Truth is a tough subject. Although, it’s only a tough subject when you’re caught in the illusion that truth is relative. In reality – REAL reality – truth is not subjective. The concept of “my truth” and “your truth” is misleading. Experience is relative; truth is absolute. Calling experience “truth” doesn’t make it truth any more than calling a beat-up Ford a “Rolls Royce” makes it a Rolls Royce…

Obviously, the car in the above image is not a 2018 Rolls Royce. The example is quite ridiculous. Nobody in their right mind would believe for a moment that car is a 2018 Rolls Royce. And that’s the point. For those who have realized actual Truth, personal truth is as obviously false as calling the above car a Rolls Royce.

It sounds good to say truth is relative and personal. When truth is personal and relative, we can all live in our own worlds where we get to hold tight to false beliefs and nobody can pry our illusions away from us – because when there is no absolute truth, we all get to be right. Even when we’re wrong. And nobody can pop our bubble of illusion with actual Truth because, well, that’s just their truth.

We want to hang onto all of our illusions and still complete the journey to liberation. There’s just one problem: the journey to liberation is the process of discarding illusion. The illusions discarded along the journey include personal truths. All of them. Sometimes one-by-one, rarely all at once, but eventually all personal “truths” must be discarded.
