberately
reframe things so it's not about us so that we can preserve our perfect self-concept the
way that we preserve our self-concept is by believing that any truth we hear is about
other people now it's at this point i have to call a few people out so many people who are
truth-resistant in the first place they watch my videos and they find them so inherently validating
because everything that i'm saying and all these shadows that i'm calling out of subconscious
they make about other people in their life so instead of watching this video and being like my
god where am i resistant to truth where am i maybe in a narcissistic bubble of illusion they're going
my god i totally know tiffany my friend is like crazy not committed to truth when people watch my
videos and all they think is that i'm telling them negative truths about other people in their lives
is that they love me they love me because they're using my information to fortify the walls of their
narcissistic bubble but just wait wait for the day that something that i say is personal
wait for the day that i directly call out a negative truth about them specifically that's
the day that i start to contradict that complete illusion of that absolute stable self-concept
and image that they've built about themselves in their life suddenly overnight they hate me
suddenly overnight teal swan isn't somebody who's helping the world she's destructive
those of us who are resistant to the truth have forgotten what we have forgotten is what it is to
be in the presence of somebody who is in their own narcissistic bubble reality and therefore
unable to attune to us and feel us to the degree that they make some responsive change to our pain
we've forgotten the pain of not being able to appeal to them or influence them in any way even
when our well-being depended on it we've forgotten the pain of not being accommodated by them
the pain of the helplessness powerlessness and isolation of being at their mercy ironically we
have never experienced this reality as a consensus reality even though it is one have you ever heard
this expression hurt people hurt people it goes in alignment with this concept that if somebody
was abused by somebody they essentially have a choice to either not be like that or to gain a
sense of safety and power by becoming exactly like their perpetrator this is essentially what happens
is that a person who abandons this concept of truth and doesn't really want it doesn't like it
has forgotten that in the beginning they experienced this extreme pain of being around
somebody who was in a narcissistic bubble reality meaning they weren't in a space of truth they were
simply in their own illusion we had a choice to make when we were put in that position where
we were up against somebody in a narcissistic illusion construct and that was to go into our own
so essentially our desire to abandon truth and to go into a narcissistic bubble reality of illusion
was a way of trying to adapt to a problem by of course becoming part of the problem
we're unaware that we became the very person who hurt us it's a subconscious because you
can't beat him the only way to feel good is to join a mentality when we are resistant to
the truth or resistant to seeing reality and more committed to whatever feels good to see
we only ever accept the truth when it seems like the pain of not accepting the truth is higher and
this i cannot stress to you enough is a recipe for absolute disaster and a recipe for an escalation
of the law of mirroring this is not just a recipe for disaster for us but also for the whole world
ironically it means that the stability and simplicity we love is a pipe dream
it's a pipe dream because escalation is inevitable if we won't accept a negative truth and so we do
nothing about it we will end up in a crisis when this crisis hits for us we will either
realize a truth so far too late to avoid consequences that we will suffer or no matter what
consequence we face we will reframe it for example let's imagine that a negative truth is that human
beings are on the way to making the surface of the earth uninhabitable for themselves and millions of
other species do you know how bad it has to get for a person to swallow that truth they were only
willing and able to see the truth when the pain or consequences of not saying the truth are higher
than the pain and consequences of doing so the answer is far beyond the point of no return we
will either suffer when this happens or positively reframe all the consequences when they happen so
that we don't really feel the true impact of them this issue of needing the pain and the consequence
of not seeing the truth to all of a sudden be so much higher than the pain of seeing it
it puts us in a situation where we never deal with truth to the negative when it's very very small
when it's manageable instead all of these things have to become unmanageable tsunamis
first and this reinforces the belief that truth is a destructive and destabilizing force
a bit of a vicious cycle don't you think those of us who are resistant to the truth we want
there to be no consequences for the truth that's our honest truth the problem is is that we live
in a universe that is managed by the law of cause and effect
there is absolutely nothing in this universe that does not have a consequence both positive
and negative so you can't prevent the effect of a cause this means the most inalignment thing that
you can do as a conscious creator is to choose your consequences consciously if you don't choose
them they will simply happen to you if you want to learn more about this watch my video titled why
you should consciously choose consequences those of us who are resistant to the truth often have
a pretty good idea of what consequences or pain the truth leads to but those of us who are
resistant to the truth have a very difficult time seeing how the opposite how illusion
actually leads us to pain and consequences in fact even more so we have our time with truth because
we want something different than what is we want to create something new and different from what is
this isn't a problem this is actually a beautiful thing the problem is when we're in denial of what
is and when we are in resistance to what is we need to question if feeling good no matter
whether feeling good is completely out of reality completely out of alignment with truth and totally
an illusion is more important to us than being in reality and standing squarely in the truth and i
suggest to you that it's very important for you to know where you stand on that issue especially
going into the future life path potentials for humanity blue pill or red have a good week
