Speaking one’s mind is one thing. Speaking truthfully is altogether a different thing. The mind cannot know what is greater and grander than itself; it is from there that speaking truthfully originates. Speaking truthfully is not about content; it is not about POVs and beliefs and positions and arguments and justifications and rationalizations and finger-pointing and fear-mongering and saber-rattling. That is mind. Speaking truthfully originates in awareness itself, in silence, in that which observes the mind from a distance greater than what can be measured. And yet, that which observes the mind is closer than one’s breath, one’s flesh and bones, one’s synapses, even one’s soul. As far from the mind as this awareness is, at the same time it is closer to us than can be measured. This might seem paradoxical. It is, and it isn’t.
This is because Existence, or reality, is layered: dimension upon dimension upon dimension. Speaking truthfully comes from awareness, from silence — and these are so far from the mind that the distance cannot be measured. And yet, awareness and silence are closer to us than can be measured. In the same way, the distance between what mind can understand and perceive and what awareness and silence can understand and perceive cannot be measured. Speaking truthfully is the drumbeat that keeps time for Existence.
Speaking truthfully is the primordial intelligence, the mastermind of creation, expressing itself.
