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.
