Truth

What is your "truth"? What is mine?

Is there a "truth" upon which we both can agree? Perhaps we will find a formless "Truth" which we both believe is true.

Each one perceives according to what he/she believes. Each one believes according to what he/she conceives. Our conceptions come from learning, programming, habits, history and the great mystery of life. Each one sees the world and everything in it differently.

So how can we ever agree? To argue is futile. Arguing is asking the other to give up. Arguing invites loss for the loser. Arguing tells you that you are wrong, faulty and mistaken. Arguing says you don't know and I do know what is true.

The best we can do is to say what is true for us. The best we can do is to invite the other to see through our filters of judgment, fear and learned values. The best we can do is to ask what is true for the other. The best we can do is to request understanding the other's point of view by gathering more information. The best we can do is to choose peace and understanding. The best we can do is to know we see only one piece of the hologram. The best we can do is to relinquish winning the disagreement. The best we can do is to seek what is for the highest good where no one loses. The best we can do is to focus on unity and where we agree. The best we can do is to accept peace without conflict. The best we can do is to choose joy and not pain and love without fear.

When we choose for what we really value…. To forgive and let go. To listen and learn. To love and unite. To bless and prosper.

The Truth dawns on us. The Truth is not form or function. It is not substance or winning. The Truth is experience and presence. The Truth is what is real beneath all rhetoric, argument, judging and fear. Truth is the choice for what is truly valued.

Loving you in knowing and having Truth as you know it, Betty Lue
