Speaking the Truth

Why is it important to speak the truth when most of the time you just want to have the person be happy with what you said to them? It is important because what you say is a reflection of yourself. If you do not speak the truth, you cannot expect to be truly known or well thought of, by anyone. Pleasing others by sacrificing the truth helps no one, not you and certainly not the other person.

People often tell me,” it is just easier for me to say something that skirts the real truth. Everyone wins.” Well, that may seem true if you are not in Right Relationship with yourself or at odds with the other person. Perhaps the relationship is perfunctory or of little importance. Still, the lie coming out of your mouth has an energetic affect on your well being. You can’t see it but it can cause havoc with your sleep, your energy, your self-perception, your outlook on life, and your sense of efficacy,(the ability to produce the desired result).

In Cross-Cultural Communications, it is often stated that as much as 97% of our real communications in non-verbal. So, if you lie or are being lied to, it is likely that both parties know this. The issue then is how to deliver difficult information to another. Figure out what you truly feel without judgement or guile.

Speak the truth first to yourself. If you are anxious about speaking the truth to another, clear for the anxiety of speaking the truth to that person. If you are worried that what you are saying will negatively affect your relationship, figure out the kindest way to say what you need to say. But do not stuff what you need to say or make up a lie to cover the truth. Falsehoods have a way of growing out of control rather quickly. It is as if through lying you give the Universe the sense that you do not care at all about the consequences of having lied. This catches up with you eventually in undesirable ways.

You have to clear for all the stuck energy you have about speaking the truth. I have seen people go to the extreme of being so blunt in their message to another, it is as if they are attacking the person they are speaking with. This often comes from fear of confrontation and push back. Fear of being punished, ostracized, or attacked is often given as a legitimate reason to lie. Rehearse and prepare to speak the truth in sticky situations. Clear for all the fears and misgivings you have before delivering your truth.

Years ago, before numerous training programs, I would go outside and train the trees in my backyard. I would speak out loud to hear if I liked what I was saying. I still do rehearse and modify aloud when I need to say something that feels hard to deliver.

Speak truth with compassion. Imagine how the person will react to your truth and deliver your message with love and compassion, even if the message is a hard one to present. Kindness goes a long way to help support a relationship when hard things need to be said.

Often the truth is not spoken aloud because you do not want to face the truth you know is present. Take rape, infidelity, incest, stealing, addiction, betrayal, hiding financial resources, abuse, molestation, blackmail, fraud, etc. If you are dealing with these issues yourself or with a person you care about, you may well need professional help to speak your truth with positive results towards another or for yourself. Especially in these tough situations, speak the truth to yourself to begin the next phase of your life towards wholeness. Do the clearing you need to stand up and speak the truth with compassion and clarity to those who need to know. These practices keep us on a humble path towards greater inner balance.

If you are stuck around whether to speak the truth or not, ask for guidance if this truth is yours to speak. Sometimes, the Divine preference is for us not to speak the truth in a given situation. You have to determine if this is your work to do. Perhaps, it is too late to bombard a person with the truth of the past. Sometimes, we want to speak the truth so another will suffer, face up, or pay for what they have done. The wrong reasons could be at play here. Other times, it is clearly not our affair even though we know a truth regarding others. The motivation to speak the truth needs to be for a positive outcome and not a solely punitive one. What is the loving way to speak the truth? Cultivate that thinking and effective actions will follow.

Love Inspired Truth

Listen to Truth. It does not try to appease you or convince you. It simply is. It is created by Divine Oneness, never by mortal humans, because you are most likely still working on imbalances, confusion, and misperceptions. Truth is beyond human understanding. It sings a song from the heavens, from the voice of All That Is, from the vibrations of Unconditional Love. It is always attainable though you must have begun your inner journey to Wholeness. You need to begin this inner journey to Wholeness for Truth to be revealed to you. You have to go within and understand with every part of your being that you are loved and cherished, constantly, thoroughly, and irrevocably by the Divine Love of the Universe.

You are truly loved no matter what has befallen you. Even when attacked, hurt, sick, unable to find the right partner, or unable to find your professional path, you are profoundly loved. You may ask, how can that be? One explanation is that you may be paying a karmic debt during this life. Karmic debts are required of us when we have committed a seemingly unforgivable debt in a previous lifetime. We need to pay for that debt to be free to expand and fully grow in consciousness. Your life may be devoted to paying off that debt or debts so that you can soar. You may not feel loved because there are parts of your life that are very hard and seemingly unfair. However, you are still loved with a fierceness that created your current life precisely for you to be free from past transgressions. This is one type of Truth that might be revealed to you if you go within, seeking.

Nothing that happens in this world is haphazard. However, because you may not be fully versed in Divine Truth, you may resort to the belief in haphazard events, fear, or blame to make sense of that which is beyond your senses. All poverty, hatred, violence, anger, resentment, and illness are humanly created. You create a myriad of imbalances from being separated from Truth. When you go within, you are taught about Love that is all encompassing and all forgiving and you slowly heal from all that separates you from Truth, Peace, and Balance.

Being separate from Truth can also show up in how you feel about yourself. You may feel you have failed in reaching your potential or that you are being punished because of every bad thing that has happened to you. You may blame yourself for being in an unsuccessful relationship. All the while, you have simply forgotten to ask for help, for all things, in all ways, at all times. Consciously seeking in Silence and listening to Truth can heal these inaccurate perceptions of yourself and help receive needed support to see yourself as the person you actually are, loving and evolving.

This world is created in Love, and Truth is intrinsically part of that Love. You stray from that Truth every time you give into fear, anger, blame, depression, gossip, pride, judgment, or shame. These feelings and thoughts separate you from Spirit. When separated from Spirit, your requests for help have no power. If for example you are carrying self-anger and blame, when you call for a shift in your work relationships, this cannot be received. Your self-anger and blame energy block your ability to receive the energy of the request you made. This is because your self-perceptions are not in Truth!!! You have to come from loving, truthful energy for stuck energy to be transformed. The Truth is, you are a loving person carrying negative self- perceptions which are not the Truth, so this energy has to be transformed before the healing energies can be received.

Clear all blocked energies that separate you from God’s energy of love, peace, and balance. Then, all subsequent prayers are answered, every single time. You are also then privy to Truth energy that helps form the way you live.

Only Love can fully speak the Truth. For the Universe and all who dwell therein were created in Divine Love and in the image of that magnificent energy. Anything less than living in accurate Truth falls short of your full potential. You who want to reach your full potential; meditate, spend time in Silence, seek balance, seek kindness to self and forgiveness of others. You could do yourself a great kindness to pursue these ways to reach your full, loving, and powerful Truth.

Where to begin? Use the Spiritual Healing Protocol to free yourself from any type of imbalance which separates you from knowing Divine Source and living in Truth.

Beloved I AM Presence

The I AM Presence is part of every person on Earth though many of us have no idea what this means. The I AM Presence is the Oneness which exists way beyond our bodies, our lifetimes and our memories of experiences in this world. The Oneness is the state of consciousness which manifests as connectedness with All That Is. The I AM Presence is that which is Eternal about us, and thereby is pure love, pure wholeness and perfect balance.

The I AM Presence actually can’t be captured in words though that does not stop me nor others from trying to explain this state. The I AM Presence is a state of consciousness which is available to all peoples, any place, all of the time.

When I call forth the I AM Presence into a sacred space, I think of this as calling the Highest Energy of the Most High. Do I really know what this means, how it was created, or from whence it came? Not really. What I do know is that when I call this energy, I and others feel compelled to speak the Truth, are touched by an energetic state of being, each sensing this in his or her own unique way. I know there is a qualitative difference in space when I call the I AM Presence into that space. I feel a sudden and vast support, power and infinite knowing way beyond the capacities of my own being.

Recently when working with St. Germain’s energy and teachings, I was struck again by the power of recognizing the I AM Presence in All That Is. When we recognize an other’s birthday, contributions, gifts, or talents, our relationship with that other person is strengthened because of this recognition.

Happy Our Birthday :) bu Hamid Saber — Happy Our Birthday 🙂 bu Hamid Saber

As we feel gratitude and appreciation for another, the goodness of the relationship grows. What we focus on, grows. If we walk through the halls and say hello to others, our relationships are strengthened by these acts of recognition. This very same principle is at work when we recognize, speak with, call forth, love and honor Divine Presence.

Before we begin to recognize the Divine in specific ways, the concept of Divine Presence remains shadowy, vaguely unformed possibilities for a rainy day. When we recognize Divine Presence, that relationship grows, is strengthened and the goodness itself expands as we take this into our heart, minds and our being.

You may ask what is the difference between the I AM Presence and God? I really don’t know. For me, the I AM Presence is within and without as is the “kingdom of God”. Perhaps they are different aspects of Divine Source or perhaps they are exactly the same. What I know is that the I AM Presence is here, now and is an integral part of me and probably has been for all my existence. I am sure that I am moving more deeply into Divine Space when I recognize my Beloved I AM Presence. I know these connections only come through Silence and meditation. It is not possible to know the I AM Presence with one’s mind. I can know of the I AM Presence with my mind but in order to know the I AM Presence, my mind has to be quiet and calm. That is the way it works.

Last week I discovered in Silence that one can be out of Right Relationship with one’s I AM Presence. Right Relationship is defined by Divine Knowing and means being in perfect harmony with something or someone. Being out of Right Relationship with the I AM Presence looks like not acknowledging this Presence, being skeptical that one is good enough to have a relationship with the I AM Presence, denying the Divine Presence in our life or remaining undecided about whether to believe in a Goodness beyond ourselves. This is very similar to wanting to have a relationship with another while never accepting offers to date, to mingle or to be in the public where meeting someone might happen. If we don’t acknowledge the Great I AM Presence, it can remain an elusive uncertainty for as many lifetimes as we would like.

St. Germain’s teachings encourage us to Love our I AM Presence. That was a new thought. How do I Love my I AM Presence? I am certain that I can’t love something that I have never recognized. So, calling forth the I AM Presence into meetings, gatherings, arguments, decisions, prayers, meditation and illness is a perfect way to have this energy take form in your life and grow in power, presence, vitality and form.

TRY THESE COMMANDS

I call forth my I AM Presence in Its full Power and Knowing

I send unbounded Love to my I AM Presence and invite this energy into every aspect of my life.

I call the Ascended Masters to teach me about my I AM Presence

I release all my blocked energy regarding the existence of my I AM Presence.

I call for the expansion of my consciousness so I can embrace the I AM Presence as a force in my life.

Recognizing the I AM Presence leads to more abundance. Every constructive form on the Earth came from some Cosmic Being’s Love.

The birds, the trees, the plants, the water, the mountains, the animals and all of us came from Love. It does not matter what we call this Comic Being. It matters greatly what we learn from the beauty, love and power of life around us. All life around us was created from Love because Love is the only eternal force in the Universe. Further, Light comes ONLY from Love. Light ALWAYS overcomes the darkness.

When we recognize our Mighty I AM Presence, we are saying YES to Love, to Oneness and therefore to Light. Abundance is a quality of the Light. Practice recognizing the Beloved I AM Presence and experience more Love, Light and Abundance in your life. We get all the help we need as we begin to take steps to bring this energy more fully into our daily lives. As we begin to take steps towards the recognition of Divine Presence, the Love, Light and Abundance of life will show itself more frequently and completely in our day to day world.

Judge Not – continued

* See Editor’s Note Below

All people make the only choice they can make, at the time their choice is made. If a person could make a different choice, a better more loving choice, (s)he would make that choice. We make choices from within ourselves based on what is whole and what is not whole. It does no good to judge another, no good at all.

What about situations in the public, where we come upon practices which we know are unjust but are generally accepted, all the same, by our government? The same principle applies. Government officials have greater or lesser degrees of conscious knowing, as do all people. Separate the behavior from the person or set of persons. Make the comments about the injustices, not about those supporting or endorsing those injustices. It is a tricky line. It is however a most critical line to understand, if we are to remain in integrity when faced with injustice or the unloving choices of others. This is one way to do no harm and stay in integrity.

Do not resist evil. When we resist that which is dark, unbalanced, evil or horrific, it grows. It grows because we are giving our power to it by our resistance. When we put our power on the Greater Balance, the Greater Good connected with the situation, that is what grows. The photo of the young woman in green, in our last post read, “My eyes are set on freedom”. She was focused on the Greater Good. Here is another way to focus on a positive action regarding war, “Awaken”.

Speak the Truth as you know it and let it go. Your speaking the Truth from your own integrity is very powerful and should not be underestimated. If you have a spouse, friend or colleague whose behaviors you find troubling, speaking one’s Truth can be transforming especially if done in a non-judgmental way. There is inherent power in the Truth. It stands alone because it comes from our Higher Selves. After speaking one’s truth, let it go. Time is needed to take it in, after Truth shows up.

Greg (name changed) had been noticing his wife’s steady increased spending on clothing for herself, for months. When we talked, she was regularly spending a minimum of $500 a month on clothing.

Greg was reticent to say anything to her because he did not want to criticize his wife and make the situation worse. However, he was worried about what was behind these behaviors which they were not speaking about.

He first asked for Divine Help in clearing his fear, anger and judgment around his wife’s spending pattern. He worked on his fear about what her behavior might mean for her, for their marriage, for their family and he worked to let all that fear go. When he finally did say something, he asked for Divine Presence to be with him and speak through him in a loving manner.

Greg first told his wife that he loved her. Secondly, he told her what the actual pattern of spending looked like over time, with facts and figures. He said that he felt this pattern was something other than the need for new clothes and that he was concerned about why she was making these choices for herself. This opened up several weeks of dialogue which eventually led to their mutually uncovering issues she was masking over, by buying clothes and overspending.

Greg spent some early months “not resisting evil” regarding his wife’s spending. He chose not to rant, criticize, condemn or judge. He began by seeking help and then cleared his own judgment about his wife’s actions, his fears about what this might mean. Greg figured out what his own Truth was, without confusing his Truth with his own fears. He also separated his wife’s behaviors from his wife, herself. People are not their behaviors, no matter what those behaviors are. If we can separate others behaviors from the individuals themselves, we have some hope of having Love help solve the issue rather than devolving into attack, blame and shame.

Do no harm
Do not resist evil
Speak your Truth
Face darkness with the power of Divine Knowing

Above all, remember to lovingly separate a person’s behavior from the person him/herself.
