Seeing the Truth
If you wish to transform the self, seeing the truth more clearly
is crucial. Watch and you'll see that there is an immediate and
automatic reaching for the good and dropping of the evil when
you see things for what they are. You drop a hot rock without
arguing about it, step around a fire rather than into it, and
you do not walk off of cliffs very often - even when they are
near. Physical dangers are easier to see, so the response is
clear and immediate, without internal conflict in your mind.
On the other hand, most of us are not so quick to avoid the
dangers and destructive elements that lurk in our minds and souls.
Why? Because we do not see the truth so clearly here. Just as
you might walk off those cliffs in the fog, or let that rock
burn your flesh if you didn't know it was hot, you suffer the
damage of these interior threats because they are not seen and
felt clearly.
If you did see the truth about a damaging behavior, for example,
or a punishing thought, you would drop it easily and quickly.
Our job, then, is to come to see the truth about ourselves more
clearly.
In more than one story, for example, a man is blinded by his
greed as a boat sinks, and he fills his pockets with gold or
other heavy valuables. You can guess what happens as the boat
goes down and he has to jump into the water. To the reader, who
is an outside observer, it is clear what a self destructive thought
process and action this constitutes.
Remember this basic and common story. It presents a great
metaphor for how we listen to the voices inside us )greed speaks
in this case, but there are others), and we weigh ourselves down
dangerously as a result. How do you see the truth and avoid the
fate of the man in the story? be the observer of your own story,
and be an outsider that can see the the destructive intent of
those voices that advise you from within. Seeing the truth starts
with seeing how we are blinded to it by a false self, which is
a thought process that we mistake for our own self.

The
Meditation Program
This is one of the most cutting-edge brainwave tools currently
available. The eight levels included take you from the beginner
level (mid-Alpha) right through to super-advanced (mid-Delta).
If you get the MP3 downloads (CDs are available too) you
might want to skip the "Registration Backup Service,"
which covers you if you lose the files, and just put an extra
copy somewhere in your computer. But either way, this is one
of the best products I have used. - Steve
