Lay Down the Swords

When I was in my youth, I heard an expression: crossing swords with yourself. It meant you were actually fighting yourself but blaming others.

For instance, you whine that no one likes you but you do everything to make sure no one does. I can't get a date, but you stay home and watch TV. You complain that everyone judges you and you hate them for it, but instead of doing anything to improve the situation, you make it worse.

Do you want people to like you ... not judge you? Do you really want improvement to a current situation?

Then stop fighting with yourself and mean what you say.

Half the battle is won when you realize the problem. The other half is won when you resolve the problem.

Lay down the swords.

What Color is Your Soul?

Maybe, just maybe, when we take pride in ourselves, not based on race or beliefs, this world may be a better place for everyone.

When we remember our soul's journey, we remember that we are not one faith or race.

We remember that we are part of everything and eternal.

Ask yourself then, what color is your soul?

What faith is your soul?

What were you before ... in a long ago past?

What will you be ... in the very far future?

When we understand the answers to those questions, it leads us to wisely ask next: Why are we soul-destructive instead of soul-productive?

The one thing that will continue when the physical part of us stops breathing is our soul/mind.

What are you feeding yours?

Conditions, Conditions, Conditions!

I've always considered myself a realist, so it's no surprise for me to come to a conclusion,  after analysis, that the word unconditional (not limited by conditions) is a word that doesn't make sense. If we look closely enough, everyone or everything has conditions in life.

Conditions (v): have a significant influence on or determine (the manner or outcome of something).

Believe it or not, we can, with our very existence, subconsciously place conditions on the people in our lives: family or friends. These conditions, I feel, creates the ebb and flow of life's relationships.

Even nature has conditions ... think about it. 

However, recently I came across the words used in wartime: unconditional surrender.
After contemplating this phrase, I began to realize that maybe the word "unconditional" could make sense; possibly in the hate or control of another. Those two emotions seem to be more rigid than love should be. Or, am I deluding myself? Maybe "unconditional surrender" has hidden conditions too.

To me, love is yielding. It's not unconditional because it understands conditions are there, yet it bends when needed. You may say that's unconditional but I still see many conditions involved in order to learn ... to evolve.

Hate is unyielding. It has conditions and does not bend. It wants that so-called unconditional surrender. In doing so, it can stagnate learning. It's my way or else. 

However, there can be "my way or else" in a loving home. A parent may want their children to grow up with the conditions of understanding, discipline and order; teaching siblings to get along with one another to insure a peaceful home. All for the right conditions to create a better person.

That's not a selfish love, because there will still be kindness, rewards of good behavior, as well as other acts of caring that will be shown within the home.

The selfish love or hate has none of these. It is uncaring and unkind. It wants to bully into submission. Those are the conditions that are used to do so.

So, you can see why I've had an issue with the word unconditional. Conditions seem to be in so many things ... all part of survival. Yet, it's the type of conditions, along with who's doing it and why, that holds the most importance.

Maybe instead of unconditional love we should be saying altruistic love. The love that is for the good of all not just the one.

Altruistic? Hmmm ... even that suggests conditions. 

Dialogue With An Intolerant Mind

Below is a lengthy and, hopefully, an enlightening blog about a conversation with a Facebook "friend" who not only unfriended me but blocked me afterwards. 

What triggered that reaction? In this blog, I will explain what happened and why. 

I felt something might be going on because, as we were "conversing," guidance suggested I copy everything. I'm glad I did as they suggested because it can be used to show how I deal with judgments and release them too. It is also a way of showing hidden intolerance within some people due to their emotional blocks.

What people show on the surface is not always their true self, as we've seen lately with sociopathic, mass murderers like Elliott Rodger; which I wrote about in one of my previous blogs.

 

Anyway, I thought I was being nice. My emotions, during the discussion, were my usual calm self (almost nonexistent), because I didn't want her to think I was being rude towards her comment. To me that's like being rude in someone's home. Because of it, her final reaction took me by surprise. To unfriend was one thing, but to block too? Strange!

I felt this warranted analysis.

 

Lead in to our conversation ....

 

There was a picture of an African clothing pickup location for homeless people, which she shared on Facebook. She also made a comment that more people in the USA should be doing "similar things" for the homeless, as well as having "food locations" such as a Saudi Arabia man, which is also mentioned in the link below. This link has many ideas in helping the homeless ... even from people in the USA.

 

Here is the website. http://www.oddee.com/item_98957.aspx

 

This left me feeling confused at why so critical of the USA which does many, many things for Americans ... as well as other countries. Why such a narrow opinion when many websites extol the virtues of people in this country (even though others like to bash them too)? Websites that are easy to investigate showing the good Americans do ... in all financial levels.

 

To me, intolerance indicates a feeling that no matter what people do it's never good enough. To keep projecting that type of hate or any negativity onto people may create an attitude: why bother?

 

I felt she wasn't thinking things out thoroughly and I only wanted to present a different side to the subject. As I stated above, many people in the USA (and elsewhere) donate their time, give money as well as many other things they are "called" to do ... for many reasons ... and not just for homeless people. I see tons of pictures on mental or medical issues, child, elderly, spousal or pet abuse, sexual trafficking, rape victims, missing people, murder, corporate abuse, medical malpractice, among other things ... with the constant demands of ... help me help them.

 

I'm more concerned that the influx of these things I see on social medias, will have a reverse reaction and start desensitizing people. My empathy senses they may start feeling overwhelmed with the demands of the world problems and emotionally shut down due to it ... for self preservation ... creating the apathy and complacency she included in one of her comment.

 

Below is the conversation that was started due to the comment on her picture. I directed it towards the food part, at first, due to concerns about food poisoning with unprotected locations. I never mentioned leftovers as a food source but that wasn't the only thing she read wrong because I was addressing her accusation of me of being short sighted and fear driven. She must have felt threaten by something I said to use name calling ... making it a personal attack ... which caught me off guard ... leading me to explain more about my life so she would realize I was aware of hardship.

 

----------
I wrote: Too many people in the US are afraid of getting sued at the drop of a hat. All that collateral damage that makes us all suffer the laws that are made to "protect the innocent" but hinders us from doing worthy things because of stepping on the toes of the ignorant who cannot see the good that was being perpetuated and sue people instead. It sucks!

 

She wrote: I don't buy it. Not for the majority.

 

I wrote: That's why they have places like church charities and corporations like Salvation Army. To reach wider areas with less repercussions. Putting food out for the homeless could be dangerous. There are wackos out there who could and would poison the food. I wouldn't want to take the chance if I was homeless.

 

She wrote: If I was homeless and starving, I would appreciate everything and anything a person would offer to help. I think your ideas are very short sighted and fear driven. I'm sure there are very creative ways to be able to help others, and no one said it had to be leftover food. I think it's a cop out to put it on the shoulders of organizations. Every individual has the opportunity to help others, if they choose to. Many do not, because of apathy and complacency. It's shameful.

 

I wrote: Considering you haven't walked in my shoes I would say your being very judgmental. I have given my time, money as well as other resources to many people over many years. The universe knows the truth in this. I have never attacked you personally as you just did me. Maybe you should ask yourself why that is because it's confusing to me. I've shared my opinion ... that's all. My insight comes from being observing of human life all my life. Am I leery of all human kindness? No, but I'm aware and intuitive enough to know that not all humans can be trusted. That too is based on my life experiences ... based on knowledge and not fear. I have given much to my family financially; hundreds of dollars in financial support as well as emotional support because that's how I am. Charity begins at home too. I'm not complacent or apathetic ... I choose my battles wisely. Maybe many people do because of people being ripped off due to their kindness being exploited. That too is from personal observation. Guilt tripping ... if that's what you're doing ... tends to make people pull away from doing anything. Many are tired of having a hammer to their heads and being called names because they feel they're doing what they can when they can. 

 

Yes, I would probably eat a roach to stay alive or drink bad water. Since neither of us apparently have been homeless, it's actually an assumption what either of us would do. 

 

She wrote: I have been homeless before. I'm not now.

 

I wrote: I was basing that on your comment ... "if I was homeless." I apologize. No one should be. I have been in dire straights. A single mom taking care of an infant and a brother. I have struggled most of my early life in supporting myself. Being from a large family, I grew up with the bare necessities. No luxuries. I've slept on a floor before because of no bedding. I washed dirty diapers in my tub and line dried them because I had no washer or dryer. I've asked for help and had little to none. Back then they didn't have the support, other than churches, as they do today. I've been proposition by men to keep my job ... turning them down and losing them because of it. Things are better then they used to be in many areas but I feel there's still room for improvement ... everywhere. All in time.

 

She wrote: Life can and is very very hard on many. And for many, all we can do is the best with what we have. But there are some who have not known hardship, and some of them could care less what their fellow man is going through. And especially here in the US, where we pay millions to athletes and celebrities, when there are children whose only meal they receive is at school (if they are lucky), and many families living in their cars (if they are lucky). Now, my comment to you was the "fear driven" portion only. You read the whole comment to be directed toward you, and I was addressing those who are apathetic and complacent. It is my opinion it sounds fearful. Your reaction is based on you feeling attacked or disagreed with. And whatever you perceived from my disagreement and observation, has led you to a frenzied overreaction. And that is ok, and I'm glad you shared everything you did. Because where was the help you needed during all those difficult events you lived through? Where was the support? I'm sorry it was so hard for you, as it is for many in this world. I hope life became better? And if it hasn't, I hope tomorrow it will. There is no competition with trying to live. There is only survival. My hope and dream is that no matter how hard life becomes for many of us, that we still can find the ability to help another who is less fortunate than we. (And this has nothing to do with you). This is only my hope, that's all.

 

I wrote: Thanks ... and, please, I don't want you to think it was a "frenzy overreaction." There was never those emotions involved within me ... ever ... just a minimal explanation of my life for perspective. My life was based on perseverance and, in hindsight, having some good luck to help now and then. I don't look back with self pity but appreciation. It is why I do help, and have help, those who are less fortunate ... including all the free stuff I do for those under telekinesis because I know how that feels too. 

 

If you're being homeless helps you to help others, that is admirable and selfless. I know that not everyone can or will. Maybe one day we won't have to feed the homeless because we won't have them anymore. 

 

I am not into sports because of the money involved. I don't feel supporting that insanity. To me it isn't conducive to logical thinking. Yet, I know that many in that, and the entertainment field, are altruistic. I won't begrudge them of what they do only because I'm doing my best not to judge or covet their goods. It's something I've never done ... harbor ill will over another's worth. I find it more productive to be busy building my own or helping others build theirs. 

Thanks again for sharing your feelings ... clearing the air. :)
--------------

 

And .... after all that, as well as an apology, thanks for sharing, and smiley face, I was deleted as a friend and blocked. What she failed to understand is, without people contributing to corporations, there wouldn't be corporations doing what they do on the larger scale they can provide. That is still people helping people, via them, and we can still help (volunteer) on other individual basis too ... but to what we are called to do ... not always what others think we should be doing.

 

Yes, there are shady corporations and we have to be careful who we give our time and money to. That's why we investigate first ... to the best of our ability.

 

The website (above), with the homeless ideas that she shared, had the picture of the clothes wall which is in Cape Town, Africa. When she mentioned food, it struck me that not all food donated by an individual may be safe based on our food and drug administration laws. A lot of repercussions could occur that could involve individual lawsuits. Look at how fast people sue companies and individuals today? That's the point I was making in the beginning of why people may shy away from doing things individually because of legal ramifications. The USA has a lot of strict laws to protect us from many things due to past errors being made as well as past psychotic people hurting someone or being hurt: street people killing someone or gangs killing street people. Many who understand these complications, and situations, tend to shy away from certain things that have been known to backfire. I can't tell you how many times I've read about people being deliberately poisoned ... including homeless people. 

My initial comment was in regards to my awareness and seeing hers as being short sighted ... to help raise her awareness. 

 

This is why history repeats itself. People don't tend to investigate situations before jumping head into possible trouble. We are not Saudi Arabia or Africa but we do have churches, shelters, and other places that provide for homeless ... including food donated by people. Let's give credit where credit's due. Many people are doing many things ... the US Post Office even had a recent food drive. If that's not people doing things, what is? I felt she wasn't able to grasp that we have a ton of ways that people are helping in the USA. References that even rich people aren't doing enough is completely untrue and unfair. Many people with money do very altruistic things and this too can be found on the Internet. Billions of dollars are contributed every year by the American people to help many causes.

 

Until one knows another's soul, who really knows what triggers something in another. I actually don't feel I was being unreasonable or antagonistic in sharing my knowledge; which were, as I said before, very low key at the time and certainly not a "frenzy overreaction" much less "fear driven."

 

I felt later that it was the "energy" around her that led her to believe otherwise. I know that kind of thing has happened a few times to people I knew. I also felt the fear and frenzy she felt was her own ... projecting her feelings onto me ... due to her experience of being homeless.

After analysis, I realized she had been cold shouldering me since I made a correction comment on one of her many animal pictures. I had been getting feelings about this every time afterwards, when I hit the like button on any of her comments or pictures, that she was avoiding me. I realized, with this occurrence, that she fits the stereotyping of those who can dish it out but cannot take it. 

I asked guidance if it was her or the energy around her that created this. They suggested that it was of no importance who created it. "She's an adult and she allowed it. She chose not to rise above this. People who choose to be activist should be prepared for constructive criticism and not run away at the slightest differences of opinion, especially when done in good taste and with honest intent."

I have no ill will in any of this. Maybe it's because I've developed a thicker skin over the years due to my experiences. Sharing this is only with the intent on how I release judgments for my peace of mind. If it helps someone else, even better.

One must understand tolerance for others if they want tolerance in return. One must understand that the calling for one may not be the same for others. Let your conscience be your guide to whatever you are called to do and then do it. Keep in mind the Golden Rule when doing so and you'll know you're being guided with good intent.

After all is said and done, my greatest wish for her is that she gains the gift of tolerance to help her along her journey and to know that many people may be called in many directions ... not just hers.

 

Pernicious Path

Pernicious: Having a harmful effect, especially in a gradual or subtle influence.

 

Recently, I posted this word on Facebook with a sentence and a picture about vines being pernicious. This led to some wonderful insight about the vine itself.

 

It actually led away from the word, pernicious, which can be used in many other areas ... as in substance or companion abuse for example (a gradual influence leading to a harmful effect).

 

This made me think of another sentence it has been used in. I wonder what insight I'll get this time because it can be a more touchy subject then vines.

 

2 Peter 2:2: "And many shall follow their (false prophets) pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of."

 

The way of truth?

 

Couldn't all current day faiths be maligning said way of truth through gradual and harmful influences leading us away, instead of to, said way? A deliberate and subtle maligning to dupe us into believing otherwise ... like any addiction would do ... slowly but surely over the ages ... to feed into that ego of false doctrine  instead of the  real "way?"

 

How would we know?

 

Through intuition?

 

What if it's being blocked?

 

Have we been corrupted over time by the false prophets within the churches ... within the faiths ... to create a deceptive way of truth via pernicious teachings?

 

Luke 16:13 "No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money."

 

Can one really have two masters at the same time ... money and doctrine?

 

Could this have led us on a pernicious path away from the "way of truth"?

 

 

Backstabbers

I happened to mentioned to a friend of mine the other day: If I dwelled on everyone that stabbed me in the back I wouldn't have a life. 

Later, I started thinking about this message I was guided to say to offer comfort. I looked back over my life and was surprised over the number of times that this had happened to me ... including with family members ... in the past as well as current times.

Was it a message of some sort? Was I too nice? Too loving? Too gullible? Too trusting? Or is backstabbing just a way of life?

Last night, I was reminded of a backstabbing of biblical proportion.

My original soul was asked to return to a physical form to guide and in doing so, many jumped on the bandwagon to offer help. A few that my soul knew had it in them to provide protection and support ... and I felt could be trusted more than others due to the long history together.

Anyone reading my true story, "Great Flame Within," knows what happened ... soul removed ... along with my torment and torture throughout my life which hasn't ended ... among other things. And, as I was reminded last night, all due to backstabbing from the highest of places ... those that were supposed to be trustworthy in the universe.

Now I know why my guard is up when it comes to trust. I can still feel all those sharp instruments in my back.

Strong Unyielding Mindset

Over the years, I've learned it's not just the physical person's attitude, or the physical influences around them, but the emotional energy of the unseen family around them too. They can create the biggest attitude, which can influence the mind of the person they're around, because of being unaware they are there.

I had a discussion yesterday from a Facebook "friend" who has the ego of no acceptance of anything but her truth ... based on another comment I had made in the past on one of her posts ... even when guidance suggested there's more to what she knew, understood, or saw.

I had avoided controversy with her since, because of her past, "somewhat condemning" comment to me, and would only occasionally like her posts to show no hard feelings. However, I agreed to guidance suggesting to help her, with another point of view, on a post about leaving food and clothing outside for the homeless, that was being done in a third world country, (why can't the USA do the same?) but got unfriended and blocked in the process, after offering several logical reasons of seeing problems in doing anything similar, as well as being personally attacked and calling her out on it but still doing it with consideration of her feelings.

This is not the first time this has happened to me with a Facebook friend. Many times I ignore a lot due to my philosophy of picking my battles wisely. However, there are times I read things and think ... whoa ... they must not know what I know ... maybe I should share my feelings ... my perspective.

However, some people cannot abide in looking at the other side of the coin though. So be it.

If you're willing to place your truth out to the public, be willing to have it analyzed through discussion or even rejected. I have no problem discussing anything ... I feel it opens many doors of learning new things. It's part of my curious nature and my willingness to understand more. I don't profess to know everything but I feel I would hinder my learning if I refuse to civilly discuss things. To me, it has to add up ... make sense. If not, it's not logical and my mind cannot accept it. That's how I treat people .... that's how I want people to treat me. 

Simple.

I know, from past experiences, that there are those whose mindsets are so strong, no help can be forthcoming ... as in the recent case of Elliot Rodger's recent California mass murder/suicide. If anyone read his manuscript called My Twisted World, you'll know what I mean by a strong mindset. I can see where help was ever present, ideas were there to help him see beyond his limited and judgmental thinking, but he was not having any of it.

Why? Was he a target being used outside our realm of thinking ... for some past misdeeds or a higher purpose?

Is this women's unyielding mindset for the same purpose? Is her limited thinking to protect her, use her, or harm her? 

Time will tell.

I have discovered way too often, through observation and personal experiences, that a strong, unyielding mindset is not always good, especially when argument is given to help see beyond it. Her being guided to unfriend me shows me she (or someone) cannot handle conflict or controversy ... even if it was meant to help her ... as in the case of Elliot Rodger.

My advice is to move on and away from anyone that reminds you of this type of personality ... especially if you don't feel strong enough or educated enough to intervene. They don't want help or understanding. Not until they are, karmically "busted down off their pedestal" from the universe ... including any possible collateral damage ... will they be ready to move on beyond their feelings.

This is what I've been discussing with the universe regarding Elliot Rodger ... and people like him ... a pompous, interfering soul from the past who was reaping karma. Karma that included those around him because of failing to learn from the teachers who were sent here to show the way of protection ... to see the signs ... based on intuition and not just eyesight or hearing.

Is being stubborn to keep you from being used or to keep using you? 

How will you know if you close off from additional information?

Our Scratched Record Thinking

I have been thinking about people who contact me about these ruminating negative thoughts. I am constantly reminding them to stay busy but I know, from personal experiences, they can come back once we stop being busy.

These thoughts are like a scratched record that repeats and repeats until you willingly and physically move the needle on the record. The objective is to learn to move the needle (replace those thoughts).

Every time you have a negative thought repeating, find a positive thought to replace it. You have to consciously do this ... just like moving that needle off the scratched record.

Like "Peace of Mind in Daily Life" author Ramez Sasson says, in his blog: "This mental noise is like a background noise that never ceases, from the moment of waking up in the morning, to the moment of falling asleep at night. Often, it even prevents you from falling asleep. It is a sort of inner voice that constantly analyzes everything about your life, circumstances, and the people you meet. It is a voice in the head that just keeps talking and talking! The mind also repeats the same thoughts over and over again, like in a loop, like a record that got stuck. If these are a positive thought that's fine. However, too often, these are negative thoughts that intensify stress, worry, anger or frustration. These are thoughts that you absolutely do not need."

You can read more here: http://www.successconsciousness.com/mental-noise.htm

Here is a link to another blog I wrote called "Ruminating Thoughts! Argh!" It too has a link attached to another site about this topic.

http://atomaraneadvice.blogspot.com/2013/03/ruminating-thoughts-argh.html?m=1

Sadly, I have discovered that most want a magic wand waved over them to make the negativity go away, yet I've also discerned that this isn't the path of their soul. Too many times they've ridden the path of others to take the easy way and now its time for them to learn it differently.

Life shows us that even the flow of a river changes for a reason.

Sophocles wrote, in Philoctetes (c.409 BC): "No good e'er comes of leisure purposeless; and heaven ne’er helps the men who will not act."

In other words: God helps those who help themselves. Now it's time for them to move the needle off the record ... even if that's asking for help ... asking for advice ... so they can learn to do it themselves.

The Thief of Anger

I recently shared my feelings (below) with someone on Facebook, regarding anger, and thought I'd share it here too. It was about a meme I posted: "No one makes you angry, you decide to use anger as a response." 

Attached to it, I had written: One of my guides taught me this. She said ... no one makes you angry, you allow yourself to be angry.

---- Comment
It takes practice but the minute someone says something that triggers anger in me, I try to step back away from the anger portion and ask myself if this person is worth me getting ill over.
---- End

Anger takes away our peace of mind which can affect our physical well being. Is this person or thing worth giving one's power over to them? Anger doesn't just steal our nice moments, it may eventually steal our life ... our soul.

To me, that's like giving the devil it's due, so to speak. No thank you!

Do I still get angry? Rarely, but sometimes, like crying or venting, a little civilized heated debate can be cathartic. However, it can become less necessary, for that type of emotional release, due to knowing better. Moving away from our primitive soul takes time, patience and education ... as well as wanting to do so.

Anger is fear based. The trick is to find out what triggers anger in you ... what are you fearing ... and do what you can to handle it differently. It's no different then being bullied but learning to retaliate with a different attitude then they expected ... which is like dowsing a fire before it gets out of control.

One example: I learned, to avoid a possible heated argument that could lead to sad consequences, by agreeing with them, but with an attitude. "Yes,  you must be right. What do I know?"

Then, if I don't walk away, I may just stand there and face them down with a stare ... not taking my eyes off of them. Many people have told me I have a stare like an eagle or hawk ... looking right through them.

I am ... I'm looking into their soul to monitor my next move or reaction ... reading them ... calming my emotions ... and, if necessary ... stealing my soul back.

Crying Wolf: Gullibility and Indifference

There's a fable about a boy who was bored and cried wolf to the villagers to trick them into believing something that wasn't true. After several times of doing this, the villagers became indifferent to his cry of wolf and didn't show up. This led to a very serious consequence. A wolf had appeared and attacked the sheep. The boy learned a valuable and costly lesson that night.

The moral of the story was not to purposefully deceive people because they could become indifferent. When you want them to believe you, they won't.

You can read more about the fable at this link.

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Boy_Who_Cried_Wolf

The phrase, "cry wolf" was something I grew up remembering because it taught me that teasing with lies could bring about a serious negative situation.

I had a friend who was like that ... he even called me gullible. One day he said something serious and I didn't believe him. It made me realize how important this fable was due to experiencing it first hand. I had allowed myself to become indifferent without realizing it.

I'm just glad it didn't cost me my life. 

This is what I see going on today with the making of false reports and videos on the internet. Some think it's funny to be deceptive. They, who are being mean spirited, place themselves on a pedestal because of their boredom without understanding the karmic reaction to their misdeeds. 

I've begun to see the indifference in video comments. Things like: phoney, photoshopped, fake ... and those being the kinder words. Is it all of these things or are we becoming condition to not believing anything because we're tired of the continual regurgitation of fabrications?

Even in blogs the deceit continues. Some people in the media report without validation or accuracy expecting belief. I see knowledgeable comments, to negate the falsity, but others avoid the messages. The confusion becomes outrageous. The debates become heated and sometimes vulgar. 

Is this due to the frustrations of dealing with deliberate lying? Is this the dummying down that so many speak of? Is this our gullibility being ridiculed or mocked to the point it's creating indifference, rebellion, or bullying because we're tired of being duped?

Where will it take us in the future?

Will it affect everyone when something major happens and our indifference negates the truth because of dealing with so many lies ... costing us dearly?

Will our ability to sense the truth be negated?

Will those of knowing do all they can to protect our ability to know?

Yes, I wonder where all this current insanity of "crying wolf" will karmically lead us. Time will tell ... because the future is not just their karma ... we're all part of it. 

In the meantime, I'll continue with my ultimate question to the universe while asking for truth ... which could be SOMEONE'S truth but not necessarily THE truth. 

Is it God's truth?
