Prose: The knowing unknowing of knowing is so very painful to feel

We all know the truth, in our hearts,
and also in our subconscious minds.
But, we do not know it in our consciousness.
Consciousness can not know the unknown.
Our conscious minds can see pointers to the truth,
but these remain only indicators of truth's direction.
The shadow of truth, or eminences of truth's light,
are not truth. Our conscious mind cannot know truth.
And so the unknowing is painful, in our minds,
as we know that we do not know, and can never know,
the truth with our conscious minds. Truth lives only ever,
within our hearts, and within our unconscious minds.
This knowing of the unknowing of our not knowing,
gives us great pain, if we remain in our conscious minds,
looking for any proof of truth, to be proved there alone.
We can only know what we already know, so must trust it.
Our hearts and our unconscious minds have been built,
with God's truth truly inbuilt within love, in our hearts,
and within his spirit which connects to our unconscious
mind. Having faith in both heart, and spirit, reveals all.
Author's other notes:
Both the shadow, and the light of truth, do not let us know the real truth.
They always will only ever remains just pointers to the truth, at best.
We can only ever know the truth of the truth, in our hearts, and we know it unconsciously, via our spirits too.
Only love can connect our mind to these other whole true truths, existing in our heart, and unconscious minds. In no other way can they be felt, and known as real.

Both the shadow, and the light of truth, are never enough on their own.

You may know only the truth from the untruth and you become conscious out of unconsciousness.

Where do we know the untruth from then? I guess it's our original state, or is it?
Does the unconsciousness still stay around too, then, when we become conscious, and why would it do so, or still need to do so, if it does?
I think that consciousness is more an addon to us, that allows us to choose truth, and love, and God, in our lives. Consciousness is connected to our freedom.
Without love, we neither have access to truth, nor consciousness, nor freedom.
These (truth and consciousness and freedom) are basically all only tools of love that enable us to greater love, by choosing love, because we see the truth in it, and behind it, and we see how love gives us the only real awareness to be fully conscious of itself, and God too, and so we then obtain the only true freedom then too.

@innertalks To delve into unconsciousness to become conscious and to unfold the untruth to be the truth must needs be a desire to do it. And it is facilitated by the thing called love.

@Nakitakona It is interesting to explore our unconsciousness, and to become conscious of what we are unconscious of right now too.
Has God got an unconscious part about him too, and if not, why did he give one to us?
I would answer this question that there is no unconsciousness in God.
God is totally conscious in a different way by being totally alive in his light of himself at all times, and his love shines forth consciously too, onto all of creation.
We need to be like God, as much as we can too.
This is why some new age religions strive for something that they call, God-consciousness.

Thanks. I woke up last night, seeing a strange light on the wall, the shape of a cocoon.
It took me a while to see that it was actually coming from my mirror, as a projection, via the light of a bedside lamp.
The angle was just right for this to happen, and it got me to thinking about truth, and its light.
It is more than just a projected light that we might see with our mind's alone.
The truth is the light of love in our hearts, not the thought of it in our minds.

I saw an eerie-looking, egg-shaped oval image, on my wall at night.

@RebeccasFarm The mirror is large and oval-shaped too; it did take me a while to see that that was what was causing it.
You can see that the shape is similar here.

I never lose my faith and at the hardest of moments it comes shining through, It is the knowing and the faith and the believing that lead me on through life,

Yes, I think that such faith is the most important ingredient of a good life.
Without faith, we are left in our minds to stew over the doubts in there, about what real truth is, or not.
With faith, we connect to our hearts, and to our spirits, and there are no doubts then, as we know that we are connected to the real truth, then too, via our faith, and our love for God.

Creation is a masterpiece but that is a a gross understatement.
We will never know the truth while here though there are pointers in our scriptures etc.
But then, there are one too many and they diverge too.
I sometimes wonder, why this divide and rule?
Can we ever find a common path? But then each generation has a time limit and most pass on wondering at what they go through. Life is no joke for most and we are put through the wringer and even hounded like now! We have moments of deeper consciousness but they are transient and vague like in the image of yours.
I believe in doing justice to our talents and keep pegging away and certainly listen to our hearts and inner knowing.
We are cut to size but with an yearning to punch above our weight to unravel the mystery of life and creation.

We try to know the truth from our minds, rather than our hearts.
We know the truth innately already in our hearts, and we can connect to it there, but still, we try to settle for a lesser mind-version of it instead.
And when we do this, our mind version, becomes better than somebody else's mind version then, so then we move away from the truth in our hearts, to an ego-based rendering of postulations of truth, not real truth, in our minds.

@Shiva49 Yes, I agree with you there too.
I think that all parts of us have their usefulness, and right function, and the ego, can be used for our benefit too, and pull us up towards love, than down away from love, if we use it rightly, as another tool on our path.

@innertalks Yes Steve, then we see only differences and think others are from, well, Mars and some hot-headed from Venus!
Ego demolishes reason but some say ego is needed too to punch above our weight, a certain amount of restlessness is needed to strive and explore; contentment is an excuse for laziness!
