Webster says: The meaning of the word truth extends from honesty, good faith, and sincerity in general, to agreement with fact or reality in particular.

The term has no single definition about which a majority of professional philosophers and scholars agree, and various theories of truth continue to be debated. There are differing claims on such questions as what constitutes truth; how to define and identify truth; the roles that revealed and acquired knowledge play; and whether truth is subjective, relative, objective, or absolute. This article introduces the various perspectives and claims, both today and throughout history.

So even the experts are somewhat unsure of what truth really is.

Dealing with a crisis can be the most difficult time of your life.  Everything gets turned upside down.  We may even go into shock.  Now how do we know the truth to follow.

We each have truth available to us in this moment, it is within us.  Go to Living From The Heart to find out how to access this truth. 

Have you ever had the feeling that you just know something?  You don’t know how you know it or where the information came from, but you KNOW!

You know it to be truth and you will stand by it as the truth.  Where did this come from, your mind, your heart and soul, or from outer space????

I had this experience while in my cancer journey and confused and uncertain which way to turn.  See what happened to me click here, in Song of My Soul: Hope Inspiration and Wisdom From A Cancer Suvivor.

Sometimes we just want someone to tell us the truth for us.  They can’t.  The truth resides in each of us and is the only truth there is for us.

Does truth change?  Each moment is new and different and ever-evolving.  In each moment, go within and access your truth.  Jesus said, “Be still and you will know.”

He was pointing us to the truth that is available to us every moment.

This is the most important piece of the puzzle for living.  If we believe this and act this and BE this, your life will be more peaceful.  Under the layers of beliefs you have aquired since you were a child, is the underlying fear of not being good enough.  As a newborn baby you knew you were love.

With time we begin to think “I am separate from love”.  Through our experiences we develop thoughts that I have to heal, improve, and change who IAM to know love. When in effect what we have to do is ‘realize’ love – what we already are. We do this by accepting who we are, honoring our vulnerabilities, and living within peace by not seeking to continually fix who we are. 

Only when we truly love ourselves do we have it to give to others.

When you know that there is nothing you have to do, nothing to improve, you live in love, experience love, and express love.

Once you know this and have the tools to experience this, life flows.  The present moment is the place of love.

How do I know this…..there are no words to describe this knowingness.  It is part of me….IT IS PART OF YOU!

All of us have this knowingness within us.  So why can’t we hear it or feel it?  What has happened to us that this has been lost.? What has happened that we cannot access this valuable piece of our life?

LIFE itself happened to us and we got distracted by our physical world and all the messages we heard.  All these messages we heard, experienced, and felt, we began to believe.  As we believed them, we saw more and more confirmation in our life that THEY MUST be TRUE!  Then we began living as if these false messages were real, were our life, were US.  And we are continuing to live out this false information every day in our life.

Look at your life…what messages did you receive that are not necessarily true, that you live every day as if they are?

What one message do you want to change in your life?

…that that the day of your birth was a wonderful day for

all who now know you — and even for all of humanity. 

Why? Because you are so incredibly special. Because

you are Love, personified. Wisdom, expressed. Caring

and Compassion, demonstrated.  Courage, revealed. 

Because you are Humanity At Its Best. They don’t get

any better than you. Truly. And if you do not know this,

then you do not know Who and What You Are. So

today, create a way to know that. (By creating a way

to show that…)  Neale Donal Walsh

Enlightenment is the Mount Everest in human consciousness. There is nothing greater in life to discover.  It is the peak of ones existence that naturally blossoms when you’ve reached a sweet ripe maturity within every area of your life.  Full enlightenment is not just about reaching a transcendental state of bliss through meditation.  The real deal means you’ve also integrated this expanded understanding into your personal life.  When you have mastered your relationships with people, money, food, sex, health, your body, feelings, thoughts and everything on your inner and outer world, then enlightenment simply finds you.  It doesn’t have to take very long, the moment you discover a deep and complete peace within every area of your life, you will have reached the highest level of maturity and reveal what the enlightened state is all about.

One can only achieve their highest enlightened state when one has grown, evolved and come to know all parts of themselves intimately.  The full ripening and maturity of ones life means you have found peace with yourself, which overflows onto everyone and everything in your outer world.  Enlightenment is a flowering of your divinity that naturally blossoms when you have relinquished this inner battle within you.  When you discover the Source of every thought, memory and feeling on your inner world, you instantly liberate yourself from them. The experience of enlightenment is something quite mysterious and very challenging to capture with words.  It is a state of profound presence that is coming from the beyond, and is heading back into the beyond.  If you are an individual who wants to traverse this spiritually advanced path, there a few things you’ll want to know about the various levels of maturity. 

If a man becomes “enlightened” in a Himalayan cave, then later returns to the city to find himself overwhelmed with stress, strife and struggle, he hasn’t reached his full maturity yet. The ultimate maturity means you are always abiding at your peaceful center, breathing deeply as the “I” of the hurricane, enjoying the cosmic play spinning around you.  This level of maturity comes with tremendous awareness, a consciousness that burns through the ego/mind, and doesn’t let you get snagged in the cyclone of people’s’ drama. The result of constantly abiding at your peaceful center is the continuous realization that a perpetual state of joy, bliss, love and freedom is always at the source of who you are.  These realizations lead one into the ultimate maturity, which ironically has the qualities of trees in a bamboo forest.  Each individual tree contains an incredible strength as well as amazing flexibility. Their roots are deeply intertwined, this allows them to connect with the souls of everyone around them, creating a feeling of a tight loving family with every new sprout that joins the forest.

True maturity is something that’s often misunderstood in our society.  This “enlightened maturity” is unique in that it contains a childlike playfulness at the core, a constant state of receptivity to each new experience, and a profound humility that stems from the willingness to merge with everyone’s heart.  Although a peaceful stillness is always found at the very core of the mature soul, they are easily inspired, outrageous in their ideas and simply excited about being alive in this amazing multidimensional Universe.  The immature soul is easy to identify as he/she will put others down to lift him/herself up.  Since they abide in ego, they always live in a constant state of insecurity because they haven’t yet found the courage to venture deep inside, to the very core of their being, and discover the vast cosmic consciousness and all-forgiving love that’s always there. 

Maturity certainly isn’t something attained through age or adulthood.  There are many children these days who are more mature than many adults, and the numbers seem to be increasing!  The ultimate maturity comes through a welcoming of the large variety of different “hot and cold” experiences life gives you.  It is a willingness to patiently bear the emotional storms of life, knowing always that everything is temporary and this too shall pass away.  This cosmic understanding leads to the ripening of consciousness.  And as Osho once said, “The ripened fruit simply falls from the tree.”  When your consciousness is fully ripe and mature, your burdens, difficulties and problems in life will naturally fall away.  You’ll stop manifesting them because your consciousness will be sooooo high, that you couldn’t be entertained or “hooked” by the ego/mind’s illusion once again. 

You must know that this Mount Everest of enlightenment is tremendously high, and there are many many old unconscious patterns from your past that need to resurface to be transcended along the way.  To climb this peak in your Sunday slippers simply means the journey wasn’t a real adventure, yet only a lazy stroll through your neighborhood park.  If you yourself are spiritually awake, yet find yourself falling back into your ego’s dramatic play again and again, do not be discouraged.  This is just one stage of the ripening process.  The secret here is consciously allowing yourself to fall back into ego/mind, and when it happens do it with utter awareness.  Bring pure consciousness into the ego/mind and let the two merge.  This will burn away your past karmic conditioning faster than chanting a billion mantras and truly liberate you!  We are all swinging on this pendulum that flows between the ego and spirit, and there’s no getting off this ride until you have mastered it.  This mastery is your journey into maturity.  So with pure awareness meet and greet every ego/mind you encounter.  Watch how the ego rises and falls, all the while you are witnessing it, relaxed at the core and in a state of awe of this great pendulum.

I’ve personally designed an online program that is guaranteed to shift you into the highest state consciousness so that you start manifesting everything your heart desires.  Whatever your Mt. Everest is in your life, it can be reached.  You can manifest anything by using this manifesting technology.  The Super Manifesting Program contains the 8 habits Manifesting Routine that will dramatically raise your consciousness so that your desires effortlessly begin showing up in your life!  Simply follow this program for 90 days in a row and we guarantee you’ll experience the magic of manifesting!!

“You are the one to witness great changes in the world. The world is hurting and the world is at its best. The world is on a way of destruction and a world of pain.  The world is meant to suffer no more. It is meant to be a vehicle of hope for all.  Love is breaking barriers to what is possible. 

 Let go of the fear there is no fear in healing.  The healing begins with a breakdown in its structure before it can heal the wounds of itself. Many will witness the change in what will happen next and that will be a way of peace among nations.  The nations are at their worst and at the same time at their best. 

 Healing will bring the people together and the governments and leaders will have to listen to all those who work for peace and fairness among men. This is the nation among nations helping and supporting each other to a better world of tomorrow.  The right time will come in building and breaking down the walls of tomorrow’s leaders. Rebuilding a better tomorrow of the people in place of the heart ache and pain of the people. 

 Let your heart sing and believe the words. You will witness big changes that will benefit the nations.  The hearts are ready for change hope and dreams to take place for themselves and their children of tomorrows.  There are so many beginnings and so many endings to the story of destruction but there is only one god and only one way that will make it possible for the world to mend. That is bringing the heart of the people back to tomorrows dreams and what is possible to create if you are ready and worthy of that change. 

Love is the only real thing you can count on. Love is unending love sees no pain. Love only creates what is imagined and what is real. Let it be so. ” Thor

Throughout our lives we have developed expectations of what we think should happen, or how we think our life should be, or how someone else should act…..the list goes on.  It is part of our human nature and has become a habit of ours.  We place expectations on everything.

It goes against our old habits not to have expectations.  But can we drop expectations?  What if we did?  What would happen?

We pray for our desires of what we truly want for our lives to be perfect.  Is this different than expectations?

Could one be coming from our heart and another be coming from our mind?   Maybe, I don’t know.

Dropping all expectations may free some of us from thought, worry, analysis, fear, etc.  The very things that can block us and stop us from moving forward.

And just watch your life as a neutral observer.  Watch your thoughts, watch your emotions, watch your physical body….stand outside of these and just be the observer with no judgement or expectation.

When you become the observer, you no longer identify with the mind….you are no longer the mind.

This creates space between YOU and the mind and the emotions.  This space allows the energy of the thoughts to diminish and eventually stop controlling your life.  Because you are not these thoughts or emotions.  You are an energy or a spirit far greater and more powerful.  You are just trapped in your mind and emotions at times and get lost.

Be the OBSERVER and create space to connect to you natural power within…YOU

How do I deal with the never ending fear associated with a cancer diagnosis?  (not just for cancer but for all our fears)

Just the word cancer brings up a huge energy of fear in everyone…we have come to know the word and the dreaded consequences of it.  Cancer seems to be everywhere….it touches everyones life…its scary!!  We begin to believe if I get cancer its a death sentence.  Its not….but we hold these beliefs and fears about cancer within us.

If you are going through treatment for cancer it is a never ending state of fear…is the treatment working?

Will my cancer cells die?  Will it come back?  Will I be sick?  What will happen to my kids, spouse, family? How am I going to pay for all this?  What if I can’t work?  What if I lose my job?  What if I die?

And the list goes on and on….Can you feel the above words…how much fear and how you can spiral into millions of questions and more and more fear?

It is like a vicious circle feeding off itself…creating more and more of the fearful thoughts and scenerios.

This is common and can happen….but it is very important to have tools to shift yourself out of that energy into a higher energy.  Your body can heal, there are many treatments and options available,  and you have to work on staying in a higher vibration of energy for your body to heal.  Your body can’t heal in a low energy state.

If you noticed all the questions above have to do with what might happen…..none of them are happening now…they are something that could happen in the future….SO they are not even real.

Your mind creates thoughts which can rule your life….it can create monstrosities……

You have two options……continue to think about all these fearful things that may happen in the future…which wastes all your healing energy…..

OR

Notice all these thoughts and DECIDE…that you don’t know what is going to happen in the future and thinking, thinking, thinking and becoming more fearful is wasting your time and precious energy.  The energy you want to heal.

You choose…….

If you choose to use your energy for healing…try this………………..

Focus your attention in your body as much as possible.  Feel it from within.  Is there life in your hands, feet, arms, chest, etc.?  Can you feel energy flowing through your body?  Stay focussed on your inner body.  Notice the pulsating energy flowing through all your cells and organ…this is what gives you life…Feel it deeply.  Feel your body alive.

Your focus on the inner body has freed your mind…….this will help you so you won’t lose yourself in your mind.  You will still have thoughts, emotions, fears, etc. but they won’t take you over.

Practice this every day for a week and you will be amazed at how you feel.  Many times a day, refocus yourself back into your inner body and feel it.

Did you know the chemicals that make up our emotional feelings only stay in our blood for 90 seconds? 90 Seconds!  We all have the power to cycle out of worry, anger or fear…here’s how.  Feel how your “mood” or “attitude” or “feeling” actually feels in your body.  Are you calm?  Peaceful?  Happy?  Is life feeling pleasant right now?  If not, then REST, put yourself on PAUSE for 90 seconds.  STOP whatever you are doing.  Breathe.  Breathe again.  Breathe once more.  Then shift your thoughts to anything or anyone you love and allow your chest to relax: music, sunsets, mountains, oceans, dogs – and keep picturing and thinking and breathing for 90 seconds.  This isn’t a game, this is physiology.  You must be truly engaged with your emotions for this to work…and it does work!  You are the conductor of your internal chemical orchestra.

In thinking about what I was told, the truth rang out to me.  See how it feels to you.

This is a human dilemna….we live with so much fear that separates us from our inherit greatness.

You can insert any word in the place of “illness” and it still feels true to me.  So whatever it is you are dealing with, take these wise words and use them in your life…….

“Yes I am your angel & I am with thee at your side. I have heard your question about fear ….

You fear what you can not see and you separate yourself from what it is that you are…which is  pure light  and oneness with that light.

You go outside of yourself and allow yourself to feel the unknown as fear.  

You are the light of awareness separating yourself from the light of Christ
and holding on to what you fear…… illness and loneliness and freedom. ”
 
“How do you let go of these things we hold on to?” 

“You need to speak to the part of yourself that knows who you are and what you are.  Believe you are well…….. believe you are hope…….. and believe you are righteousness in what you are as a human. 

You are not your illness, but you still believe you are.   You need to go within and tell your  illness to be gone in the name of  love and feel yourself release that fear of illness that you believe is part of what you are.

You are not the illness……….you are the butterfly that waits to be released from the hold that you have put on yourself.    You are within the cocoon of freedom waiting to be set free!!!!!

Speak to yourself  and say “I release you in the name of love” .  Release it into Gods Hands with love.

Separate yourself from the illness, you are not alone. The angels are with you!  Take this and make this real.”
