The Truth Was State, And What It Feels?

Decent Essays

Whenever someone finds out that I have realised the truth, the first question that I invariably get asked is, “What’s it like to be in the truth realised state, and how does it feel?” While this appears to be a simple question it is more difficult to answer than you might think!

At the end of this chapter, and throughout this book, I will attempt to give you a sense of what the truth realised state is, and what it feels like. But before I can do that, we need to look at why it’s so difficult to directly explain this state with words and dualistic language alone.

We are taught, from our earliest days, to think in a linear step A, followed by step B, followed by step C fashion. And because of this early training our minds have …show more content…

Then as the early humans progressed, they developed a series of grunts and gestures to communicate with each other. And over time formal languages evolved. But the languages that evolved are not present back at the point of the Source. The Source is the base, the beginning, the creative starting point of all existence. Languages and communication only came into existence further down the road. So trying to put a state without words, into words, becomes a mind boggling task! The best that can be done are analogies and paradoxical statements that hopefully give an impression of what it’s like.

The analogy of the electrical power plant might help to make this point clearer. Electricity is created at a power station, and travels via power lines to your home. If you plug a radio into a power outlet in your house then you will be able to hear music playing. But back at the power station the music can’t be heard, even though the source that generates the music is present.

Another problem with trying to explain the truth realised state, is that the mind must be engaged in order to describe something. This is necessary because it is the separating mind that allows us to see the world as a collection of separate objects. And without that separation a description becomes impossible.

In the truth realised state there is no separation, everything is one. So if I engage my mind and create separation, then I am essentially splitting up the state of
