The truth behind the truth!

What is truth? Maybe the truth about truth is there is no Truth, just perception or consciousness. Just as we can't taste sound or hear yellow or smell hard, truth is just perceptual and subjective to the mode of perception. Yellow is true to the eyes because they can see it, yet not true for the ears because they can't hear it. And yet both are valid perceptual avenues.

 Reality is the illusion Thought/Perception/Consciousness is what's real. In this world there are two kinds of truths: real truth and notions that you have convinced yourself are truth. However as I have always observed, truth is a very subjective phenomenon. Subject to your personal viewpoint or point of reference, which is determined by your perception or paradigm  So debating about what is true and what is not, is like trying to discredit knowledge with knowledge (e.g. science and religion). The truth is that there is no absolute truth (well not in human perspective) because our perceptions are always evolving from one idea to the next with no consideration of whether or not the idea is “false” or “true”. In order to understand this intangible truth of the non absolution of truth in our environment, we must learn to question our limiting assumptions about things, and evolve them with the new found understanding.

As Barry Siskind mentioned in his book Bumblebees Cant Fly, "If we do not challenge the myths that we encounter, we will reinforce them. That’s how myths get incorporated into the fabric of your daily life." The mind does n’t distinguish between a lie and truth... They are all the same stuff - ideas. “Tell a lie often enough and it becomes the truth.” another example of truth not being absolute but dependent upon the perception of the observer is in the justice system. In court, evidence is produced in order to justify or defend the accused. Both lawyers observe the same evidence yet due to their own intentions, they see it differently from each other. Thus believing something just because someone or many are convinced it is "true" is never a good reason to believe it. for truth is not absolute (its really important to really get this idea in our heads.)

Abraham (from Abraham-Hicks) have said “A belief is only a thought you keep thinking”... And once you begin to understand that and start to see the real truth behind this statement, then you can begin to understand why some things appear true for you and seems to be only fantasy for others. And also as to why it is that, people find it easy to go along with what most believe. It is not because it’s true that they believe it, it is because they believe it (keep thinking it) that it is true. 

Therefore as one goes through their day to day experience, pay attention to how you label things as true and allow yourself to really ask whether is it true or just your own made up thought about it. Truth is a subjective reality. Objective (ultimate) reality takes into account that all that is perceived and given attention to are true. That is the absolute truth..

Business 101: Becoming an Investor.

What is one of the key disciplines that any successful corporation practises? INVESTING. Every business relies on investing for success, and for the incredibly successful businesses they invest like crazy; in R&D, and product lines. Heck, even our own economy relies on investors in order to grow. So why not be an investor. Probably the first and almost immediate objection to this suggestion is "I don't have money to invest." And I for one, am completely in agreements with that. However, why not invest the one resource that you always have at your disposal - TIME . That's right. Invest your time. Ah, suddenly it seems so obvious now doesn't it, but would you like to guess on how many people actually overlook this important fact? (By the way, this is can well be a lecture on time management). And since all investment have the dominant factor of Time in them, why not begin by turning your focus on this one incredible resource and use it to your personal investmen

Generation eXcellence

I was reading some wonderful notes from Robin Sharma's Little Black Book of Stunning Success ( http://www.robinsharma.com/leadership-best ) and a thought crossed my mind: have we settled for mediocrity in our society?  Have we  allowed ourselves to tolerate mediocrity in our lives, because the truth is we interact with the aspects of the world which match our own standards. We see the world not as it is but as we are . How often do we offer less than our best to the quality of relationships with ourselves and things.? Are we allowing the quality of our lives be compromised due to what everybody else is doing? This is even evident  to how we  treat nature. The care with which we have for our natural environment is something of grave concern, and many defend this mediocre behaviour with "everybody else is doing it." and the worst one yet, "We are creating jobs for others"  Have we accepted mediocrity to be the order of our generation's existence?

“The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”

“Be the change you want to see in the world.” ~ Gandhi.  How often have you had the thought of changing the world? If you are anything like me, I have it more often than I have a glass of warm milk with cookies (okay that’s wacky...anyway). Or maybe it is something more like,” how can one act make a difference?” but all to often for many people another thought creeps in, “Who am I? I am just a small drop in the ocean.” (see the picture on the left) Or, “It takes a really special, gifted, and powerful person to even think of changing the world. And “ I am neither special nor gifted, let alone powerful.” If you think you are too small to make a difference, try going to sleep with the mosquito in the room" ~ Dalai Lama Like me, you’ve probably have looked at legendary people who are making it and thought, “what is it that they have that I don’t or lack.” And the answer is – they have the conviction that they can make a difference; that they are an immense and integral part
