Discovering Answers, The Living Spirit

What is truth?

My Sufi friend Hazrat Inayat Khan says:
"Truth is that which can not be spoken."

and, "The all-important work in life is the attainment of God. God cannot be explained. Any attempt to do this always ends in failure."

It really sums up what I've been experiencing lately. This feeling that, everyone has an opinion, and everyone has enough opinions for more than themselves. Everyone is following their Heart, and it is not wrong to do so. Even if our Heart leads us to a disappointing reality, it was a necessary step for the individual in order to evolve.

-I truly believe that.

I believe we are here to experience, discover and all of *that* is an intimate journey with none other save God. This is what I have chosen to believe.

We, as Ego's or so called 'unique expressions'

We don't want others to tell us what's what, we want to experience for ourselves! This is totally normal, correct... But we find that in our *resistance* we learn what is *not truth.*

How do we resist? Well, does not everyone have an opinion about certain political figures? About certain issues- climate, gender, race, poverty? Does not everyone have an opinion about God? Religions, no religion, etc.? Does not everyone have an opinion about the best way to live life? About, what really constitutes a Soul?

We resist because we live in a land where everything has its opposite. It appears there is always something out there ready to affirm our notions, and there are concepts ready to defy them equally so. My boss often says two things can be true at the same time. I understand what she means.

Though it's 2024 I think we are still quite dogmatic and passionate. Even people who only believe in science can become dogmatic. The truth is there is always a discovery or realization to be made. My Cousin who rejects the notion of God at times displays more "god-like" attributes than my other family member who refuses to celebrate in certain get togethers because she calls it pagan worship. I am not here to attack her religious beliefs. I am only stating that I have experienced great dejection from someone who is taught love is all important. I have to remember who I am in the moments dogma or fervor penetrate an environment.

A great tragedy in life is feeling like we can not share because others are here to condemn, ridicule or just can not relate to our discoveries. But there is also a great compassion that comes from not attempting to convince anyone, by realizing these experiences and conclusions are uniquely ours and meant to aid us in our life journey. It takes practice, we are so passionate about what we think we know.

So what is truth?

We learn truth not by words- but we experience it. We can share truth in simple manner. Like, giving someone water on a hot day. Taking out the trash for our elders after they've been complaining about one too many house chores. Tending to our plants that need TLC. We know truth by those actions far greater than what any intellectual debate can produce. Far greater than sharing some of the greatest psychic and interdimensional mysteries we've been fortunate to taste.

When we to stop arguing- stop resisting, we allow others their expression and we share the truth in ways we know how. Giving a hug to a friend in need, having a zoom call and allowing someone to share themselves in the moment. Simple things- and how often do we forget? We are constantly forgetting. I think this realization is one of the most difficult to live by among fellow adults where all of us seem set in our ways. But it's something we should strive to remember if we care to share and live in Peace.

The Father is the Thought, the Son is the Word, the Spirit is the Action, and Jesus is the Way. That is the Truth and anyone who can't take the heat can get out of the kitchen, because the UB is cookin'!

We learn truth not by words- but we experience it.

While not totally false, not totally true either.

Early in my journeys I came across "astral travellers" or folks doing forced OBE. The stories one fellow told me made my hair curl, and so I asked for an explanation as to how the universe could be like that. The answer was interesting. Just as you can go OBE into the astral, you can go OBE into YOUR MIND. And all these folks claiming that this is that because they had witnessed it, had done nothing of the sort. Because NONE of them were aware you can travel in your mind, and its all fantasy. And there is a large number of people of the very firm opinion that if they have not personally experienced XYZ, then for them, it does not exist. And if they have, its the Truth. But that's not true always.

In my somewhat revolving/evolving opinion, based on information as it has been presented to me-

I am understanding that you are real. You and your relationship with the indwelling spirit many of us call God. The extent, range, width, breadth and depth of that relationship- no one can tell you what it is. But I believe the only relationship is with One God, present in all things- known and unknown.

A little bit of the UBook opened me up to this idea of incarnating on other worlds- none of which deviates from my personal feeling that, this life is establishing our relationship with the One. We are often forgetful of that relationship, and that's Okay. I think that's kind of the point.

A wise lady told me yesterday... "Once an adult twice a child." I never heard that expression before. But we come into this world with limited faculties, we mature and become adults, but we grow old and revert back to limited abilities and then our bodies are returned to this Host planet who was gracious enough to allow us our temporary stay.

In her opinion(this woman I met yesterday), she was trying to tell me that this means God does not have us here to figure out all the answers. I can't disagree with her. It seems everyone boils reality down to a personal choice. Am I Loving others? Am I trying my best? Am I Loving and Honoring my Self? And no one else should really tell us how to do that, we might think ourselves helpful- but I've seen it that their intentions are to satisfy their own desires. And when they are not met in the manner expected, a real test of Faith is employed and the lessons start to reign in.

Still, desires are the catalyst and momentum bringing us back to discover, to Re-Discover. To Learning and Un-Learning. To strengthening our relationship with none other save God.

Even the astral projectors in the field of their mind, whatever they have experienced and decided is Real- Then it is. Even if someone else comes along and says, I'm sorry- that is not real. That's true too.

I think as we evolve and incarnate into different bodies, light bodies, we begin to understand or actualize the full extent of the relationship with SOURCE, One God- ALL.

Still, we have the opportunity NOW- and everything outside of us, is a opportunity to interact with God. Is an opportunity to Learn. Is an opportunity to forge our relationship in the manner we see fit. And I'm okay with someone else living life in the manner they see fit, even if it's not for me.

I think even now we can experience lighter bodies, experience our relationship with personalities incarnate on other worlds, experience phenomenon not ordinarily ascribed to the human faculties. All that matters is our choices.

Lately I think of the Synchronicities as moments to explore my own Religion. If I choose to see the synchronicities as the Universe(whatever that personality/Spirit IS) as interacting with me personally, allowing me a special relationship with IT- then I am attempting to recognize the whispers and follow the cues. Dance with Spirit.

The Living Spirit.

Answers come, and answers change, and I am here now to enjoy my Dance and build the temple within so at my passing, I can find comfort in the relationship with the Guiding Force I've seen not as an individualized entity but as present in all things.

It isn't always easy, it can be brutal- humiliating, and it can be the most profound joyful thing I've ever experienced.

In her opinion (this woman I met yesterday), she was trying to tell me that this means God does not have us here to figure out all the answers.

We are, in my opinion here to learn ONLY one lesson.

Love is always the answer.

Sadly few learn that, in fact the majority in the commercialised world would absolutely deny that, and the fact that as a planet we continue wars upon more wars proves that. Yes I know this is because of the Matrix, but the majority of mankind has not seen through that deception.

Even the astral projectors in the field of their mind, whatever they have experienced and decided is Real- Then it is. Even if someone else comes along and says, I'm sorry- that is not real. That's true too.

There is an accepted understanding that TRUE reality is sharable. There are endless untrue "realities". All you have to do is observe that people see what they want to see. That is deception, of the unawakened. My objective is to see beyond all deception.

Technically our teachers explain that NOTHING in time/space is real in their terms. Only the unchangeable - therefor eternal - is real. But for example we know there is a continent called Australia. Its a shared reality. But the moment we start to describe it, the problems start.
