An instant later, the culprit will be judged and sentenced. Full of remorse, the separating parties cry, “If only you would change, I wouldn’t have to leave!” Both parties, in their confusion, ask the same questions and reach the same conclusions, “I’m right! You’re wrong! It’s settled! Why argue?!” Each tells the truth but somehow they see different and opposite realities.

The inconsistency of alternating from confusion to absolute judgment is seldom realized and the behavior that follows this mindset is usually bizarre. In ancient times, this state of ‘confused absoluteness’ was known as “a house divided against itself.”  It is caused by the dis-ease, Blockage of Truth, a state in which one is locked into and can only see error. And this error is called truth.

Seldom does the confused mind think to ask, “If I’m present in every experience of my life, perhaps I’m involved in creating my pain.” Rarely does it occur to this mind to consider, “If they’re the one with the problem, why am I the one with the pain?” Only for a fleeting moment can this mind conceive that it might have set itself up for what is happening . . . Again!

Pain signals the all to common dis-ease, Blockage of Truth. A person in pain usually identifies who they think the ‘guilty party’ is — and it’s always someone else — and, they’re, “stuck in their story!” This opinion creates a block in the mind that makes it impossible to see the truth! The typical solution is blame, guilt, and separation which initiates another downward cycle into more pain and deeper resentment.
