Post 5 – A Truth That Cannot Be Shaken
Two Selves in One We are always within the Truth. We embody our true being, yet in time, we perceive it only in fragments—one fleeting moment at a time. This fractured perception obscures the whole. Unconsciously, we know the Truth because we are it; however, consciously, we perceive only its fleeting fragments: the present moment.…
