Really?

Well, perhaps there are two big Truths we can agree on .  (At least I’ve been trying to get my head around these.)

The first is the Truth about everything that is.  When you add up absolutely everything which exists and all the possible ways these things act upon and react to one another in their predictabilities and unpredictabilities, the sum total of this has to be the truth about everything.  I think it’s fair to say that we’ll never ever know it all, though it is important that as a species, Humans continue to journey towards more discovering.  Humans are part of this, but even if we didn’t exist this truth would still exist – “truth” is only a label we stick on it.

The second Truth I find myself pondering is one we are creating together, the truth we increasingly believe Humans can become on a small planet in a vast universe – we are shapers of truth.  This truth isn’t about believing so much as it is about acting and actioning towards it.

This truth is an exploration of possibilities, a journey from how I see and understand things at the moment, to being open to more; then the need to be increasingly open to this more, beyond external observation, to seeing and feeling and understanding it from within and through others; and, we catch a glimpse of the emerging future which offers to come into being through our courage, generosity and wise actions.

Both Truths excite me, but the second one most of all.

Seth Godin writes: ‘Frightened, Clueless, or Uninformed,  In the face of significant change and opportunity, people are often one of these three. … Comfort the frightened, coach the clueless, and teach the uninformed.’  In his encouragement, I think Seth names a fourth response: courage.  At different times and in different circumstances we can be any of these – sometimes frightened, sometimes clueless, sometimes uninformed, and, yes, sometimes courageous.

Isn’t that the truth?

We disclose more of this Truth together on a journey, actioning the best of what it means to be Human, and the truth is, we need everyone.
