Question #4:  Here is a question about a more direct path to truth:  I know there are many paths to the top of the mountain.  I have been on a lot of them, some with dead ends and sharp rocks, potholes and brush, and some impassable.  There are gurus galore, a plethora of preachers, massive amounts of ministers, tons of teachers.  Some call themselves Melchizedeks channeling different teachers with all kinds of conflicting and confusing teachings.  Is there any way to avoid so much exercise to provide ourselves the pearl of truth without so much debris around it?

Monjoronson:  I am charmed by your description and find your phraseology delightful.  As you have recited that there are many paths to the top of the mountain implying the mountain of truth, I must draw your attention that it is not at the apex that truth is found but found at all times at every point on the mountain. This is why you have the wide range of wisdom.

Truth is an encounter; it is not a verbal description of reality, of what is.  It is a living interface with reality, a conscious engagement, an energetic entanglement.  How you can dispense with all the confusing forms, descriptions, and paths is to simply stand in your own shoes and realize.  Of course the pondering philosopher would say, “I am not interested in my truth; I want all truth,” and begin again the desire to ascend to the apex of the mountain. But all truth contains every single truth.  To discard your truth at your present level of unfoldment is to discount a valuable element of all truth.

[[Truth]] is an encounter; it is not a verbal description of [[reality]], of what is.  It is a living [[interface]] with [[reality]], a [[conscious]] engagement, an [[energetic]] [[entanglement]].  How you can dispense with all the confusing [[forms]], descriptions, and paths is to simply stand in your own shoes and [[realize]].  Of course the pondering [[philosopher]] would say, “I am not interested in my [[truth]]; I want all truth,” and begin again the [[desire]] to [[ascend]] to the apex of the mountain.

The living of all truth is occurring throughout the entire universe; the living of each truth is occurring in each creature.  You do not need as a single personality all truth to be truth.  Every flame within a forest fire is burning; no one single flame is the entire fire, but each one is nonetheless performing the same function.  There are those who, if I may use your expressions, “hang their shingle” and teach a way to truth, and we accept these personalities so inspired to do so.  But they are a presentation that is orchestrated and perhaps contrived in the sense that it is organized in its presentation, not in the sense that it is trickery or deception.  But everyone of you are doing the same thing when you comprehend truth, that is, engage in the living experience of truth and then manifest your comprehension of that experience to others.  All these sharings are subsequent expressions of an encounter with truth; they are not the truth itself.

I will use one more image before we [[Procession|proceed]] to the next question.  As your [[earth]] rotates the [[sun]] takes an appearance of moving around the world.  In the segment of this rotation wherein the sun shines its [[light]] upon your planet you have daylight.  Some [[individuals]] are experiencing daylight at dawn, others at noon, and others near dusk.  It is still daylight, and that is what the experience of [[truth]] is to the [[personality]]. Let us continue.
