The Truth That Sets Me Free

All anybody has to say is his truth, but even if it's The Truth, it still doesn't set me free.
Only if I know the truth it sets me free. 

I need to know that I know, otherwise it is only hearsay, and not my truth, and I won't be able to act on It.

So the only problem to knowing the truth which gives me freedom, peace, health, and happiness is my willingness or ability to hear the truth, which means to understand it and to believe it. I have to think it through for myself. And test it out.

However, when I check to see what I know I find, I know nothing, really. I only go along making up beliefs as they fit into my life story or my past indoctrinations. Or isn't that true?

To me it seems that the real obstacle to knowing the truth is the fact that I know nothing, that it is all make-believe. Except what I know without believing. But all I know without believing is that "I AM." The rest is a story of my life full of mixed feelings and confused interpretations, a story that changes every time i want to tell it.

But then through mindfulness meditation I learned that I don't have to identify with the story, and found that if I refrain from adding any story or belief to that "I AM," I know that there is only open consciousness, ready to recieve my thoughts and imagination.

And if you look at your mind, you know it, too. That that's what you are, the great "I Am," and that's what some used to call God, the great "I Am."
No separation before the first thought. And the thought that I allow into that open screen in my mind is what I get. It's what I decide to focus on and that's what will create my next thought, and the next, until it is a whole story and my experience.

When I accept that, I know that I am source, and that I have the freedom to decide what I believe and what I think. and how I design my story line.  I am free to think peace, love, health, prosperity, friendship all the time, and that will determine what I do and how I feel and what I call "my life."

The freedom is to make it my dream life, and my dream world, and my dream moment, right now, by focusing and imagining my dream and claiming the right to live it.  There is nothing else. Only my mind deciding on my thoughts and imagining my dream; and the freedom to make life good, the way I love it, - to think love, peace, and unity so that that's all I experience all the time. 

And you have that choice, too.
 
Simple, eh?

Too bad I usually forget the next morning. I get back into the old story they taught me in kindergarten, full of anger, hate, and fear. Especially when they call to war, or to fight evil. It seems so right to fight evil, even though I know that what you fight only grows stronger.

That's why I want a Society of Friends Network, to have friends who remind me how wonderful it is as long as we remember to make it so.


And I hope you join me and help me tell the others, until the whole planet gets it.
It is the way we make it. So let's make it a dream world.
Free, peaceful, healthy, and happy.
Now.



P.S.: Now I remember. I read the book "The Power of Decision" by Raymond Charles Barker last week. That explains the whole thing very clearly.  - Funny, i forgot. Obviously it did reach my subconscious though. And it feels good to be so free. Maybe you should ckeck it, too.
