Fear of the Truth

4 posts in this topic

I see that I kinda stop pursuing spirituality - Meditation, trips. 
As in my trips, I encountered some truths that weren't much to my liking.
I didn't find Nirvana at the end of the road, I encountered things that felt true but weren't too 
special - like oh right now I remember, everything is clear, there is nothing else to understand, let's go back to life and enjoy.
So you don't really feel motivated to face this truth as I experienced that there is nothing to really see.

Another thing is this fear that I have, I think from childhood I adopted this belief that no matter how much I wished for a "happy ending" like in the stories, I don't really believe they exist. Like deep down, I "know" that I won't find what I seek - peace, redemption, love. I see that in my life, as much as everytime a new hope and dream for something good - relationship, love, success in things, at the end it doesn't work out and I return back to zero. (of course that logically I do see that I progress but emotionally it always feels the same). So emotional It's hard for me to believe in a positive truth to find in spirituality.
what can I do? maybe self inquire about what is good? what is an end? what is the truth?

My advise would be, let it happen. If seeing the Truth makes you depressed, go through it. Eventually you'll come back and meditate/inquire later. For me, I have reached a point of no turning back. See if it's true for you. But why are you looking for a positive/negative truth? Maybe the Truth is much simpler that the idea of positive or negative doesn't even exist.

 

Remember the possibility that you might be deceiving yourself by emotions. ;)

Aren't those all thoughts?

I would inquire more into these feelings. They seem to be based around a belief that's causing you to suffer.

Do not fight fear with more fear. Love the fear.

All is well, you are doing great. Keep on.
