Truth is simple and open to all

Truth is simple and open to all. Why do you

complicate? Truth is loving and lovable. It

includes all, accepts all, purifies all. It is untruth

that is difficult and a source of trouble. It

always wants, expects, demands. Being false, it is

empty, always in search of confirmation and

reassurance. It is afraid of and avoids enquiry. It

identifies itself with any support, however weak

and momentary. Whatever it gets, it loses and asks

for more. Therefore put no faith in the conscious.

Nothing you can see, feel, or think is so. Even sin

and virtue, merit and demerit are not what they

appear. Usually the bad and the good are matter of

convention and custom and are shunned or welcomed,

according to how the words are used.
