Truth is only in the aloneness,

When the mind is really alone,

Without any influences.

When the mind is really empty,

Without any gossip,

Stories,

Narratives.

And only such a mind is capable of seeing the truth.

But if the mind is always seeking,

Always depending,

The mind is always being filled in by other things.

The very seeking,

The very depending is to fill the mind,

Which is in opposition to emptying.

So the very depending,

The very relying on something,

Something external,

Makes the mind full.

A mind that is not empty must be living in illusions.

It is a fact.

It is up to you to see the fact,

The real fact,

Not lose funny ones in the media,

In the propaganda.

Facts are not a product of thoughts.

Facts must be independent of any thoughts.

Or else the so-called facts,

Which are the product of thoughts,

Can be easily manipulated,

Influenced,

Modified.

And this is what is going on,

On this planet,

From the political propaganda,

From the business.

And they are doing the same trick.

And your mind is being influenced by them,

From TV,

The internet,

The mobile phone,

All kinds of sources of information.

It's filling your mind.

They are so eager to tell you what is true.

But when the mind is being filled in by those things,

The mind is already living in the false.
