Hi Tina,

I wanted to further reinforce Matt’s analogy, and also challenge it (healthily) by adding that it is not so much that there are wrong or right views, there are just different ones, as illustrated by the snake and rope. Either one is a point of view, and it is our truth. I think what sets us free in reference to “the truth shall set you free”, is finding a way of seeing the truth that will best serve us. Examine the entire “picture”, based on what is, rather than what we believe it is. Upon closer examination the “snake” was not a snake at all, but if we allow fear to stop us in our tracks, we get paralyzed and unable to turn on the light to “see” the truth:)

Thank you for the question. It truly helped me with something I am dealing with at this very moment. Which is so interesting, considering I was looking for the truth or meaning in something, when it was always there, blocked by my fear of what I may find if let go of my view.

Kindest,

Natalia
