Truth and Lies

I visited with my aunt today.  We talked about some family stories.  I told my husband about it later.  My aunt told me that some things in my family were slightly different than what my mother had told me.  The stories aren’t really important.  What I told my husband was.  I told him that I didn’t know what the truth was and what were lies, but it didn’t matter.  The people we were talking about had passed away.  I didn’t care about it.  Whatever the truth was didn’t change how I felt about my family.

As I said those words, I saw inside my head the idea that God transcends the dualities.  God takes us to the point where the truth and lies become one.  I never thought that I would see an example of the transcendence of dualities like this in my lifetime, but it happened, and it made sense.  The truth and the lies don’t matter to me in this case.  It doesn’t matter which one is true, I am still going to feel the same way about the people involved.  I don’t see them any different.

I think that gave me a glimpse into another insight.  If what a person says or does doesn’t change how I see them or how I love them, then that explains a little how God loves us unconditionally. When you look at the world from a distance and transcend the dualities, there is no more room for judgement, there’s only room for love.

My faith saved me.  May God’s peace reside in all of our hearts.
