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

There is only one thing that will delay your enlightenment.  There is only one place that you can hide, where the enlightened state cannot find you.  By doing this one thing, you will always block bliss from penetrating your being.  This one thing is to remain in your mind, living up in your head, and never ever stop thinking.  If you never give the mind space to rest it’s thinking routine, you can never relax deeply enough to know Nirvana. 

On the enlightened path, you realize that “thinking” separates you from entering a cosmic state of being.  Thinking only takes you away from the light of consciousness that is emanating from the core of your being… right now.  Thinking actually creates a lack of consciousness, while being allows for more consciousness to enter.  By dropping thinking, you attain this effortless Universal mind and fall into the highest levels of ecstatic consciousness. 

By living from your neck up you are only believing in your mind’s version of reality, and remain imprisoned in thought.  You cannot know the Divine Source from where all thought comes from until you drop the head. This struggling mind is what causes you to think you’re separate from Source.  It creates and holds tightly onto beliefs, morals, ideologies, traditions, grudges and thus makes you think you are not be free.  Being free of the mind is true freedom.  It is resting in Source and relaxing into this pure consciousness that you already are.

The moment you liberate yourself from the incessant chatter and dialog in your mind, you are instantly happy, enlightened and free!  The mind can no longer be bothering you with its wants, needs and desires.  It cannot because it has found something much bigger, better and more satisfying to explore.  It has discovered the God Source is within itself.  It’s true nature is divine!  The instant you realize all life forms contain this infinitely creative divine energy, you discover that within yourself.  The best thing about enlightenment is that its free, and you can fall into it at anytime anyplace.  Just simply stop thinking about anything, and it will show up.

Remember however that enlightenment is an all or nothing experience.  Either you totally surrender the ego/mind, or you don’t.  There’s no 99% surrender in the land of enlightenment.  The mind is either absorbed in the Self, or the ego is still running the big show.  Each moment anything can happen and you can swing in either direction.  You instantly step into the enlightened state when you drop the mind and surrender to the source of pure consciousness.  It’s a super simple, really it’s a “no-brainer”.

This divine flash of enlightenment does not just happen from thinking only enlightening thoughts, it cannot.  If we possessed the “right thoughts” to become enlightened, then our enlightenment could be taken away when those thoughts disappeared.  Enlightenment is something that cannot be taken away because it is your natural state of being, the love that is your essence.  Your heart is where enlightenment lives, and where it is found.

So the real question to ask yourself is, “What am I doing that is blocking this natural feeling of being enlightened?”  Well, what are you thinking about?  How often are you in silence and have stopped thinking?  Clinging to thoughts is the #1 issue people have.  Dwelling on any thought takes you away from the pure presence of your enlightened nature.  It’s that simple!  Just by noticing your thinking patterns, bringing awareness to them, you start to enjoy the play and start being this big bright ball of luminescent conscious light.  From here you can easily let any thought come or go, and your brilliant beaming loving essence shines through on everyone.

Dropping the mind is easy, it only takes one little trick called a slight shift in perception.  I invite you to ask yourself one little question every morning from here on… “What is it like to completely be free from any attachment to my body, these thoughts, feelings, beliefs, expectations, judgments, etc… and feel intimately connected, free, open, alive and joyous in the here and now?”  Ask yourself this question before you get out of bed each morning for 3 days and see what happens!   This is something worth getting really excited about. 

To have this enlightening experience you must devote yourself 300% to fully being here now.  You must let go of every single thought that you are attached to or avoiding.  Any thought, idea or memory that you feel is more important than this all-intelligent divine magical Universal presence, then that becomes your God. 

When you let go of the mind, you become one with everything.  From here you can welcome everything that is happening within this experience of your life right now.  This makes existence feel very sacred and intimate.  You realize that each person, place and thing is actually filled with Divine energy and the same all-intelligent consciousness, so you end up bowing down to life everywhere you go.  Everything becomes enjoyable because you never have a problem enjoying your connection with Source which is always in the here and now.

Whatever you focus on or give attention to, this is how you make, invent and generate your reality.  If you want to become enlightened then focus on the idea that you already are, then let that thought go.  There is no need to hold onto any thought, for it is simply a changing thing. The divine experience of yourself is always going to be sooo much more amazing than anything your mind can imagine.

If thinking is the only block, then the solution and way to conquer the head is to bring your awareness away from your brain and down into your heart.  By simply focusing your attention on your heart as often as possible, you open that energy center which is the source of love, compassion and awareness.  By meditating on your heart for 20 minutes a day will alone cause you to move closer to the enlightened state.  An open heart brings on a quieter mind, where you can find this deliciousness inside.

If you just cannot stop thinking, try sitting down and pondering what the state of no-mind is like.  What would it be like to be without thoughts?  Be careful, with enough attention you may suddenly drop it!  That enlightening space tastes divine and when you take the time to fully explore your inner world, you’ll soon discover that you are not alone, you are not this mind, and that you are the master of these thoughts.

Notice how all thoughts come and they go, while you stay permanently.  You are forever here now.  Realize this, and surrender your attachment to your mind, your ego and its agenda.  Release any grip your mind has on any thought and be ONE with every atom in the Universe.  The battle is over if you are no longer fighting with it. The continual thinking head has to surrender when its faced with the heart.  It cannot win over the powerful loving presence from below.

 The great secret to entering this enlightened heart state is to begin with feeling your deepest, most emotional feelings which you can find inside.  Whatever it is… a feeling of joy, gratitude, appreciation, love, or anger, sadness, grief, apathy, whatever it is negative or positive it does not matter.  Just be real and honest with yourself, you cannot lose.  Just stop and feel what is really going on in your life, don’t think about just feel into it completely and see how everything changes.

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

There is nothing to heal, fix or change because everything that is real is already perfect.

When we know this to be truth, even for just an instant, LOVE heals our mind from fear.

Have you ever heard of it?

Has your doctor talked to you about what to do to prevent this contagious disease? 

Let me give you just one example of this disease….

Something troubling or even disasterous happens to you or someone you love.

You begin to think about all the things that happened and how it could have been prevented.  Or you begin to think about why it happened or what if or what you could of done different.  This mind thinking continues until you don’t even know you are doing it.  It becomes part of you life every day even at night while sleeping.  You can’t escape it.  It becomes obscessive and the disease grows out of control…….

Don’t ask why, it creates more and more and more suffering.  You seldom find the answer and it will keep you in pain
and suffering forever.  And the disease continues.

It is your mind that creates the suffering and dis-ease.  Separate from your mind and there is no suffering.  Begin to watch your mind do its thing, thinking, thinking, thinking……the mind is not you.  You are the one watching!!! Become the
watcher or the observer. 

Practice this.  Practice deep breathing every day by yourself for 5 to 10 minutes with absolutely no thought.

We get lost and begin to believe we are the mind and we can go crazy.
