How complicated we make living the Truth! Many of us believe that our Truth is our belief. But our beliefs change over the years, have you noticed? Have you also noticed that there is a state of being inside that lets you know if you are living your Truth; a state of being that seems unchanging regardless of what new beliefs or social conditioning you embrace? If you are familiar with Abraham – Hicks, you know that Source speaks of this often. They call it your emotional guidance system. This morning, while reading a wonderful novel called El Min, by D L Roberts, the topic of truth itself was simply and eloquently addressed by one of the main characters, a priestess named Aleana. I ‘d like to share it with you. While speaking to a Temple servant in the land of Atlantis, she states “It is not bravery to speak the truth.. One must always speak the truth for life to flow smoothly. Simply choose to be the person you know on the inside. The highest being, the truest Self, the Truth of your truth. When you choose this consistently you will always be aware when you are not being your True Self. It takes practice and determination, but it is how I believe we should all live. A lifetime of traditions and cultural ideals may have covered up your truth, but you can choose to uncover your Self and you will flow through the rest of your life with confidence and ease.”
I can’t help but wonder what kind of world we would live in if each of us could follow this simple guideline.

It is amazingly simple, isn’t it? And yet so hard to follow through on. Do you suppose she is talking aobut the quiet little “white” lies we tell (I like your haircut or your new shoes look great) or the lies of omission or of fact that can and do get us in trouble?

I think she is talking about being in alignment with our true feelings as we speak and act through-out the day. There was a recent movie called ” The Good Lie” with Reese Witherspoon that makes a beautiful point in showing the blessing of withholding the idea of a rigid truth sometimes. There is also the example of Mrs. Takata who fabricated stories of Dr. Usui so that Reiki, this beautiful energy of light and Love, would be accepted in the western world. And then there’s Paul Simon, the musician, who wrote a most beautiful bluesy song many years ago called “Tenderness” in which the chorus line goes “honesty–oh honesty, it’s such a waste of energy. You don’t have to lie to me just show me some tenderness beneath your honesty” All this to say that I feel the volition behind the words maybe as, or more important, than the “truthful ” words themselves. As I am writing this I’m beginning to see that perhaps a truthful “feeling” is what we want to express.
