Real is not true.<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\n
You might think that<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
the rain causes your bad mood<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
the traffic jam frustrates you<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
your mother in law gets you all riled up<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
the dog makes you scared<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
your job causes stress<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
the birthday gets you excited<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
your age creates anxiety<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
alcoholism makes you drink<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
or the big red shiny sports car makes you happy.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Because that\u2019s how it looks and feels and your friends agree (mostly).<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
It\u2019s a real experience.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
For sure.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
But real is not true.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
True is always and universal and without exception, while real is very personal and temporary.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Real is how you feel right now about the rain, a traffic jam, the dog, your age or standing in an elevator.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
It\u2019s a direct experience.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Of your thoughts.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Real is the story that comes to life within you.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
So, yeah, real is very real.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
It feels real.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
But it\u2019s not true.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
And the only thing that is truly true<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
is You.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The You that experiences the ever changing realness.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The never changing You.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
The real You.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
True.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
