Absolute & Relative Truth
* * *
Absolute Truth is Divine Truth, the Truth of our Being, the truth of existence, True Nature, the nature of what we are, the nature of what is. This Absolute Truth is the core of our being, the fundamental ground of existence. It is the penetrating wisdom of undifferentiated consciousness, the clear light of our being, awareness, the formless and absolute dimension of what we are. Actually, it would be even more true to say that Absolute Truth is the dimensionless space where nothing ever happened. It is a place of perfect pristine peace and it is wholly and absolutely real. Exquisitely more real than what we tend to call reality.

Relative truth has to do with our experience of apparent reality. Relative truth shows us what we are seeing in a ordinary and habitual way. Relative truths are basic truths of our experience of space-time where our core identification and orientation is coming from a sense “I, me, mine”. The main character of our relative truth is the person or entity that we take ourselves to be. The more intimate and honest, non-reactive and non-resistant we become with our relative truths, the more the Absolute Truth can reveal itself.

When we offer our relative truths to the moment, to our conscious awareness, pure space is made. To offer our relative truths means to be deeply and vulnerably honest about your immediate experience. Offering the relative truth is to hold our experience lightly enough that it can continue to unfold and firm enough that we can see it and feel it for what it actually is. The way we generally communicate is by reinforcing most of what we say with more conviction, always overtly or covertly trying to be right. Offering on the other hand expresses the honest relative truth without concluding or asserting that it is the ultimate truth.
* * *
In loosening our tight hold on relative truths in this way allows the larger Truth of existence to peer through. If you can become very clear and precise about your relative inner experience, it will naturally open you into a sense of greater and greater freedom. This is because in our willingness to see our relative truths without other resistances, attachments or assumptions(which are themselves relative truths that can be seen through), the Absolute Truth, the larger context of existence reveals itself as our very nature.
* * *
In this way we utilize our immediate & relative experience to be kindling for the sacred fire of Absolute Truth. Then our perception naturally shifts and the Absolute Truth we were looking for, looks through us into the world and sees only itself. Here our sense of personhood or the entity we thought we were is swallowed into the entirety of existence. Our ordinary lives and our precious and clumsy humanity then become transparencies through which the Absolute Truth manifests itself. The deeper truth would be that this was always so - that the Absolute Truth has always been manifesting itself in and as all creations, yet now we have awakened to this fact. Our sense of separation from the whole diminishes and we become glad participants in the orchestration of existence.
