NTI Romans 2 is the story of a wish, “What if nothing is as it was?” It tells the story of how the wish was focused on to the point that truth was forgotten. It says:
Struck with [the idea that your wish came true], you became engrossed by it. And you tossed [the truth] aside. Faced with reality and the option of fantasy, you chose to step into fantasy.
Does that mean we rejected truth?
Today’s reading says we did not reject truth. When we “tossed [the truth] aside,” we merely repressed it, and what we repress we keep. That means the truth is always with us, whether it is acknowledged or not.
When our eyes are open to truth, the idea that we could reject truth is laughable. It is seen clearly that rejecting truth is impossible. It is the one thing that can never be done. However, before our eyes have opened, we can be-lie-ve we have rejected truth. We can even be-lie-ve that we continue to do so. This untrue idea can be the source of guilt and self-condemnation. Therefore, it is important to see that it isn’t true.
Today’s reading teaches that you have never rejected truth. It has always been with you. After reading today’s reading, consider spending some time in awareness-watching-awareness. Find out for yourself if you’ve rejected truth, or if you ever could.
