Is this stuff useful?

There is nothing more useful and practical than truth. Living a life surrounded by illusions and misconceptions clouds every issue and makes everything more complicated and confusing.

Of course, as I've already mentioned in other posts, there is no Truth in this world; only truth. Truth (capitalized) is absolute, non-dualistic Fact, while truth (non-capitalized) is the relative truth that we're used to in our human experience.

However, even a half-hearted commitment to relative truth will help. Even just committing to truth as you understand it will help.

Make TRUTH your top priority, your number one goal, your most-cherished prize. Just TRY it. In all situations, circumstances, just TRY getting to the truth of the matter. Don't get lost in social conventions, family expectations, religious dogma, or tradition.

Just try to find the truth. ASK yourself: "Is this true?" It's not perfect. It's messy. It won't garner you lots of approval and warm fuzzy feelings.

But as you gradually align your life to truth, you will catch glimpses of the Peace and Joy that I'm writing about in this blog. And as you see more and more of the Real, human life becomes easier and easier.

What can be more useful than that?
