Truth real truth

Truth and how we know

But how do you know that it’s true…………………………..…………………for countless generations teachers have…………………………their spiritual visions, real explorations by, and through, physical and spiritual senses untrammeled by blind flesh, were systematically checked and compared one with the other, and their nature sifted.
.
All that was not corroborated by unanimous and collective experience was rejected, while that only was recorded as established truth, which, in various ages, under different climes, and throughout an untold series of incessant observations, was found to agree and receive constantly further corroboration.
.
The methods used by our scholars and students of the psycho-spiritual sciences do not differ from those of students of the natural and physical sciences.

Only our fields of research are on two different planes, and our instruments are made by no human hands, for which reason perchance they are only the more reliable.

The retorts, accumulators, and microscopes of the chemist and naturalist may get out of order; the telescope and the astronomer's horological instruments may get spoiled; our recording instruments are beyond the influence of weather or the elements.

HPB, KEY 86-87

The above is written in answer to questions about truth.

Today's humans might find this peculiar because most do not know that yes there are beings who have transcended time and space and so have been able to establish the truth of things

Absolute objective truth.

So fast

One third of the year almost gone

Just flew by

Few memories

Memories are different today

They have to be consciously looked for

They don't stay

This being so focus on today

Make every day special

.

So fast

.

And the machine above?

.

Just a machine that can measure fast

Life is too short

To worry about things

Worrying is definitely bad for your health

So don't shorten your life by endless worrying

Life is too short

So why do we worry?

Because we let thoughts come in and out of our minds as they will

Unchecked

Uncontrolled

Decide to control these thoughts

It will help you stop worrying

.

How to control thoughts?

.

Meditation

.

Yup meditation that is the best way

.

Endless diversions don't do it

.

Nor does shopping

.

Nor eating

.

Just controlling the mind does it

.

That's all

Stealing

It's a bit like rape in a way

A personal violation

Intimate intrusion

Totally selfish

Nasty

Unpleasant

And that's just what you can say about it

There is also the feeling of anger

The desire to confront

To challenge

To punish

Hurt even

.

Have revenge

Try another perception of it

Imagine that there are no accidents

Apart from any carelessness or forgetfulness involved

Leave these obvious rationalizations aside

Take it that there was a reason

A personal something for you to learn, to think about

Do it next time someone steals from you

Think about your life

Your behaviour

Somewhere in there is something you need to adjust

Change, modify

Look for it

Surely beats anger over something that has already happened

Let go

Think.

Feelings change

Feelings change

They change as we change

.

As we grow

Often the other person is just the same

It is us who has changed

We did not notice that we had changed

It does tell us something though

When we think somebody else has changed just check it isn't you

.

And if you have changed do not be afraid to move on

.

Be honest to your feelings

.

Feelings change

Mind destroys feelings

Say some

Does that ring true for you?

Have you ever thought about something like that

Try it

Mind used in the way we do destroys feelings

Do you let your feelings rule

Or do you override your feelings

With logic

Rationalizations

How do you live your life

If through your mind then watch out

Your mind might well be destroying your feelings

Always analyzing things

From the structure of your prejudices that is

A balance between the two is healthy

If you only use the one then there is not that balance we need to make good choices in life

Observe are you too much into feelings?

Or too much into mind?

Mend the balance

Find harmony between the two.

Reality check

Reality is something that many of us assume is what we observe and experience

Not so

Check this out

Ask any friend of the opposite sex to walk down a street with you

At the end of the street ask them what they saw

Subtle and big differences will be observed

Differing realities

And that is only regarding physical objects

Take any news cast and ask them what they heard and saw

Ask them what they think about it

Again many differences

Different realities

We live in a society that likes to pretend that we can all understand things in the same way

We look a the same pictures, scenes, and so on

However this is not the same as having the same experience

True reality is deeper

It is not something that we all share

We have differing realities

So what is true reality?

It is something that we can only experience once we know ourselves

Once we are able to know the truth about ourselves

Then we can know the truth about reality

True reality is known to few of us

Determine to move towards true reality it is so much more powerful than illusion

Divorce pressure

The culture you live in exerts a strong influence on you and your choices.

In most societies the older generation tend to be more conservative and this is always more so where the education level is not so high.

Divorce in some societies is considered a bad thing whatever the situation and in such societies pressure is brought to bear

Older women often live by old rules, which today have little to do with modern reality and are more about what other people might think about "them" rather than the couple involved

What other people might think is sadly more important to many than the issues involved in the marriage

In other words their comments or position is not about what is best for the daughter or son but more about what other people might think or say

In such a situation for you can continue as you are accepting the pressure or advice not to divorce

If you allow others to dictate your decision then this is a choice you make

Be aware though your life is yours to decide

It might appear that you have no choice however there are always choices

Decide for yourself if you are going to accept pressure

Pressure that can ruin your life

Your call

Really

It is not just a question of not liking each other

We just do not gel.

Is it hard for some people to understand this?

Be clear people

All of us sometimes meet people with whom there is a zero chemistry fit.

Walk away

Avoid each other

There is no point in trying it will not work

Nothing good or bad about this

It is just the way it is

Walk away

Night signs

Are different from day signs

More signs come through the ear

Our sight catches danger

Notices shadows

Movement

How are your night signs?

Take a walk and see

Night signs are so different

Learn yours.

What are you looking for?

If you do not know then how do you hope to find it?

Is there one of us that does not feel that life ought to be more?

Should have some sensible meaning

Make sense

Explain the cruelty

The corruption

The way evil is so open

How nothing seems to change

Here’s the secret

There is meaning

There is sense

It does explain the nonsense

The ego games

The evil

However the rule is that we each have to search for this ourselves

No one may climb the mountain for you

No one way give you an answer

Help yes

Hints yes

You must do the work

Then you can find

Then it makes sense

Yes it exists

Time you started looking

Still waiting for someone to give you the answers?

Then for sure the feeling that life should offer more will persist

You have to look for yourself

Start now

Where to start?

How about seeing what our smart ancestors found?

What did they leave for us?

Where did they leave it?

Saying it

With meaning

*

For you it might be a small thing

*

For them it might be a big thing

*

Who knows where their life will take them?

*

What those memories might do to change their lives

*

One day it might be important that the memories be good

*

So often we fail to understand how the little things, to us that is

*

Can be big things to others

*

Just say what you say to them with meaning and affection

*

Who knows what it might bring to others one day?

Mmmmm - 40

Mind

It is universal and whether the person is aware or not of what is going on.

Very few are able to perceive it in themselves, but that makes no difference.

It is done always.

When you sit down to earnestly think on a philosophical or ethical matter, for instance, your mind flies off, touching other minds, and from them you get varieties of thought.

If you are not well-balanced and psychically purified, you will often get thoughts that are not correct.

Such is your Karma and the Karma of the race.

But if you are sincere and try to base yourself on right philosophy, your mind will naturally reject wrong notions.

You can see in this how it is that systems of thought are made and kept going, even though foolish, incorrect, or pernicious.

WQJ

All you have

Is your personal identity

What you tell yourself about yourself

This is all you have

The rest, the toys, the objects, the things you own are just dressing

So understand this if you lose your self respect

You are in deep trouble

Because as we say this is all we have

This is what defines us

Which is why we go on about knowing ourselves

If you know yourself

You are on the way to finding peace of mind

And peace of mind is what we all want

Without peace of mind life is tougher

The bad thoughts, jealousy, and wrong behaviour stays with you too.

No church may forgive you

No priest may

No friend or partner may

No-one but yourself

Learn yourself

It's truly all you have

Are you happy with yourself?

Seven blunders of the world

1. Wealth without work

2. Pleasure without conscience

3. Knowledge without character

4. Commerce without morality

5. Science without humanity

6. Worship without sacrifice

7. Politics without principle

—Mahatma Gandhi

The way back

Many many do not make it.

Many become alcoholics.

Many drug addicted.

Many addicted to both.

Until you have been there it is easy to be critical

It's a pattern where those you used imbibe with will encourage you to continue

You resist, and then succumb

Just one more time.

Just this once.

It is never easy because the power of the call is still there.

Then on to near disaster

Pulling back once more

So how do some make it back then?

A desire to change.

An instinctual feeling that it is going too far.

Then some outside help.

But most important there must be a reason, a real reason.

Without a strong reason it is so hard.

And the reason?

Health to the end of your life, not wanting to be a vegetable or experience a total breakdown of the system, which is increasingly under strain.

Or having children who you realise have been left on the side while you abused yourself

Who finally you want to help grow without your addictions.

A partner perhaps who stood by you.

To who you now listen and finally understand.

Putting a structure in your life.

A discipline

Regular days

Working again.

Staying away from those who still use.

Slowly, slowly life comes back

Noticing things again, flowers, nature, smells, feelings.

The love that was around us all the time is yours again.

Love grows

If we choose to make it grow

If we are ready to work at it

Love is unconditional

Can only be unconditional

Let fear in and it becomes a conditional transaction

One that must break with time

The usual kind is like that breaking with time

Love grows though when we have courage

Courage to first face ourselves

To work on healing ourselves

Getting rid of our fears

Then and only then can we help each other

Open ourselves to each other

Open to love

Then love can grow

Grow beyond our dreams

To sustain, support, guide and nourish us

May you choose to make your love grow

Slaking your thirst

With sex

With drugs of choice

With virtual thrills

With power games

All common pastimes in our fast moving world

And all gratify our physical senses

Just that and no more

Meaning that the thirst must return again and again

Over time the pleasures wear off

The effort hardly seems worth it.

Nothing really does it for you anymore

Many keep on because they have nothing else to look forward to.

Just the physical pleasures

For those that look further there are other options

Options that do not wear off with time

Do not get repetitive

They are those that take us from the physical to the mental and beyond mind

Bored with sex?

Drunk enough?

Snorted too much?

Try moving on.

Throughout history a minority of men and women have moved on

And you?

Are you going to move on?

Night people

All of us stay up late sometimes

Special feeling

However night people are different

Sleeping in the day

Getting up at the end of the afternoon

Starting their day as others come home

Eating breakfast in the afternoon

Off to work

Quieter work place day people gone home

Unless you work in the entertainment business

Then it's the world of co-workers serving the public

Maybe it's guarding something

Maybe in sorting stuff for the day people

Whatever it is

A feeling of the world sleeping, being in a different space

Aware that the city sleeps

Easy driving, moving around

People who have chosen or accepted like you to live at night

Being quieter

Less pushing and shoving

Finishing work going home nothing much stirring or maybe things are waking up

Time to eat something unwind with TV

Going to bed, feeling nicely tired

Let the day people look after things for a while

Yes night people are different

Dying

No one prepares us for people dying

Not in our modern world anyway

Funny really because it is hard to watch any TV film, news, video game anything really without seeing death

Lots of death

Every day on most channels death, murder, killing day in day out

Never in history has so much death been thrown at us

Yet when real life death comes our way we are somehow unprepared

Not knowing how to handle it

If the idea of death is a finality for you

A black hole

The end

Finita la musica

All over

Then yes this is tough

If on the other hand you believe in reincarnation as over half the world do then death is different

A transition

A movement from one state to another

Rest and assimilation before another life

So take time to understand what death is for you

Not what your parents believe

Not what your friends say

Not what the church says

Examine this inevitable occurrence for your self

We are all going there

So are all your friends

All your family

So it's worth understanding what this is for you

Because then your handling of the death of someone you know will be easier.

Not just shock

Raw emotion

Understand death for yourself

Death is one of the few certainty's about life.

Mmmmm - 43

Those of us that think knowledge can be acquired without pursuing the path of love, mistake

The soul is aware of what it requires.

It demands altruism

And so long as this is absent

So long will mere intellectual study lead to nothing.

Telepathy

Need not be just between two people

Although certainly those who are close to each other can be more aware of each others thoughts

Collectively we feel messages or more accurately thought forms

This is why sometimes in cities or other communities everyone seems nervous or irritable at the same time.

The whole community is picking up the same thought form.

Sometimes even globally

Check how others feel when you have an iffy day

Often you will surprised how many others are also experiencing the same.

Back to telepathy.

Notice birds

Fish

Animals

How they can move as one?

And us?

Why not?

Start learning about thought forms

How you can relay to others your feelings

Ideas even

This requires you to develop your senses

Your sensitivity

Start today, choose to become more sensitive.

Women can approach this more easily than men

Gays even

Develop this skill it is innate in all of us.

Millions of years ago we all used telepathy as a major way to communicate with each other.

Yes really

9/10ths

Of reailty is perception

Might not be totally accurate

It's just an order of magnitude

It is saying that a high percentage of what we perceive is just a perception

Meaning it may not and probably is not accurate

Is not the truth

All of us have been indoctrinated since we were young

By our parents

Teachers

Media

Society

Religion

In fact just about everybody has given their twist to whatever we have been taught or exposed to.

Our level of consciousness means that we will continue to be vulnerable to distortions until we learn to search for the truth of things

Yes there is truth

At our level it might be a relative truth

However we can find truth

So how does this affect you?

Simple a lot of what you perceive is just a perception

if you want peace of mind then know this

Peace of mind is not possible if you are living a lie

If you are living in a lie

Choose to learn what is true and what is not

The easiest approach is to look at any situation from a moral standpoint

Does this harm someone?

Is this good or evil?

Is this right?

Find the truth of things, it might be hidden but it is always there.

Learning the truth might not be pleasant or easy

You might even have to disagree

To state your position

Doing this though will bring more peace of mind than being uneasy with something that does not feel right.

Time we all searched for truth

Enough of lies

Enough of evil

Be your own person with your own views.

Better still live in the truth.

Learn to understand that 9/10ths of what we think is reality is just perception

Change this for yourself

Live in truth

Blink

As in the blink of an eye.

In that time our cultural, racial and other prejudices fire into action

Without us being aware of it.

Policeman fire their weapons

Mistakes are made

Injustice done

All because we are conditioned in ways that most of us are unaware of.

Our societies condition us this way.

Time to move on

First step do you know your prejudices?

Most of us are only dimly aware of them.

Take time to learn yours

Racial ones perhaps?

Religious maybe?

Disliking poverty perhaps?

Those who are less educated

And so the list goes on.

Find yours and when you do ask this question.

Why am I frightened of this?

Because at the root of most prejudice is fear.

Once you find this then let it go.

Talk it out loud

Move into greater awareness

Awareness of how much we are conditioned by our culture.

Learn to live in love not prejudice

It all goes on in the blink of an eye

Become conscious

Life as it is

Life is just another journey between deaths

Gulp!

Really?

What did you think it was then?

If it is just a one off then why have you always had the nagging feeling that there must be something more to life than you experience?

Are you just frittering this life away?

It is clear that we do not take our bodies with us when we die so what goes?

Mmmmmm maybe time to think about what is really going on.

Don’t you know?

Then time to find out.

Many lives means many times here.

What have you learnt?

Life can be love

Is it for you?

If it is just filling in the days then be warned you will have to do it all over again until you learn the

lessons of each life.

Yes really

Life is not just filling in time

Life is learning

Life is growing

And if it is not then round you come again

So try to go beyond the material

Beyond I want

You have what you need to grow at all times

Yes at all times

This is not the same as what you might want

Just what you need is there for you at any given moment.

Life as it is

Use it wisely

Brain dead

Ever listened to some of the lyrics around at the moment?

So much of it is brain dead nonsense

Written by who?

Don't the singers have any say?

Maybe they wrote the stuff.

Our world is filled with noise.

It does no good for our immune systems to saturate with rubbish.

Tune out the rubbish.

Become more discerning.

Tune out mindless noise.

Enjoy beauty in all its forms

Not mindless noise

Or is it unthinking us?

That needs noise

To stop hearing what our minds are worrying about if we do not have noise around us all day long?

Religion causes

More hate

More violence

More wars

Than anything else in the history of this planet.

85% or more of all wars in fact

Were or are In the name of some religion

Insanity

Modern religion is as much about politics as anything else.

Let us go beyond religion

Let us chose to let them die of their own contradictions and infighting.

No one needs religion

If you want to communicate with what you believe in then do so in private.

Stop feeding this insanity

Let religions die.

Have the courage to communicate directly with whatever you believe in

The start of our Manvantara or journey was love and light

Not religion

There were teachers who gave us ideas and love

So feel this love it is our heritage

Not religion

Feeding

Can be routine or special

If you are feeding others do you put your love into it?

If your mind is full of anger about something else while you are prepare the food

Guess what the food tastes like?

Yes how we feel while preparing food makes a difference

The thought that goes into the meal

The pleaseure of preparing food for someone you love

Yes these things make a difference

Be warned though many do not notice

You have to train them to notice what they eat

Let alone taste the difference

It can be done but it does take time

Be patient with those who do not notice

Just do your part by putting your love into everything you prepare.

You are responsible

Yes you are.

You are the only one responsible for your life

You might try to make others responsible

But this can never be true.

Can never work over time

You are responsible

You alone.

So how do you feel about your life?

Do you like it?

Do you like yourself?

Are you a parasite?

A whinger?

Happy go lucky?

Carefree

All of us need to look at ourselves from time to time.

Do so now and decide to change those things that you do not like.

You can do it.

You are the only one who can.

Life can be truly great

Is yours?

Let love come through you

It starts inside us not outside

Let yours out

Mmmmm - 42

It has never been a secret doctrine that

"but few among mortals strive for perfection and out of those only one in ten thousand reaches the end desired".

The fundamental doctrine compels us to the conclusion that many will fail to reach immortality.

The object of reincarnation is that all the possible egos may have the chance to become immortal by uniting themselves with the spirit.

If they do not, they lose.
