So, with all of this, I am wondering if it is then the truth or just your own personal reality? We have been inundated with books, seminars, lectures, discussions, tv shows, etc, that tell us that we only have to "believe it" or "think it" to become a truth. My reality, or moreso common sense says that if we believe a lie to be true, it is still a lie, right?
I have told myself, envisioned, put headphones on as I slept, cut out pictures of the 'real me that I want to be, and even stood on my head, to make myself believe that I am slim and trim and healthy, and also, I admit, adundant! I think positive throughout the day and night. So I must be, right?
Wrong. Then, the critics would say, I am doing it wrong. Of course! Silly me! I am not applying the correct principles. There are more books and seminars and tv shows for this. Still I am not. There must be more books! Oh, and there are, hooray for society!
What the heck is going on? The person who is slim and trim and of course, abundant, is the person selling the book, or the seminar, and the advertisers who put the show on. Or rather the image that is created. There is a show called "Shark Tank" and another called "Dragon's Den." Consistently, one of the 'judges' comments that 'It's all about the money. I want money and lots of it!' This is certainly his truth. I watch Victoria's Secret during my commercial breaks and wonder why I, a mid-forty year old woman, don't look like that, 13-20 year old teen, in my brazier! And why doesn't she have wrinkles? That's a no brainer, but these are billion dollar industries created to create an illusion. Just for you and me! Isn't that wonderful! We are special!
Which brings me back to my original thought, if you accept something (anything) as the truth, does it then become your truth (even if that truth is a lie)? huh?
Is not the truth relative to perspective? Which leads me to beleive that the truth is a really lie, meaning that truth and lie are synonyms.
I beleive that we are bring forward into this world expectations and limitations from past experiences. (Which, I admit, does not make it truth, it mearly makes it my belief). All of our individual experiences and values that make up our childhood, is what creates our own individual truth. This is a NEVERENDING saga, a revolving, self-adjusting beleif system.
