About this listen
What is self-betrayal? When we are aware of something that distracts us from silence, and then consciously indulge in it because it’s tasty. This betrays the truth.
Telling ourselves stories about what is happening in any moment is a way we try to avoid, control, or manage emotions. Stories may seem to distract us from emotions, but they are a heavy burden to carry, and they distract us from peace.
It’s possible to see through this indulgence in narrative; to stop believing all stories, and in that, to stop betraying the truth. Quiet is here.
Even in the midst of an intense emotion coming up, silence is still here.
