 Photo by Judy Beth Morris on UnsplashHow to Find Your Own TruthBy Deepak Chopra, MD, FACP, FRCPAll around us, we hear comments about the threat to truth, pointing to widespread disinformation, lies told at high levels, and a prevailing distrust of the news media. Although this has created a climate of distrust and anxiety, there is a positive outcome if you can find your own truth.Speaking your truth is the most you can do to bring truth back. It is far more effective than fighting against lies and disinformation, which is ultimately futile — there is no closing Pandora’s box on them. The spiritual axiom that holds true is that the darkness is dispelled by shining a light.Human psychology is complex, and many people think — and loudly proclaim — that they are speaking the truth when they actually aren’t. I’m not referring to deliberate lying. Far more subtle are expressions that pass for the truth in our own minds. You aren’t speaking your own truth when you engage in the following:Sharing gossip and innuendoRepeating a story you saw on the newsAgreeing with popular opinionBeing guided by someone elseAutomatically reacting in a predictable wayThese are very common ways of expressing yourself, and my purpose isn’t to condemn them. Truth isn’t about moralizing. The shadows of the psyche contain impulses of hate, prejudice, intolerance, and the rest — everyone is familiar with them. You can’t speak your truth if you mix dark impulses into your everyday expression.By the same token, we are all familiar with the light. The psyche brings impulses of love and compassion, along with every virtue humankind has cherished in spiritual traditions. Therefore, it isn’t difficult to know the truth and to avoid our darker impulses. Parents guide their children to know the difference between right and wrong. For most people, the lessons stick.We have to look deeper to find the truth the New Testament points to with the words, “And you will know the truth, and that truth will set you free.” The immediate context was Jesus making a promise to those who would follow him, but over time the idea that the truth can set us free has expanded beyond religion. If you think of what it means to be set free, several possibilities come to mind.Truth sets you free from falsehood — that’s the most basic kind of liberation. Truth frees you from deception and illusion, too. This opens a floodgate of possibilities. In the teachings of Vedanta, the physical world that greets the senses is Maya or illusion. Being liberated from the bondage of the five senses is a lifelong project. In the same vein, being freed from pain and suffering, the core teaching of Buddhism, is lifelong.

    The enormousness of the task is almost as great as the inspiration behind it. You don’t have to agree with Jesus, Buddha, or any other spiritual guide to know that life brings false hopes, pain and suffering, and frustrated ideals, including the victory of good over bad.When “the truth will set you free” is expanded to such a vast vision, it stymies the average person. A lifelong project can’t be sustained, because motivation weakens over time. It isn’t true that the road to Hell is paved with good Intentions. The road to faded dreams is more like it.
