“Everything we know is subject to revision, especially what we know about the truth.”
––––=––––
Many of us thought we could recognize “The Truth.” We believed the truth was one thing, certain and unchanging, which we could grasp easily and without question. The real truth, however, was that we often couldn’t see the truth if it hit us square in the face. Our insistence colored everything in our lives, especially our perception of the truth—in fact, what we “knew” about the truth could have killed us.
The truth has changed. In order to open the door for that change, we have had to surrender our attachment to an unchanging and rigid truth.
The truth becomes purer and simpler each time we encounter it. And our understanding of the truth may change each day as we grow.
