It appears that you can not say anything of clear and open intelligence in this society without someone contacting you and asking you to shut up.
And if you do not shut up, they come back and "order" you to shut up. And if you still do not shut up, they come back and "shut" you up. |
Yes, there are many who have found this peculiarity upon our lovely planet a verifiable fact. "Truth" is subjective and others, less hostile, will still loudly complain "you can't know everyone's truth!" Then why do we bother to speak about anything as true or not true at all?
I have found it is something just shy of vicious meddling and more deliberate than "interfering", to insist on individual diversity and then in the next breath add "and we all hold these truths to be true!" Immediately after this confident declaration are listed wise and wonderful coined phrases such as "we are all one", and "the truth is within you", etc. You know the memes . . . These commonly agreed upon "truths" have proven to be the most far reaching and mentally influencing lies that I have ever wrestled in this lifetime. We are NOT "all one". We are all "individuals". For Heaven's sake, pay attention! No two individuals have the same exact consciousness, nor does everyone have the same religion, politic, culture, origin, perspective, resolve, filters, preferences etc . . .

In our current era, there is no more popular wise saying than "The Truth is Within You". And all religions use this meme.
The "truth" is not within you, "YOU" are within you. And there can be nothing neither true nor false about the you that is you! The "truth" is outside you. . . Oh my! What a shock to hear someone say such a opposite from the coined and vastly campaigned saying that the "truth" is inside you. Without an "outside" there can be no question of truth or non-truth. There is no "truth" inside you, there is only instinct and intuition about all that is outside you. For some, there is a psychic perspective of premonition, clairvoyance, etc. Even these, are filtered through culture, religion, point of perception, education, influences and ego. How much absolute "truth" can be left after such a raking? |
"Go within, and know." Know what? That the earth is round or flat? That the sun is white or yellow? That climate change is real or false? That God is in everything you see and touch or that God is ultimately unknowable? That ethereal realms are real or fable? That the world is coming to an end? If the Universe is expanding? That the "Simulation Hypothesis" is correct? That there are aliens? If someone is lying to you or telling the truth?

You have to go OUTSIDE yourself to find these answers.
All truth about everything around you is out "there", not inside "you"!
All truth about everything around you is out "there", not inside "you"!
If it is merely your "truth" of where you came from, how you got here and where you are going, where was the lie to begin with? If this is the big deal, the so called all encompassing word called "truth" or "knowing" and that is ALL anyone is ever talking about with those globally pushed fancy sayings, then OK, your personal "I.D." should be there.
And for the rest, the intuitional, instinctual, psychic filtered individual skills? I have been wrong before when relying on a gut feeling, how about you? The "truth" about reality, the very one you are immersed in, the exact one you are sitting in is "out there" in, of and about that precise reality! And if we were "all one", wouldn't we ALL already know that? |
"Nobody is Perfect." Really!? Who designed THAT one? You were already perfect, the perfect "you". Is this to mean that no one can conduct their daily lives in a perfect error proof manner? They dropped a soup spoon on the floor at lunch, so now they are not "perfect"? Heaven help us all!
Can you see that a deliberate approach to the nature of the reality in which you live is actually "chosen", designed and force fed to you on a societal level? Who chose this "truth" on an "imperfect you in a perfect world" instead of a "perfect you in an imperfect world"? God himself, could not hold the perfect spoon over his or her holy bowl with this continuous chaotic, screaming, topsy-turvey, yank-you-here/yank-you-there, a thousand-changes-rule, instant saint or sudden sinner, metamorphing, swerving reality paradigm slippage world spinning around his (or her) head either! Dropping your spoon, misplacing your keys, forgetting an appointment is not an imperfection of you, it is the imperfection of the reality you navigate. Your "Mind" knew and intended your clear thought and your surround-sound warbled reality befuddled the way of that clear thought and hijacked it. Whoa! What a clear and centered way to see the, dare I say it, "truth". One in which the "guilt" of the imperfection is not yours. You never had a sliver of a chance at being perfectly performed in this world, where everything breaks or rots, changes or lags, ages and tires, forgets and pretends, gets lost or stolen, is too expensive or takes too much time. Think about it. |
"Good things come to those who wait." What exactly is this one!? Ah ha ha . . .
Surely this only applies for those waiting for apples to ripen. And who, that is not yet still a young child does not know this? Good things do NOT come to those who wait. No one is here to dedicate their entire lives to serving ever precious "you" all good things whilst you prudently sit and wait. Good things come to those who get of their lazy duffs and go out and get them! You may say, "Ah, but you are turning a phrase, that is all, there IS wisdom in those sayings." To that I respond, "I have struggled with this fluttering river of constant seemlingly wise sayings, interfering with my own rational mind, since I were a very young woman, and now, in my ageing years, I still find no sensible use for them. These so-called "wise" sayings are either so broad spectrumed that they can not apply to anything tangible or useful, or they are so narrowed and pinched in their pertinent meanings that you have to wait until just that exact moment and circumstance to come along to apply them at all. I have repeatedly assessed most of these widely popular memes to be muddling, meddling and highly insulting to my personal clarity of thinking. |
Who are these wise scholars? And why don't they be a little more clear on their scholarly news? Isn't that their job? To clarify wisdom? To "explain" reality? Obviously these are "self-proclaimed" experts. Did you vote for them? I don't recall that vote taking place in my current era. "Popular" is the unofficial vote, I suppose, with no debate.
I am very selective about the memes I will entertain. Most are simply time wasters. I would rather hold a conversation with a seven year old child, who has not yet lost touch with the truth outside of her, and has never learned to question the "you" inside of him. The truths I have found, outside of me, are global truths and hold fast when we say "these things we hold to be true", for everyone. For everyone. |
So why does someone come and tell me to shut up? They did not come to anyone who is looking for a truth inside of themselves. It seems these “wise” ones are left alone.
What is the "truth" of YOUR reality? Take some time and look around. My bet is that if you look outside with open eyes, a little bit of steady focus and some open interpretation, it will be the same truth as mine, no matter how "different" we really are. But if you try to tell about it . . . that reality is not inside you but blatant and boldly in your face all around you, shouting confusion here and discord there . . . and that you DO know "you" already . . . and that you probably already ARE perfect, someone will come and tell you to shut up. . . Someone who notices that you are not the same as all the rest who are "all one", anymore. . . . this is where the qualified Zen Master quietly answers your question of what we should do about it all, with this simple statement, "Nothing." "Just know." So, how is that wisdom? Now you know that the world is not your fault . . . |
Unless, of course you are a jack-ass and enjoy adding to the vulgar, criminal, spin doctoring narrative that pulls everything askew and everyone here around by the nose.
But jack-asses usually don't read lofty material like this, right? They don't care about anything but another beer and fries and another night of bellowing fowl gutterals at the bloody boxing match on the tube, right? |
(Incidentally, are you really "one" with these people? These shining pillars of Humanity? Really?)
Jack-asses have no need to go around and watchdog the societal narrative that holds everyone to deep-psyche guilt and unequivocal responsibility for their utter imperfections and the increasingly awful conditions of their gluttonous, consuming, greedy, warring, caustic world, right?
Because it's the "truth", like it or not, right? Then who are these people telling people like me to shut up? |
