===='''''[[Truth]]'''''====

The lesson for this evening is on [[truth]]. "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 has occurred." 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 [[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 you are not ready to [[decipher]] truthfulness at that time.

Any time the [[conflict]] exists between your [[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]]. If you [[trust]] this [[process]] of seeking the [[truth]] with the [[mind]] and the [[heart]] joined, you will be in safe hands. You will be lead by God to the [[understanding]] that your particular [[soul]], on it's particular, unique, [[path]], travels [toward.] Imagine, then, this image. See yourself as reaching out to grasp the hand of God--[[the Father]], [[Mother Spirit|the Mother]], the Protector, the Guide. Say, "Lead me to [[truth]]. I beseech you." You can always [[trust]] that your supplication, your [[prayer]] for this [[assistance]], will be heard.
