Truth is a bodily reality of feeling, not a theoretical concept.

This is why stories are so powerful - through stories, we use words to transfer the bodily sensation of truth that we feel into someone else.
This is why we often say something "resonates" with us - because we feel it.

Ah but the crux is what is that feeling based on? Is it the present or is it the past? Are we feeling things based on the current reality or are we gripped by emotional responses steeped in old patterns? 

It’s why truly knowing yourself and these fine lines is the work of a lifetime  〰️
