Is there alignment?
When nothing is done, nothing is left undone, as the quote about the Tao goes.
In daily interactions and actions, most fabricate ways of showing up that are out of alignment with honesty; masquerading the truth with small lies of omission or commission, because the bill has to get paid, because the idea of conflict is scary, because appearing a certain way is most accepted in our group, and many more reasons.
What if there were always alignment instead? Is there alignment right now? If not, where is it?
Alignment is a simplification term to make the point. It is the state of truth and honesty. It’s already always there, and that’s why when nothing is done, nothing is left undone. When nothing is done to cover it up through layers of perceived, distorted protection, honesty is there, no matter what.
Now it is there, and it is possible to notice it. It comes out without any force needed. It is a recognition. The force is only required for the layers of fabricated lies on top of it, which naturally create tensions throughout the body.
But for many, those tensions have become something to take for granted—something part of existence itself. Yet if you are curious about discoveries, you can make an important one right now.
