A Soul Truth

There is a difference between “what’s true” and the truth. Mark Twain once said, “Faith is believing something you know ‘ain’t so.” This raises an important distinction: What is true? And what is the Truth?

Truth doesn’t require belief. It stands on its own, whether or not anyone acknowledges it. Faith and belief might shape personal understanding, but they don’t dictate reality. If something is the actual Truth, it remains so, regardless of anyone’s opinions, experiences, or perceptions.

The Ego vs. The Soul in Truth

“What’s true” can be subjective, influenced by personal feelings, biases, and lived experiences. The Truth, however, is impartial. It doesn’t care if you accept it. It won’t sulk if you deny it. And unlike the ego, which craves validation, the Truth never needs agreement or approval.

When you know something deep in your soul, without doubt, you don’t feel the need to prove it. You don’t seek reassurance from others. Truth doesn’t beg to be believed; it simply is. That’s why ego clings to “what’s true,” while the soul aligns with the Truth.

The Power (and Pain) of Truth

The Truth isn’t always gentle. It often shakes foundations. When needed, it delivers shock treatment, tearing down illusions and forcing clarity. If you’ve been clinging to watered-down versions of reality, Truth will push back, demanding authenticity.

Truth can feel brutal, yet it also inspires awe and wonder. The deepest realisations, I mean the ones that make your spirit soar, are often bittersweet, revealing both loss and transformation. Unlike “what’s true,” which relies on belief, the Truth doesn’t need faith, love, or validation to exist.

Truth Arrives When the Time is Right

You can’t dictate when Truth will show up. It arrives when your life is ready for it.
If you’ve been excessively positive, Truth may come as a harsh wake-up call. If you’ve been stuck in negativity, Truth can offer unexpected hope. It always restores balance, because Truth is equilibrium itself. And unlike illusions, Truth doesn’t wait for anyone’s permission. It moves the furniture of your inner world, rearranging what needs renovation, whether you’re ready or not.

Truth Doesn’t Need Fertile Ground

Truth doesn’t need ideal conditions to take hold. It doesn’t need belief, faith, or agreement. It simply exists, indifferent to preference, resistance, or convenience.

The real question isn’t whether Truth will arrive, but whether you’ll embrace it when it does.
