What must be total? Everything that you want to exist. Can commitment that is not wholehearted be said to exist? Can love that is not unconditional, be said to be love at all? Is anything less than perfect faith any kind of faith at all?
Only what is total exists
What exists at one time, and not at another time, cannot be said to exist at all. Its seeming existence is only a trick played by time, a temporary distraction. What truly exists is independent of, outside of time.
Anything less than complete truth is not truth at all. If not all your words can be believed, then none can. Truth cannot be diced up. You will recognize it by its totality and lack of any opposite.
What is total and exists independently of time is also perfectly quiet. The truth does not need to announce itself; why should it? It is always there. What constantly announces itself does not really exist. Without your attention, it is nothing.
Take refuge in quiet
