A commitment to truth

Requires the ability to sit in discomfort. 

To be wrong.

To see our bias.

To watch vigilantly our mindset, and challenge it the moment we know it has closed.

A commitment to truth means we remain endlessly curious. Even when we long to be right. 

It means asking more questions, from more sources. Getting the whole picture. Refusing to be boxed into one perspective. Challenging the status quo. 

Asking even better questions.

Being in awe.

Confronting things we do not want to confront. 

Excavating long-held beliefs that have formed the frame of our lives and identity.

To seek truth is an act of moral courage. 

Most of the time, we want to stay in our safe little moat of ignorance, for the truth demands we change, and change is terrifying. Often, we bunker down on half-truths or convenient mistruths. Our entire livelihoods and identity will collapse if we do not.

The truth will set us free of all the artifice and structures of deception, but first, we must go through the fires of Hades. 

If we live a good life, we will make this journey more than once. If at all possible, walk it with a companion or guide, someone who has walked the path before you. 

Then, daily, work to unpick a mind that wants to relax into the field of safe deception. It is the field of rot and entropy, an artificial warm bath that contaminates a spirit seeking the lightness of being that lives in radical truth.
