Can you accept your truth?

I would say a lot of people would like to say yes, but I feel like we all have our fears, doubts, and insecurities. That is a hard question to answer, and hard to gauge our own awareness of what we think it entails.

Not to muddy it even further, but I do believe we should strive to fully accept ourselves. Because if we reject a part of ourselves, it is rejecting a part of our being. Rejecting something only makes it worse and pushes it to the surface.

With that said, I have at times personally not accepted everything about myself. Bottling up parts of myself that I do not like, to avoid having to face that side of myself. I found it easier to recognize and identify that side of my unconsciousness than suppress and hide it. And while now I feel like I can, and do accept myself, sometimes, small things slip up to the surface that remind me of how maybe I have not truly fully accepted myself yet.

Regardless, that is a hard question, and a great question as well also, welcome v!

Beautifully said Also, this is for you love <3

Thank you WeAreOne for welcome and response.


Yes it is difficult, for the ego to face its truth, especially the stories which could easily be judged negatively and lower its self-esteem (lose of validation).
However, one can face their so called dark side, expose it, make amends, and accept it. In that way it no longer needs to be a secret anymore. A life without secrets is doable. A life of truly knowing yourself by being self-honest to the very core, eliminates the fear of judgment, because you have already judged self to its core. So when someone judges you there is only two outcomes. If the judgement was true than we either say, "Yes I know", or " Thanks for pointing that out, I had not noticed that before". Or if the judgement is not true, then you know it has nothing to do with you. In either case, there is not threat, or reason to be fearful.

By overcoming the fear of judgement, all other fears that result from negative judgement no longer arises. These are the fears of rejection, segregation, abandonment, and annihilation.

In regards to being loved. This really is the prized validation of the ego. Most truths are back-to-front. Most people believe they need to be loved to feel okay. But the truth is that they need to be loving to feel okay. However, the loving needs to be unconditional or else their love has a conditioning clause to it, "If I love you, I expect a return for my investment - your love" (if not, then you don't love me, and therefore I will not feel okay). Unconditional love comes from being honest and true (no secrets, no deceptions, no wants or needs). The expression of truth is unconditional love. And unconditional love causes one to be true. Both truth and love share the exact characteristics. Both are genuine, reliable, real, unconditional, patient, persistent/unchanging. 

In regards to oneself as being perfect or not perfect, I see it in different terms. We are either true or not true. What is not true (imperfections) can be nullified by finding its truth.
