The Difference Between Truth And A Lie
Truth is totally transparent, uncontaminated clarity.
It never changes.
A lie is semi-opaque and vague but believable.
It has a changeable story.
Consciousness is transparent and direct.
The mind is semi-opaque and indirect.
Whatever we side with – love or blame – it’s never the truth.
Truth is the middle way of unbiased pure consciousness.
A lie needs a small element of truth for the gullible to believe.
Belief distracts: it’s what lies do.
BUDDHA IN THE MUD is a blog - a living book based on the Dzogchen teachings. Our teacher is life, and life is karma. In this way, Dzogchen is practical - no bells and whistles required. 
Love is never the truth? Anyone who believes love is a lie has not experienced truth.
I’d like to see a scripture from any of the world’s religions that says love is a lie.
Transcendent love is the energy behind all of existence. Its intelligence is in all things, and nothing exists outside of it. In its sacred embrace all is loved as one. It is what is at this very instant, and there is nothing more.
Hello NHGS,
Maybe it all depends on whether the love is conditional or unconditional. If love relies on a condition, it is attachment – my appreciation. A duality.
if love is the realisation of the essential nature of everyone – no separation. Non-duality.
From realisation comes empathy, and from empathy we feel compassion.
First we must know what is absolute truth to know love. Love is not expecting anything in return.
In this world there are many views of love.
Sometimes it’s challenging. 🙂

Hi Tony,
The love I know is unconditional and I could explain much more about it if I knew your email address.
