The Inner Self & Truth

Direct Authentic Knowledge Through Intimate Imminent Experience

One can only know the truth in so far as they are able to know themselves. This requires inner knowledge and initiation upon the Way leading to the truth. This is a matter of turning inwards and the process of interiorising ones orientation towards truth of a deep inner nature. This connects one with their heart of hearts, and opens up the faculty of inner sight and intuitive knowing.

The open hearted see into the heart of matters, as though they see with the eyes of the heart.

To consider that the heart has eyes to see and the ears to hear the truth of matters that elude those who live their lives on literal translations of a false precept of the truth, is to know that the educated man has been swindled of his capability of knowing the truth first hand, with his own senses.

The number of years spent in institutional education is the measure of how institutionalised a person’s sense of truth has become. In a world where the mind has become institutionalised, the possibility of bearing witness to the truth with ones own senses has become remote.

The measure of respectability in the world of institutionalised men is their adoption of lifeless facts and figures, as their standard means of knowing. This is known as Empirical Truth and it is a depersonalised process of becoming acquainted with the appearance of truth, and rather not, the self-actualisation of truth. Such practices in the pursuit of truth, hardens the heart and desensitises the senses required to have a personal intimate relationship with the truth of life. Therein lies the possibility for the estrangement of humankind, and their alienation from their true selves.

The hard hearted and the herd minded rally to be respectable in order to become respected.

They have had their curated conventional opinions crafted by the collective and they have become inured by the stereotypical niceness of their ideologies.

The appearance of respectability whilst espousing approved social narratives is equated with status and intelligence.

And with superiority comes the benevolence of the vain and conceited, the hallmark accreditation to the lofty realms of elitism and philanthropy, to assuage what little conscience might remain or as artifice to conceal their need for the approval of others and the esteem of their lesser; all mere artifacts of their greed and power lust.

But barely under the surface of their superficial niceness lies the source of the naivety of their benevolent façade - a vicious and cruel mean streak born out of having to mortgage their souls, as a result of their Faustian deals with the devil, in order to find favour in this world.

For make no mistake, this world not only requires its pound of flesh and your blood, sweat and tears, but the very heart and soul of your being.

This breeds a competitive nastiness that one doesn’t need to look all that closely at, in the “dog eat dog” world, to see. It’s everywhere and evident in the human decay and depravity found on every street in every community.
