Confronting the Gap Within. (1 min 33 sec)
Preview
Imagine a vast chasm, a deep and wide gap that separates two cliffs. This gap symbolizes the space between "Truth" and "What Is," representing the present reality, and "Fantasy," which encompasses our wishes, lies, self-deceptions, and made-up stories about how we want things to be. Notice the discrepancy between our genuine experiences and the idealized versions we create in our minds.
1. The chasm of reality vs. fantasy.
The gap is the difference between the truth of our current reality and the fantasies we construct in our minds. This gap is filled with the lies that we tell ourselves.
2. The role of self-deception.
Our self-deception contributes to filling the gap with lies. We create stories that make us feel better in the short run, even if those narratives are not aligned with reality.
Self-deception hinders our spiritual progress by keeping us disconnected from the truth of our experiences.
3. The path to healing and authenticity.
As we address the falsehoods and self-deceptions we tell ourselves, the divide narrows because the fantasies were never based in reality, allowing the truth to step in and fill the void.
