Communicating Your Truth


Communication between all beings is challenging at this time as all begin to come into alignment with their true nature. There may have been times when you were less than forthcoming and honest with those around you and now that imbalance is being corrected.  All are being called into accountability to stand in the truth of their being and to be held accountable for past missteps.

Beginning today, what can you do to “clean up your act” and come from a place of total honesty in all that you do? How will this affect the way you communicate with those around you? Are some things best left unsaid if they are hurtful to another or they serve no constructive purpose? What things might you have said that really are only reflections of your own insecurities or erroneous thought patterns?

How might you rephrase your speech to begin to communicate things that uplift and empower those around you rather than calling them to task for things you do not like? By emphasizing the divine qualities in another, you empower them to personify these very qualities. Since you give energy to the things you observe, wouldn’t it be more constructive to focus on and reinforce things that ennoble others rather than deride them for the ways they fall short of your vision?

If we wish to direct positive behavior, it also helps to model the things we value in others. Since like does attract like, the more Loving we are to those who may not be demonstrating Love themselves, we plant seeds that when nourished will produce astounding results.  Being the change you wish to see in the world begins to take form when we learn to see through God’s eyes rather than the dirty lenses society uses to separate us by emphasizing our differences rather than acknowledging our similarities and common purpose.

Being able to communicate these simple truths and standing tall in your integrity by proclaiming this higher vision may be uncomfortable but necessary if change is to be realized. Your courage to communicate your truth, regardless of the opinions of others will encourage others to do likewise and help begin the process of changing attitudes and therefore reality.

Now this is not to say that all such comments will be welcomed by those who are comfortable in their rut of complacency. How frightening it may be to some who see life only through the keyhole of experience and are unaware of the greater possibilities of the expanded reality you may be proposing. Rather than making others “wrong” you may find it easier to communicate your own experience, especially your early misgivings and how you overcame impediments to grow into greater understanding. The walk on the upward path is less frightening when one can hold the hand of another who has trod the way before and is willing to share their experience. As more and more step in the experience becomes richer and the way more pleasant for all involved.

Truth once shared becomes part of common knowledge. As more contribute their observances and insights, the vision of a common truth emerges which allows all to be part of the process of revelation. It is through the sharing and evaluating and refining the common vision that the greater truth will be revealed that more clearly reflects the common experience. Without the perspective of the collective observances, your truthlet will be a mere drop in the ocean of truth. Be willing to allow other droplets to coalesce until the greater version of truth begins to take form. There will always be other versions of truth seen from a different vantage point that may or may not alter one’s perspective of truth.

If one is rigidly adherent to a version of truth and unable to appreciate the richness of different visions, one will find it difficult to see as God sees life full of the textures and intricacies of diversity in the human experience.  Step back and observe the magnificence…

Overcoming Inertia


When you begin to move into the Light there are many anxious moments as you begin to realize that many of your old beliefs may not necessarily be in sync with what you had assumed to be so.  Many false assumptions are built upon a house of cards with previous erroneous beliefs being the supporting members. When all of the things you believed to be true begin to crumble around you, how do you find the solid ground you require to begin again on a firmer foundation?

We might suggest that you begin with the only thing that is inconvertibly true which is God, which is Love. If something is not based upon a Loving intention then it can only be illusionary. How many of the things in your life fail to measure up to this simple test of authenticity? Those that are based upon anything but a Loving premise are not real because they do not reflect a Loving God and are destined to disappoint and crumble under pressure in the future. Can something be founded upon Loving intent but fail to measure up because of the people involved – certainly. The element of free-will is always at work and it behooves you to scrutinize the participants of any venture as well as the ideals upon which is based.

There is also the aspect of timing. Many a good idea has failed to “catch on” due to the effect that customers may not be ready to accept the new mindset that is necessary to use something that is essentially good in nature. In order for people to switch their thinking and their lifestyle, they have to believe that any costs or risks are greatly outweighed in comparison to the present. Just comparable is not good enough to override the trappings of the status quo. Change requires effort and if nothing is perceived to be worth the effort, change will not happen.

This is what is happening on spiritual realms as well. If one sees no value in switching beliefs and exploring greater possibilities, nothing is going to change that belief system. It will take a monumental shift, either imposed or voluntary before inertia can be overcome. Do we have to reach a doomsday scenario before those placid participants become motivated enough to seek higher, safer ground? If one can see that the old is not working as desired, it stands to reason that only by doing things differently will you obtain different results. There comes a point where Band-aids on the problem are no longer acceptable and all would be well served to stand back and see what the greater ramifications of the process at hand are before making another assault upon the same area of play.

The game of life is not that much different from those on the field. It takes skill, daring, and guts to pull off an event that will not be anticipated and blocked by the opponent. Perhaps that is what is lacking in competitive activities. There is no common approach for working together to find new ways of solving problems of mutual interest. We have been told that we all have all we need to achieve our fondest dreams if only we are willing to put aside the illusions of separation and pool our ideas and resources in pursuit of a common goal. When energy is redirected from finding ways of disabling the opposition and instead working together in pursuit of excellence of all individuals as participants in the universal puzzle solving, the tools will have come into form that will facilitate ascension. Since all are trying to get through the same doorway, there are many different ways of being and working/playing together if we honor and appreciate the diverse ways we have of being in the field of life.

Begin to step back from the events in your life and “brainstorm” with your neighbor to see if there is not a better way to co-create a more evolved process of life together.  If things are not working to our satisfaction, that is likely to continue to be the case until all parties are willing to put aside the ego barriers and find ways of sharing in the solutions for tomorrow’s world. All is not as it seems and the more eyes you have looking at a situation, the higher the likelihood that some of them are attached to a soul who hears the voice of God whispering a new play to be brought into the game. It is in the stillness and the peace of thoughtful moments that the folly of our actions is realized and the possibilities for creating a more evolved world will emerge. Shhhh…Listen…
