And no wonder why Jesus explained, \u201cWhere two people are gathered in my name (One Truth), there shall I (Truth) be.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But since the duality, or separation, in our truths brings us conflict, then those with differing truths are certain to miss out on the chance of experiencing the\u00a0<strong>love, peace, and happiness that comes from knowing the ONE TRUTH OF SPIRIT? What is the ONE Truth of Spirit? It is that, \u201cGOD IS.\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0In saying, \u201cGod Is,\u201d we are also saying that \u201cGod is ONE,\u201d which means that we are all part of God. And since \u201cGod Is,\u201d then so too are we, which means that we need nothing to make us feel more complete. Therefore the Truth that is\u00a0<em>in<\/em>\u00a0God (and\u00a0<em>IS<\/em>\u00a0God), is also in\u00a0<em>us<\/em>\u00a0(and\u00a0<em>is\u00a0<\/em>us). And it is this Truth that we must learn to access as our inner Guide.\u00a0<strong>To say we are guided by the Truth is the same as saying we are guided by Love or God. They are all ONE and the same and they all set us free.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If there really\u00a0<em>is<\/em>\u00a0but One (Power) God and One Truth in the universe, then it needs to be our priority to know and honor that Truth. To\u00a0<em>know<\/em>\u00a0this Truth, we must first discover that it lies deep within us and nowhere else. To<em>\u00a0honor<\/em>\u00a0this Truth means to discipline ourselves to follow NO other guidance but the One Truth within us\u2014not our ego\u2019s\u00a0<em>little<\/em>\u00a0truth (which is always based on limited and judgmental opinions), but the powerful, loving Truth of God. And\u00a0<strong>one of the most practical ways of demonstrating our new commitment to following only God\u2019s Truth as our Guide is to constantly ask ourselves which decisions set before us resonate most with Love, Peace, and Happiness.<\/strong>\u00a0Also, we must allow the Divine Truth of who we are guide where we go and what we do and with whom.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Each day is a new opportunity to follow greater guidance, which would of course lead us towards a life that is far better than the one we had yesterday\u2014personally and globally<\/strong>. But if we find that we cannot connect with this inner Guide or that we still aren\u2019t sure which road to take to improve our life, then what are we going to do about it? Remember, if we don\u2019t do anything different right NOW, then we can pretty much expect the same life in the future. It\u2019s that simple!<\/p>\n<p>However, if you are ready for some radical ideas as to how to test your honesty and courage, then brace yourself and ask the following question in regard to your relationship, job, and\/or health: \u201cWhen I think about this person, job, or my health, existing\u00a0<em>as it is<\/em>\u00a0for another 20 years of my life, how do I feel?\u201d If you feel a sense of love, peace, and\/or happiness, then you are probably succeeding in following the Guidance of the Truth of God from within. If, on the other hand, you feel afraid, tense, and\/or deflated, it probably means you are\u00a0<em>not<\/em>\u00a0following the Guidance of the Truth of God. In this latter case we must understand that\u00a0<strong>if we prefer not to experience this person or situation as it currently is for yet another 20 years, then what are we going to do NOW to alter it or prevent it? The Truth tells us that if we do nothing new, then we will get nothing new.<\/strong>\u00a0This is basically an \u201cupgrade\u201d on our \u201cpersonal Guidance system.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Asking ourselves such questions is one of the best ways to shift ourselves back into listening to a greater Truth that we know, deep down, wants to lead us Home. But asking is merely the first step. We must also\u00a0<em>answer<\/em>\u00a0the question,\u00a0<em>learn\u00a0<\/em>something about ourselves, make a plan to\u00a0<em>act<\/em>\u00a0on whatever it is that we learned, and lastly, we must\u00a0<em>implement<\/em>\u00a0our new plan. Doing such will assuredly lead us to a future that is quite different from the past. Otherwise, once again, our future is doomed to keep reflecting our past mistakes and will probably look and feel very much the same as it has for years.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelmirdad.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/989"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelmirdad.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelmirdad.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelmirdad.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelmirdad.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=989"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/michaelmirdad.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/989\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelmirdad.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=989"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelmirdad.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=989"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelmirdad.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=989"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
