The Finish Line is for the Ego. The Journey is for the Soul

“We certainly learn more from the journey than from the destination. If we pay attention, we will realise how much we have changed since we started this truth-seeking journey. And that is, precisely, the whole point. Truth is found as we transform into a higher conciousness capable of assimilating and doing something about the truth we find.

It’s not so much that ‘the truth will set us free’, it’s that our capacity to see the truth has already freed us. In any case, the phrase should more accurately read: “Knowledge of truth will set us free.” Knowledge is the key to everything, but we need to want to seek it, and that is exactly what is dividing humanity right now.

There are those that can’t be bothered to search for truth, they catch a glimpse and turn their backs to it. And then there are those who have the courage to seek and face it, even if it sucks. Only the latter stand a chance of being free.

Knowledge is the first step. Understanding is the next. We must internally process knowledge, grasp the implications, digest them and apply them in our life. Contrary to what most people believe, wisdom is not the knowledge of truth, it’s the application of that truth. Wisdom is when our thoughts (driven by knowledge) and our emotions (driven by the processing of that knowledge) are reflected in our actions. In other words; wisdom is when our thoughts, emotions and actions are perfectly aligned. It not only requires knowledge and the capacity to process it, it requires courage to turn it into action. As we think so we feel, so we say, or do.

So to all who are sharing this journey of seeking the knowledge of truth, trying hard to process it and attempting to act accordingly, I salute you for having the intuition that brought you on this journey in the first place, for having the interest to seek, the humility to accept your own ignorance, the strength to cope with truth, the capacity to process it, the generosity to want to share it with others and ultimately, and the courage to do something about it.”

From one who sought the truth, and offered these words out of that sincere search.
