One stream. One truth. Reality is defined and designed by you, the individual. And, by design, you get to decide how &#8220;real&#8221; you want your reality to be.<\/p>\n<p>You are given the possibility, and the imperative, of being able to bring into reality the things that are truly real, and truly healing for you.<\/p>\n<p>If you decide that your reality is full of lies and half-truths\u2014or even a casual ignoring of the truly real\u2014then this is your reality. Your detachment from your truth is a critical aspect of your reality.<\/p>\n<h1>What is real anyway? Perhaps what&#8217;s truly real is what feels most like our authentic truth.<\/h1>\n<p>This is my desire: for anything other than my truth to be the uncomfortable place. I want to learn to sit comfortably uncomfortable in the beauty and messiness of my truth. I want to feel that anything less than it is a trap I am creating for myself. For I know \u2014 and have learned \u2014 inevitably, the truth will catch up with me. I can&#8217;t outrun it, though I can deny it. Yet no matter where I look, it will still be there.<\/p>\n<p>The denying of our truth adds pressure and pain to our lives. It&#8217;s the pressure to re-frame everything; to re-frame our reality so that it painfully fits into the limited perspective we&#8217;ve deemed acceptable. It&#8217;s a carefully crafted noose that will eventually hang us.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, why not bring into reality the things that are truly real, and truly healing for you? Trust it&#8217;s your imperative as its designer.<\/p>\n<p><em>photo credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/scoobymoo\/19863613\/\" target=\"_blank\">Alison J-B<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"ttr_end\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Despite how we talk about it, reality isn&#8217;t one thing.
