What is truth?  Is there really a universal truth?

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.

I Love and Accept Myself exactly as I AM! 

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.

Enlightenment Is The Ultimate Maturity

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.

When we can be the objective observer of our life, we become free.

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.

Remember that there are no problems, there is no death, and there are no diseases, illness, or injuries.

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.

What is the mind disease that seems to be an epidemic in the world?

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…….

Have you ever been at a crossroad and were unsure of which direction to take?

Your gut may say one thing…..and then your mind keeps telling you another.  Which do you follow?

I was at the crossroad last summer and wondered which direction????  I felt strongly that I should step back, stop what I was doing and see what happens.  So I did….I stopped blogging, tweeting, facebooking, etc.. I was in a resting place. 

I really didn’t know why or what or who or how…I was to follow my inner guidance.  And as you all know, life can get in the way and the guidance system is sometimes hard to hear.  Maybe I needed to brush off the dust and cobwebs off the system so I could hear more clearly the inner wisdom.

Maybe I needed to take a rest, to be quiet to be able to hear where I was to go next.

What else can our mind do to our body?

If you are in a dangerous situation what happens to you, how do you feel? For example think of a time when you almost had a car accident and in a split second you were safe. What happened to your body, your breathing? Your muscles tense, your heart races and beats faster, and your breathing is fast.

This is your body’s natural instinct to react with this fear. This is instinct. Emotions now are similar but different. They are your body’s response to a thought. So for example you are begin to worry about your daughter who hasn’t come home and you begin to think about the freeway she is driving on and then imagine a horrible accident. Your heart beats faster, your muscles are tense and your breathing is faster.

FEAR FEAR FEAR…………………

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?

Isn’t science wonderful?! 

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.
