Fortune Cookie Truth

"Ultimately
All attempts at discussing Truth
Leave you sounding like a fortune cookie."

-- Ram Tzu

The Truth can be encapsulated in a few simple precepts. All is one. Be kind. Take care of each other. Take care of yourself. Live in the present. You know, the short, pithy phrases that Ram Tzu calls "fortune cookie truth," and that I call "bumper sticker wisdom."

Theologians, philosophers, and other so-called experts delight in complicating, codifying, and californicating the Truth, but behind, beneath and beyond all their talk, the Truth remains pure and simple.

And you know It. You know It intuitively. You don't need a PhD in Truthology. You don't need to sit at the feet of some guru for 20 years. You don't need to read even one more book. The Truth, like its buddy The Kingdom of Heaven, resides within. Within each of us. All of us. The only action you may need to take is to quiet down enough so that you can hear It speak.

And that's the Truth.
