The mind and intention behind your words has power.
What you speak is powerful, IF you are speaking words of truth.
Sometimes people will say something like, "I'm worried that..." or "try not to...." or "be careful because you might...." etc. These...
There can't be three different truths. They would all be conflicting. Only one of them can be the real truth.
Whatever the truth is, you do not get to decide what it is. It is what it is, and it has...
Doing unto others as you would have them do unto you, isn't really optional. It's not something you can choose not to do, and it isn't something to aspire to. But that's how it's often viewed.
There is a metaphysical truth...
There's the truth, and then there's trying to decide on your own what the truth is.
The truth really can only be surrendered to and accepted, not made.
In your attempt to learn the truth, you will divert away from the truth...
When you are in a mindset that tries to make the world real, it is a mindset of attempting to "make true" what is not really true.
It's the mindset of a seeker, or someone who is in denial of reality...
There are aspects of the Truth that are just so mind-blowing in how they completely fly in the face of conventional truth. It's like, what they claim is so opposite to what we've been raised to believe, that it just...
The truth is an experience, not information. It is not metaphysics.
So as you approach the truth, it's going to be less and less possible to just expose yourself to written truths or concepts of truth and believe that they're actually...
If their ego is strong, or they are afraid, sharing the truth with them may be grossly misinterpreted.
Your belief in the truth is admirable. Your conviction and faith in it is well placed. And you wish therefore that everyone...
There is no questioning the truth. There is only One truth and it's God's truth. Opinions are irrelevant.
The truth is factual. It is reality. To question it is to be in denial and confused.
Either you accept the truth or you...
From "Sickness is a defense against the truth", Lesson 136:
"No one can heal unless he understands what purpose sickness seems to serve. For then he understands as well its purpose has no meaning. Being causeless and without a meaningful intent...
"Who but yourself evaluates a threat, decides escape is necessary, and sets up a series of defenses to reduce the threat that has been judged as real? All this cannot be done unconsciously. But afterwards, your plan requires that you...
Without that, every conclusion you make and every meaning you derive will be a bit 'off', because you don't have something to properly contrast it against.
The trouble with trying to 'wake up' from spiritual unconsciousness, is that you're pretty much...
We continually look for meaning outside of ourselves. We look for salvation outside of ourselves. We look for ourselves outside of ourselves. We look for love outside of ourselves. We look for happiness outside of ourselves.
And we do not find...
A major mistake I keep making, or at least am starting to notice I'm making, is trying to find answers in the world.
Jesus is often hinting to me that I'm doing something wrong when I do this.
I'll be lost in...
Sickness is not truth.
Even if it seems to be true that someone is sick, even if there is evidence for it, or explanations that describe why it is occurring. It is still not the truth.
Even if there are trained medical...
The happy truth behind every seeming disasterous illusion in this world, is that nothing has gone wrong at all and we are still with God.
The happy truth is also that it is actually possible to be immortal, as spirit, and...
When you think of guidance you think of you being separate from the source of guidance - God, and attempting to receive some kind of communication. You hope at first to get any kind of communication at all, and later...
The seeming battle going on is really between what is true and what is false.
What is true is Holy Spirit's reality. It is all based on truth. Truth means, it is actually real. Factual reality. Perfect honesty and clarity. A...
If someone you know is identified with the ego, they actually believe that the ego is their 'self'. Whether it's that the ego is being vicious or guilty or angry or fearful or playing a victim or whatever, the person...
Know this. It is not possible to objectively and neutrally try to determine what the truth is, using the ego, without avoiding the truth.
There is no 'innocently seeking for the answer'. There is no mode that you can be in...
