A few weeks ago, the 5 Levels of Truth Telling came back in to my world after referring to them with a client. I came across these first in Book 2 of Conversations with God by Neale Donald Walsch, however as it turns out it was the perfect time for me to look at them again!
So, what are the 5 levels of truth telling? Glad you asked…
The 5 Levels of Truth Telling
In Book 2 of Conversations with God by Neale Donald Walsch, the author also refers to the five levels of truth telling as “…the five-fold path to freedom” (p. 3). The five levels of truth telling are –
- Telling the truth to yourself about yourself.
- Then telling the truth to yourself about another.
- Then telling the truth about yourself to another,
- Then telling the truth about another to that other.
- Finally, telling the truth to everything about everything.
Wow – I love these and have been practising the first one since I went to my first silent meditation retreat in September 2008. I had forgotten about the other ones, however am now back to practising them so I can master them and create greater freedom in my life 🙂
Reflection –
After reading the 5 levels of truth telling, you may like to reflect on the following –
- How much truth do you tell? The whole truth? The partial truth? Or the preferred truth? Is there a reason for that?
Remember – we always have a choice when it comes to telling the truth. It took a HUGE amount of courage for me to start telling the truth to myself. Some days I still struggle as I am still learning to master my feelings and listen to my body. For me I like to remember my self-compassion and also to have compassion and kindness for other people.
