Truth and seeing yourself as One This is yet another truth that will help you reach self actualization. When you see Who You Are in relation to others, and you are doing so by focusing your love and energy towards yourself before you do so for others, and you are no longer obsessing about particular thoughts, ideas or possessions, you are coming closer to knowing the truth of Who You Really Are. You realize that you do not *need* so many things, and everything needed can be turned into something that is simply wanted. You will begin to accept yourself more and this strength will draw others towards you. Yet, although you have found strength in loving yourself, this cannot be held for long until you live it as a truth. You can do whatever you choose, but if you simply love yourself before others you will be missing a greater truth. The truth that we all exist as One. This is probably the most difficult truth for people to understand. You have to understand that the creative power that God has given you, is far greater than you already comprehend it to be. You have been given the same creative power that you see in the creation all around you. You were created in the likeness and image of God. Now, before you jump to conclusions and say that I am forcing an idea and belief of God on you and your God is the correct one, or you do not believe in God at all, remain open minded and I promise you will find great wisdom in all of this. There is no right or wrong in this world, and I will set out to emphasize that to you as I continue this conversation with you. You have been given the power to create, not only through what your mind tells your body to do, but also through the act of believing. It is truly simple and powerful, much like every truth is, simple and powerful. A truth is neither right or wrong, it is just what is. In other words, it is "existence". God or "the universe", the everything and the nothing, desires for you to have whatever you want and do whatever you want, so that through the experiences you choose you can become a stronger person, strong enough that you can become more like God herself. When you look at others, you must realize that it is you, that you are them and they are you. It is the collective consciousness that you have heard of before, you know of this. This is the ultimate truth to understand. It is not merely empathy, but an understanding of a greater truth. Empathy can come and go, but understanding that "You" are "One" with "Everyone", is more powerful. It is empathy put into it's greatest form, where you can see that each and every encounter with another, is an encounter with yourself. You realize that whatever you do whether good or bad to another, is the same as doing it to yourself. You've heard of the sayings: "What goes around comes around." "Do unto others as you would have done unto you" You are "One" with every-one, God is in
You, with each creative moment, you A point of this truth might be seen in the dialogue of the movie Never Ending Story A point of this truth might be seen in the dialogue of the movie Sphere Yet, often we do not see the pure truth that is involved in this, we place them in the back of our minds because we do not see a reason to actually live by these truths. We know that they are useful, but we still do not see their greater importance of making life easier for ourselves. Our problem is that we don't like to *think*, we'd rather just live in *hope*, live under systems that take care of us, religious sects, government, and collective group think. We depend, depend, depend on these things to take care of everything for us. We do not care to take care of ourselves first, this dependency makes us lose Who We Truly Are. "Together we stand, divided we fall" When you depend and worry what others think of you, you grow weak. You bring fear to yourself and to others. The fear I speak of is that which is opposite love. Love gives everything and requires nothing. Love is unconditional. Love is neither right nor wrong, it is just what is. Love, Joy, Truth these three things make up the beauty of God. It is what we have divided in order to gain more for one "self" instead of sharing. Love shares. Love is equal. Attraction still exists when love is equal. One can still feel special when love is equal. Our interests will always vary, and our talents will always forever vary, there is no doubt that attraction is a healthy seperation in that which is. Jealousy is an emotion of fear, envy is an emotion of love. If we are to be jealous of another, we are only being fearful and weak inside. Love is free. This is the beauty of "Oneness". Jesus saw some babies nursing. He said to his disciples, "These nursing babies are like those who enter the kingdom." They said to him, "Then shall we enter the kingdom as babies?" Jesus said to them, "When you make the two into one, and when you make the inner like the outer and the outer like the inner, and the upper like the lower, and when you make male and female into a single one, so that the male will not be male nor the female be female, when you make eyes in place of an eye, a hand in place of a hand, a foot in place of a foot, an image in place of an image, then you will enter the kingdom." - J. Christ (St. Thomas) "1 Abandon the concept of Separation 2 Adopt the concept of Visibility ...Never see yourself again as separate from one another, and never see yourself as separate from Me. Never tell anything but the whole truth to anyone, and never again accept anything less than your grandest truth about Me. The first choice will produce the second, for when you see and understand that you One with Everyone, you can not tell an untruth or withhold important data or be anything but totally visible with all others because you will be clear that it is in your own best interests to do so." (Conversations with God, Book 2, pg 242) His disciples said, "When will you appear to us, and when will we see you?" Jesus said, "When you strip without being ashamed, and you take your clothes and put them under your feet like little children and trample them, then you will see the son of the living one and you will not be afraid." - J. Christ (St. Thomas) Now that you have a good introduction to wisdom and are ready to experience Joy, Love and Truth that which is, you may proceed to observe some issues that currently exist in our society which are imbalanced from the truth of "Who You Are". These words are here to bring us forward, whenever we choose to move forward. A great quote that I live by is "Take things one day at a time". There will always be those who have more of one thing and those who have less of one thing. Yet, we will discuss resources and equal opportunity in the section: Global Sustenance. We often seperate ourselves with illusions and fear, see why the government and relationships are merely illusions we create, in the next section entitled The Illusion of Reality.
