Soul Truth

I've been thinking about this subject for a few days and decided to share it. From what I've learned, our soul is our essence. It represents our identity, which makes us who we truly are. It is the core of our memory, feelings, imagination, convictions, desires, and affections. 

To me, it often holds more value than any physical appearance. In fact, in all the years that I was making my metaphysical videos, many times I'd answer emails, messages or comments, without knowing or caring about someone's looks. 

Obviously, these people came in all shapes and sizes, body markings/piercings, and various races. They may have been poor, wealthy, well dressed or slovenly. It didn't matter, because reading their soul was more important. I wanted to know if they were legit or not. 

Of course, it's no secret that many of us know how to read people. I've even seen children do it, probably better than most adults. We know when someone's being funny or serious. We can often sense when someone's BS-ing or lying to us, even if we can't always prove it. We sense danger or know when something's not adding up. Many of us can even sense those who want to lead us down a pernicious path. 

To make a very long story short, what my metaphysical teachers taught me was how to take it to the next level... sensing God's truth or universal truth. I was taught words can be deceptive but emotions don't lie. That our soul truth didn't always align with universal truth... good or bad. I was taught about telepathy and how our minds can be blocked and why. Were they my feelings or someone else's? I wanted to understand this and more because I'm a questioner and don't like being gullible or used. 

In other words, if God could talk to people in the Bible, why not me? 

If God has a soul, couldn't we read it, too?

If Jesus could teach his disciples, couldn't anyone learn today? 

Are all the things we read in religious text true?

My inquiring mind wanted to know these soul truths, whatever they may be. It took years and a painful path, but I got my answers.

Grace of God

If you ever feel your life is overwhelming, try watching another's. I've often found my troubles are minimal when I see another, or others, who may be worse off. 

Seriously, it puts things in perspective. 

One night, back in the early ninties, I was watching the evening news and my oldest daughter asked me how did I do it? How could I've gone through all I've have, and still was, without being an emotional wreck and constantly in tears?

I looked at her and said: By watching the news. Just when I thought I was at a breaking point and going to have a pity party, God would show me how well off I really was compared to another. 

Like the saying... "there but for the Grace of God go I."

Of course, this wasn't to undermine my hurt and pain, but to help me understand that it could be worse. It would help me create feelings of compassion and gratitude instead of self-pity and anger. 

Worth: Universal Players

I'm constantly reminding people of their worth by telling them that everyone has a purpose here or they wouldn't be here. Like stars in the universe, they fill a needed void with their existence, even if they haven't found the reason behind it yet.

Be patient... timing is important. No answer doesn't mean it's a bad answer. 

Today, in meditation, guidance reminded me to remember that this is true in many aspects of life. Many times, what we see as something bad may have a higher order behind it. A possible check and balance in the system. Something we haven't been made aware of yet. Possibly, the good of the one, or few, outweighing the good of all.

It reminded me of the Taoist farmer and horse story... to not assume something is bad... or good.

Even if we are not privy to an immediate understanding, it doesn't make it less valid. We are all privy in asking. Even if we may not like the answer, it's still there for us.

I was also reminded, with the reasoning of "everyone has a place to fill," that if we don't want our place negated, we should think about another's place, the part they are playing, and the reason for it.

The easiest way to quell frustration, over something we feel, is to ask that question: if I'm here to fill a void for a general or higher purpose, wouldn't everyone be too? And if so... what is it?

It's important to be impeccable in questioning things in order to get the best results. 

They said that most won't ask though... some relish their frustrations, anger or "woe is me," as opposed to knowing the answer.

I felt that it's because they may already know the answer, deep down inside, and just don't want to hear it spoken or don't want to acknowledge their part in the universe.

My meditation this morning also reminded me once again how powerful our collective thoughts can be in manifesting things and to be careful what we request. It may not be as we expected because we don't always know the part we are playing in the universe.

6th Generation Warfare?

One of my friends shared a short video of a gentleman discussing 5th Generation Warfare. It was intriguing enough for me to investigate further. 

The internet has all the generations of warfare in detail, but this is a summary of the fifth one: "Fifth-generation warfare is conducted primarily through non-kinetic military action, such as social engineering, misinformation, and cyberattacks, along with emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and fully autonomous systems."

Years ago, I wrote several blogs about Mind Warfare. The first one was in 2012 because of seeing a video of a Russian whistle blower discussing using mind power as a means of warfare.

He said that the Russians were studying astral projections and mind control, for the purpose of a new way of warfare... mind warfare. He also mentioned they were learning to take down the US with mind control by creating thoughts in our minds and making us believe it was our own idea (subjected thought).

You would think this sounds futuristic, as in Darth Vader and Jedi stuff, but, apparently, the future is here and has been. Maybe not quite the extent of the Star Wars characters, but the US, and other countries, are well aware of psychic mind control. We would be deluding ourselves to think anything less. 

Eventually, this may be called 6th Generation Warfare. Time will tell. 

Truth Comforter

This morning, I was thinking about someone calling me a Comforter, many years ago, because I helped her with a problem she was experiencing. 

I decided to research it and found this comment. "Comforter: (John 14:16-17 ) The name given by Christ to the Holy Spirit. The original word is Paraclete and means first Advocate, a defender, helper, strengthener, as well as comforter." 

So, that had me looking up John 14:16-17 (see picture). 

Then I found this comment about the meaning of John 14:16-17. "After dying on the cross for their sins, he would rise again and ascend into heaven, at which point he will send the comforter, the Holy Spirit, the advocate, to help them and to be with them forever. In this way, Jesus will be with them until the end of the age." 

Jesus said: "Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free" (John 8:32). 

Does this mean that "truth" is the comforter? Whatever that may be. Of course, we may not want to hear/know it. That can happen, too. 

Maybe it's why so many are in turmoil today. Deep down inside they know the truth - the wisdom of the holy spirit - but don't want to listen to it. 

Very, very interesting. 🕊

Make It Make Sense!

Over the last few years, I've seen many people, including myself, say: make it make sense. 

After meditating on the numerous things that's caused us to exclaim this, I've come to the realization it seems it's due mainly to two things... envy and hate. 

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn once said: "Our envy of others devours us most of all." And that's what I've been seeing in the world, a devouring of ourselves. 

Now, that's not saying everyone. There are still many who know how to love themselves and are logical enough to see past the negative energy around them. Especially to avoid being brought into another's cult of fantasy, deception, and self-destructive personalities. 

Think about that path of envy to hate personalities.

Did envy lead to hate of those who wanted to pretend they were a minority in order to receive the benefits a minority was receiving?

Did envy lead to hate of those pretending they were someone or something other than what their mirror was reflecting?

Did envy lead to hate of those professing it wasn't right to steal another's race and culture as they began to hypocritically steal another's race and culture? 

Did envy lead to hate of those who demanded that we stop discrimination as they systematically began to discriminate?

I could go on but I believe you get the picture. We are seeing their envy and hate devouring themselves. But, they can't stop at that. They have to justify their actions by trying to bring others into their black hole of self destruction? 

Love and understanding may be their salvation, but not while they, continually, wear envy and hate blinders. Not while they stick their fingers in their ears while screaming... you're not listening!

All anyone can do is kindly, but firmly, present the logic within the illogical and pray the light of reasoning breaks through their darkness. However... pick your battles wisely as their darkness may be more than you can bare.
