Truths

Truths appear in drips, streams, flows and pours. Drinking from the fountains of truth holds pleasures and benefits galore. Yep, truths poured in and truths poured out -- to constructively share. Truths sure can favorably do our lives well.

Initially, truths don’t always please our thirsty appetites. Often, though, when we allow them to rest in soak formation, to marinate and then to sink in thoroughly, our thirsts are satisfyingly quenched. Acceptance of truths adds to successful accomplishments of our action plans -- with relish.

Certainly, digesting truth proves good for our systems.

False Positives



Hi -

People can believe things into “truth.”  I remember when I believed in Santa Claus and the Boogie Man until I didn’t.  They were truths to me.  I made them truths within me.  Of course, they aren’t truth or real, but they were my reality, and thus my truths, as is the case with other folks who believed in them.   

A wife can believe that her husband is cheating when he isn’t.  But she’s made that HER truth and reality so it's what she believes, despite him NOT cheating. 

The same goes for Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.  Despite the truth that FLAWED MEN wrote bible content, I believed absolutely everything that’s in it -- until I came to KNOW that, FOR REAL, bible content isn’t ENTIRELY truth.  There’s an abundance that has been revealed that Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior -- is a myth.  But do most Christians investigate to learn if there is truth that has been revealed, in abundance, about Jesus as Lord and Savior being a myth?  Nope. What they typically do is quote and cite scriptures from the very bible that has been exposed as NOT being ENTIRELY truth.  Most Christians will “fight” against THAT reality, as well.  

The other day, on Facebook, I expressed that Satan and demons aren’t real.  Well, they ARE real to folks who make such THEIR truths.  I did it, too, until learning better.  People literally burning eternally in the lake of fire was a belief of mine, as well, despite such ONLY being mentioned in ONE book of the bible -- Revelation -- a book that was in dispute as to whether it would even be included as part of the bible canon. 

There are Christians who are convinced that yoga/meditation, chakras, Freemasons and astrology are evil.  They have made those beliefs THEIR truths, as I once did.  In reality, those things aren’t evil.  Can they be used for evil purposes? Yes.  So can internet content, so can sex, so can alcohol and so many other things. Some Christians believe that damn near everything is evil EXCEPT Christianity.

Often, folks believe and cling to what resonates within them because they’ve allowed themselves to be persuaded that what isn’t truth is -- thus the false is their reality -- so for them IT IS truth.   

Real deal truth is always the best; authentic always outshines imitations . . .  And of course, there are some things that we don’t know one way or the other . . . Such is reality, as well.

For those who are inclined to research, examine, and to investigate more, my blog has an assortment of resources, including videos -- but NOTHING can substitute for our own personal journeys to supplement learning from others. Here's the link: www.journeyawakenings.blogspot.com

The greatest truth of all -- is love in consistent demonstration.
