Truth is such a noble word, almost sacred. Often we hear an expression such as 'It's the God's truth that such and such occurred.'

[[Truth]] is such a [[noble]] word, almost [[sacred]]. Often we hear an [[expression]] such as 'It's the God's truth that such and such occurred.'

How do we know "the truth" is indeed of God? We know this by an interconnection between our minds and our hearts.

How do we know "the truth" is indeed of [[God]]? We know this by an interconnection between our [[minds]] and our [[hearts]].

Another expression we say is: 'This rings true in my heart.' Indeed, it is as if the silent bell within our hearts reverberates when we experience truthfulness. Let yourselves trust in your capacity to know truth from this mind-heart connection.

Many times those greatest truths are not substantiated by what we call 'the facts.' Instead, the substantiation for our beliefin a truth comes from the integrity with which we are drawn to accept it by our minds and hearts joined. Questions of the truthfulness of a concept need to be individualized -- connected to the unique personality which conceives it. The truthfulness of a concept is best determined not by the human mind alone.

Many times those greatest [[truths]] are not substantiated by what we call 'the [[facts]].' Instead, the substantiation for our [[belief]] in a [[truth]] comes from the [[integrity]] with which we are drawn to [[accept]] it by our minds and hearts joined. Questions of the truthfulness of a concept need to be [[individualized]] -- connected to the unique [[personality]] which conceives it. The truthfulness of a concept is best determined not by the human [[mind]] alone.

But when I speak of the heart connection, I speak of the Thought Adjuster, the input, the clarity, the wisdom of God operating with your mind to understand the truth. Therefore, rest your faith in the truthfulness of a concept on this strong foundation of God's guidance.

Facts can be deceiving. Your perceptions can be so clouded because of the animal nature that remains within you, the delusions of the ego, which draws you, pulls you away from truth. Deception from the ego will cause you to say: 'My heart tells me this, but my mind cannot accept it.' When you find yourself in such a quandary, turn back to quiet contemplation. Recognize that you are not ready to decipher truthfulness at that time. Any time the conflicts exists between the heart and your mind, that is the telling point that you need to turn your attention inward to the quiet contemplation of guidance from God.

You can always [[trust]] that your supplication, your [[prayer]], for this [[assistance]] will be heard.
