Among his many clients, Mitch Hammer consults with the military. A few years ago he was talking about The Ground Truth and I asked him about the phrase. The Ground Truth is term used by soldiers to describe what is actually happening on the ground (of course) despite what the politicians and generals think or decide should be happening. It is the actual experience as measured against the ideal or the abstraction.

The creation of power begins when you take a look at the ground truth. What is actually happening versus what you think should be happening? Can you let go the ideal long enough to locate yourself in your ground truth? What do you see when you drop the list of should-do and should-be and simply see what is?

The ground truth is often obscured behind a wall of judgments and expectations, manipulations and enabling. The ground truth lives beyond belief and faith. Can you allow yourself to suspend the judgments, set down the expectations, let go of the resistances and simply describe What is?
