Losing the Illusion

-Quotation Wednesday

Losing an illusion makes you wiser than finding a truth.
~Ludwig Börne

The truth is what is; it is the constant in life. The illusion is everything else. Discovering truth is not the difficulty, the difficulty is losing the illusion. By releasing the illusion, you naturally find truth. This is why ultimately there is nothing to search for, because the truth is already present; we have only clouded it with our false perceptions. When we bring our perceptions into a place where they align with truth (what really is, now), the rest of our life takes care of its self; naturally with ease and beauty.

What are our illusions? Whenever we perceive life from a place other than “now.” When we view others or ourselves based on the past, when we observe life from yesterday or tomorrow. An illusion is nothing more than false perception, kind of like a veil over your eyes that keeps you from seeing life how it truly is, or a cloud in front of the sun not letting the full light through; this cloud or veil is what creates suffering, blame, fear, etc, etc, etc. So as you slowly lose or release this false perception, you begin to see life in a much different light, consequently a whole new world is opened up to you. One that consists of more peace, beauty, and love. And it’s not in a sense of being disconnected from life, on the contrary, you will notice a deeper connection with yourself, others, and the world around you.

Did you find genuine value within this post? If you did, then most likely you know someone else who will as well. I invite you to share the goodness!
