Lessons for Those Blinded by The Truth

Your New Life Awaits

BE BLIND NO MORE

Growing in the shadows,

My eyes behold the lighted path

Of a new life awaiting.

Be blinded no more;

Follow your heart,

Look with your soul,

Trust your instincts,

Know what you think,

See what you say,

Let your intuition guide,

Be strong and not afraid.

Follow your heart,

Wandering in a darkened world,

Go the lighted path beyond Truth

To the end of the lights,

At the crossroads of time,

Make new choices and decisions.

Open your heart,

Open your eyes,

Open your ears;

Bring the new life to light,

With courage to grow your destinies,

No longer blinded by the Truth. – Dr Michael Heng

“We are all blinded by our beliefs. Only respectful debate can bring us closer to the greater truth.” — Jim Steele

“All the preaching in the world cannot make a man see the truth so long as his eyes are blinded.” — Charles Spurgeon

“That the discovery of this great Truth, which lies so near and obvious to the mind, should be attained to by the reason of so very few, is a sad instance of the stupidity and inattention of men, who, though they are surrounded with such clear manifestations of the deity, are yet so little affected by them, that they seem as it were blinded with excess of light.” — George Berkeley

SEE WITH YOUR SOUL’S EYE

“Truth and facts are woven together. However, sometimes facts can blind you from seeing what is actually going on in someone’s life.” — Shannon L. Alder

“For the eye of the soul, blinded and buried by other pursuits, is rekindled and aroused again by these (studies) and these alone, and it is better that this be saved than thousands of bodily eyes, for by it alone is the truth of the universe beheld.” — Nicomachus Of Gerasa

“Most people are blinded by faith leaving them unable to see the truth that is science.” — Harry Gordon Johnson

“I thought that as I had failed in the contemplation of true existence, I ought to be careful that I did not lose the eye of my soul; as people may injure their bodily eye by observing and gazing on the sun during an eclipse, unless they take the precaution of looking at the image reflected in the water, or in some similar medium … I was afraid that my soul might be blinded altogether if I looked at things with my eyes or tried by the help of my senses to apprehend them. And I thought that I had better had recourse to ideas, and seek in them truth in existence. I dare to say that the simile is not perfect for I am far from admitting that he who contemplates existence through the medium of ideas, sees them only “through a glass darkly” any more than he who sees them in their working and effects.” — Socrates

A BETTER LIFE AWAITS

“A better life lies on the other side of Truth. There is only one authentic true reality, and many fake versions which have blinded many.” — Dr Michael Heng

“The Truth is easy to see, but hard to look at when you are blinded by the demands that your body and soul make of you. “ — S. Vagus

“Eyes blinded by the fog of things cannot see Truth. Ears deafened by the din of things cannot hear Truth. Brains bewildered by the whirl of things cannot think Truth. Hearts deadened by the weight of things cannot feel Truth. Throats choked by the dust of things cannot speak Truth.” — Harold Bell Wright

“Every morning is bright, beautiful, and gorgeous like the sun, but we can’t see it because we are blinded by day-to-day tasks.” — Debasish Mridha

“The Truth of the matter — as I’ve come to understand it — is that people will ignore every warning sign when blinded by their thirst for something. It’s better to not be thirsty.” — Tarryn Fisher

“Civilization has been an intermittent phenomenon; to this Truth we have allowed ourselves to be blinded by the insolence of material success.” — — — — Richard M. Weaver

SELF-LOVE

“Love opens the eyes of our understanding and enables us to see more of the truth than can those who are blinded by self-love. Those who love most, see most.” — Hannah Hurnard

“The cause of all the blunders committed by man arises from this excessive self-love. For the lover is blinded by the object loved; so that he passes a wrong judgment on what is just, good and beautiful, thinking that he ought always to honor what belongs to himself in preference to truth. For he who intends to be a great man ought to love neither himself nor his own things, but only what is just, whether it happens to be done by himself, or by another. “ —- Plato

“Many people believe that eliminating the apparent causes of fear will eliminate it, but fear, like beauty, is part of the world. The fear of fear results in the growth of terror as well as a loss of the beauty and wonder of the world. By fearing fear, we create the room for terror and panic to grow. People become blinded by fear, driven by anxieties, and increasingly ruled by phobias and obsessions. When we fail to recognize how fear works in the world, we become ruled by it. The point is not to become paralyzed with foreboding or be caught in the panic that can grip the collective and cause people to run blindly in the wrong direction. The point is to willingly go where most fear to go, to follow where the fear might lead and face the ways that the world roars at us.” — Michael Meade

CHANGE YOUR MINDWARE

“The great mistake of contemporary life is that we have made such a virtue of intellectual growth while almost totally ignoring the necessity of conscience growth. We have failed to understand that individual evolution can take place not only in mental but in moral power. The earth tragically today is full of people who remain fixated on a childish level of conscience.
