Embracing the Sweet Truth
Manage episode 420430648 series 1414481
“The truth hurts!”... or so we’re often told. Many of us have no problem being truthful, even if the recipient gets hurt in the process.
After all, isn’t honesty the best policy?
On the other end of the spectrum, for those who have difficulty telling the harsh truth, a “white lie” can often be a compelling and justifiable alternative.
In this episode, Thom argues the case for something in between—the sweet truth—not only because it has a more unifying effect, but because the “truth” itself, isn’t as black and white as we like to think it to be.
Episode Highlights:
[00:59] The Idea of Sweet Truth
[02:55] Dressing Up Truth
[04:35] The Absolute Truth
[06:57] The Only Truth: Unified Field of Consciousness
[08:44] Trotaka's Story
[11:10] Temporal Nature of Truth
[13:15] Absolute Truth Without Cruel Truth
[15:41] Embrace Sweet Truth With Meditation
