On Truth
There is a reality that we collectively pretend does not exist.
When what has long lived in the dark is brought into view, it often appears extreme. Not because it is exaggerated, but because we are unused to seeing it.
It is as real as our tendency to twist, hide, or avoid what unsettles us.
Certainly, Truth is not always pretty.
At times it is hard, painful, even brutal.
Stories can make Truth easier to swallow.
But in times like these, clarity matters more than comfort.
What you find here is not softened.
Not to provoke, but to avoid distortion.
You are free to turn away.
You are free to stay.
Once something is seen clearly, it cannot be unseen.
From there on, ignorance is no longer possible.
On the word “self”
In these texts, the word self is used as a linguistic pointer.
It points to the one who is reading, feeling, perceiving, and living this life.
It does not mean that there is a separate, solid, permanent entity inside you.
It does not point to a metaphysical “true self,” a soul, or a fixed identity.
When words like self-acceptance, self-trust, or self-realization appear here,
they simply mean: turning toward what is happening in you, rather than away from it.
Language needs a handle.
“Self” is that handle.
It is a way of speaking about lived experience,
not a statement about what you ultimately are.
