The Freedom of Truth
“And you will know the truth, and that very truth will make you free.” James 8:32
We think we know the Truth, don’t we? According to the Word Finder Truth is: facts, reliability, authenticity, trustworthiness, fidelity, integrity, accuracy to mention seven points of quality. The word ‘truth’ is mentioned 40 times in the Bible. One would think with that number of mentions ‘truth’ must be an important quality of our life; every part of our life. Personal, business, public and worldly.
In the New Testament, John must have been impressed as to the importance of ‘Truth’ to be learned from the teaching of the Master Jesus. The book of John has the word ‘truth’ approximately 23 times; quoting Jesus and associated with Him. In this particular verse Jesus was speaking to a critical and judging mob. In response Jesus identifying himself with Deity. John 8:12, 10:11, 8:56, 5:46, 5:39, 5:37, 5:36, 15:24, & 8:24. The event was also mentioned in Matthew and Luke but only once each.
We bring these rather academic points up to illustrate how important ‘truth’ was then and is now. It is also important to know that Jesus never said he was God but he was of God, His Father and ours.
Now, I hear someone interrupting that we are saying here, that we are of deity. Please don’t. We were made, as all humans, in the “Image and Likeness”. And we too can achieve Christ Consciousness. Further “With God” all is possible, only when it is in the highest consciousness with God. We are guided to live within the highest principles, all those principles given by the Word Finder of Truth. And we are urged to remember that God is Love; therefore our core nature is the same, Love.
To quote from Jesus speaking in Glenda Green’s book “The Keys of Jeshua, Chapter 18, page 229: “Regardless of your experiences, your true being has always been Love. You cannot know yourself as anything else. You must discover that truth again for yourself, and stop running from it. That is the actual meaning-and the occurrence-of repentance. Once you have gained that basic restoration, all your experiences can become valuable and meaningful. At last, you may know that your will is truly free and your choices are potent. What you choose for your life makes a difference in the whole of existence-not just for yourself!”
Rather a different meaning of repentance, is it not? Just think about this and other points that we or any other person hear or read presented and prove the Truth for yourself always.
Discovering yourself in the Light of Truth and ‘stop running from it’. No one else can discover the Truth of who you are. We are each, at our core, Love. And yes, there are those who may not recognize this Truth but, non the less, it is the Truth for everyone.
Remember always, as well, that we each have the gift of discernment and every new Idea presented here or anywhere needs individual proving, it is to be tested by each individual. It will bring to you a degree of expansion beyond your wildest dreams.
Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. once sad the “A mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions.” and also he is quoted as saying, “Many ideas grow better when transplanted into another mind than in the one where they sprang up.”
The information and thoughts presented here in our little ‘Cybernetic Church’ are gratefully presented with precisely those intentions.
So are the Vibrant Thoughts for each day are meant to be a stretch, ever so little or big just as our Lesson for the Week. When digested, Meditated upon, we trust that minds will be stretched and new ideas will grow. Further that they will bring abundant love, joy and happiness to all who participate with us. May we all express a brighter light in the world because of His bounty. Be Happy! Be the Light and Love you ARE.
It is with deep Gratitude for this opportunity to share my thoughts and learn with you the Power of The Freedom of Truth.
Let us share also the Light Bearers:
(Translated from the Ancient Mystery Schools of the Essene)
Men of the Earth, Brothers in Eternity, shake your souls Awake.
The hour so long waited for, the promised hour has come.
Over the dark firmament of suffering humanity is rising the morning star.
Heralding the day that you will understand that mans most sacred duty is to be man.
That is, to manifest life, intelligence, truth and love.
There is no higher aim, no vaster problem.
And you who realize this will break the fetters with which ignorance and fear
have bound unconscious humanity,
and will stand up free and know yourselves to be the eternal manifestation
of the un-manifest.
Witness of the absolute, sons of the great ALL
whom you call God.
