Stop and Tell the Truth

Many of us live our lives very superficially. We suffer for that
superficiality, because within each one of us lives a depth of being
that wants itself known, wants itself felt, wants itself expressed
and met.

As long as we settle for the superficial truths, we tragically miss
the deeper revelation.

We experience a huge collective suffering on this planet, yet at any
point we have the full capacity to stop and tell the truth -- what is
here? Sadness may be here, anger may be here, but what else is here?


What is deeper than that? At any point we have the opportunity to
direct our attention away from the future or the past, and toward
this moment so that we can truly self-inquire into what is final,
what is always present.
