Telling A Truth From A Lie
Little wooden head that’s made of pine,
In a weary world you do your share,
Spreading laughter everywhere.
Funny little toy come play your part,
Bring a bit of joy to every heart.
And by the growing of your nose
Teach us to tell the truth from a lie.

Through the inner connection with the Source of our being in the fullness of time every one of us will gain access to all Its wisdom and knowledge. The Age of Aquarius is the age of truth during which it will increasingly flow into us and our world. That’s why it is becoming of ever greater importance that we should be able to distinguish between right and wrong, a truth and a lie. How shall we go about it?
Any kind of information and especially of a spiritual nature causes within us a reaction from the world of our feelings that tells us what we are hearing or reading is either in keeping with the Source’s knowledge or it is not. It’s an action of our own built-in lie detector, which every human soul possesses, at least potentially. Once the inner connection with our Highest or God Self has been re-established, constant practice helps this aspect of our nature to grow ever more powerful. Eventually, it gets so strong that, at all times and in all situations, this resonance from the depths of our own being tells us quite reliably whether something is right or wrong, true or false.
The wise one within is the only truly reliable and trustworthy teacher and guru of every human being and this is It’s way of teaching us the art of discernment. This aspect of our being belongs to the highest levels of life and is part of the Christ, it is the Christ. And that’s the constant companion who has always guided and protected us and forever will continue to do so, on the earthly plane of life just as much as anywhere else in the whole of Creation, where future adventures may be taking us. It is our Highest or God Self who knows us, its earthly counterpart, better than we shall ever do. This part of our being is familiar with all our needs, including the spiritual ones. It’s the filter through which all knowledge from the Angels of the Christ circle passes.
The wise one within decides how much of God’s sacred truth we are capable of digesting at any given stage time. It knows when we are ready to find out more. And that’s how it comes about that at some stage we may be completely satisfied with believing that Jesus Christ is a historical figure, who once really did walk the Earth. The revelation that the story of Jesus’ life is but a legend only comes our way when we have grown sufficiently in understanding and are mature enough to cope with it. We are then ready to find out that the Master always has been a symbol for the archetypal God man, the Christ part of our own being, who from the moment of our creation has been waiting to come alive in our heart.
This explains the necessity for updating and upgrading the spiritual knowledge that is available in our world from time to time. New religions and belief systems then emerge that are intended to move us, individually and collectively, another step forwards on the evolutionary pathway that eventually returns every human soul into the full conscious awareness of their oneness with God. And that’s how what once was considered to be the truth, in the light of humankind’s better comprehension of such things becomes not an untruth or a lie, but merely an outdated belief. Discarding an old one about us, our world, our place and role in it, takes a long time. Initially there is great resistance against it, but gradually the new revelations sink ever deeper into the consciousness of our world. For each one of us there eventually comes the moment when we can see for ourselves that every false belief we let go of takes us back home into the knowledge of our true nature. This is a process of deep inner soul healing for each one of us individually and also our world.
One of the laws of Creation is that new things can only be born when something old has outlived its usefulness and is therefore ready to die and be destroyed. Yet, nothing in the whole of Creation is ever wasted. For example, the cells and atoms of physical matter rearrange themselves and are transformed by the Highest into different lifeforms. Something similar happens to ideas and principles. They too have to be allowed sufficient time and space to die a natural death, so they can be shed when their time for it has come. As time goes by, they transform themselves into new and more helpful ways of thinking and believing and perceiving things.
In particular this applies to many of our world’s current viewpoints that to this day are based on nothing more than superstitions and false beliefs. Never forget that thinking is the most powerful force in the whole of the Universe and that what we think, we shall in due course become. As we know by now, nature abhors a vacuum. And if we think that with every small bit of empty space that is created in our individual and collective consciousness each time someone lets go of another one of their false beliefs, it instantly fills with the healing energy of the Divine, then that is what happens.
The Buddha said: ‘Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it, or because it is spoken and rumoured by many, or because it is found written in your religious books, or because it emanates from your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. When you find after observation and analysis that anything agrees with your reasoning and is conducive to the good and benefit of all, accept it and conduct your life by it.’
