I am not a human being
trying to have a spiritual experience.
I am a spirit being
mastering the human experience.

Truth

...is important, but neither simple nor easy.

Love&Light,


"If you tell the truth you don't have to remember anything."
- Mark Twain

"...Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even to the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story..."
- Max Ehrmann

"If you shut the door to all errors, truth will be shut out."
- Rabindranath Tagore

"Whoever undertakes to set himself up as a judge of Truth and Knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the gods."
- Albert Einstein

"Truth stands, even if there be no public support. It is self sustained."
- Mahatma Gandhi

"Say not, 'I have found the truth,' but rather, 'I have found a truth.'"
- Khalil Gibran

"Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth."
- Marcus Aurelius

"Mistakes are, after all, the foundations of truth, and if a man does not know what a thing is, it is at least an increase in knowledge if he knows what it is not."
- Carl Jung

"The truth is a snare: you cannot have it, without being caught. You cannot have the truth in such a way that you catch it, but only in such a way that it catches you."
- Søren Kierkegaard

The Mahatma Gandhi really resonates with me.

Yeah, it's good. :) I (always!) like Gibrans words but Einstein's were possibly a bit sharper in this aspect. Truth as a snare is also a very telling quote. :)

You got a few of my very favourites in this list: Marcus and Gibrans amongst them <3 but Einstein got the gold star this time around:

"Whoever undertakes to set himself up as a judge of Truth and Knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the gods."
- Albert Einstein

LOVE that!
