Truth
The Truth will set you free. Lies.
“What is your truth” implies that it is a singular thing. It is not. It is so far from that. Your physical truth is a lot interacting parts to make you human. Your spiritual truth is a lot of different things making up a whole belief system. As Abraham Hicks says
“A belief is just a thought you think over and over.” Your emotional truth is wrapped up in trauma, trauma responses, childhood memories, relationships with friends and family and so much more. Your spiritual system is made up your thoughts about God/Universe/Source and this alleged matrix we live in. As you can see your truth is not one thing.
If you hear “live your truth”, remember its a lot of moving parts and this is very OK. I’d rather hear “Live your spiritual truth” or “live your emotional truth” and so on.
As I approach 6 decades on this rock, I am coming to grips with my physical truth, my emotional truth and my spiritual truth.
If somone/asks you what your truth is, ask them “Which one?” That will perplex them. As I said, It is not just one thing. Your truth is a mosaic of many things that encompasses you in this 3D space. It is your physical realm, your spiritual realm, and your emotional realm all combined to make mosaic of your real truth.
For me, nobody has seen my truth mosaic in its entirety. To be honest I don’t know what that mosaic is or looks like. Each day I add things to my truth. Moreover, nobody has seen my full truth because I have this thing called “avoidant attachment style”. It is characterized by a tendiency to avoid intimacy and emotional closeness. I have this in spades. It was born out of of my emotional needs not being met as a child. My parents divorced 11 days after my 8th birthday. It has explained a lot to me. If I get too close to a mate, my fight or flight kicks in. As for my truth, I scatter pieces of that to many people so that no one person knows my whole truth. Only my therapists throughout my life know the full truth and even then they don’t know the real truth. My mosaic of truth is out there it is just scattered. I deal shame, worthiness, financial responsibility.
Just the other day my electricity got turned off. I can tell that truth to others but not the full truth. Who do you tell your shameful thoughts to? Those thoughts that are a part of your truth mosaic? They occupy as much space as your happy truths and sometimes even more space depending on their weight. Of course once you work out that shame or other limiting beliefs, it occupies less space. It fades away from your mosaic. But, be advised that your truth mosaic will have darkness within it.
As a recovering people pleaser, a part of my truth mosaic, I avoid people pleasers as best as I can. They show me, mirror to me, how I once was. As a former people pleaser, that is part of my truth mosaic. I don’t need a proctologist, which is what i call people pleasers.
My ex-wife taught me a valuable lesson years ago when I didn’t even know I was a people pleaser. It was a gift that still helps me to this day. Most people pleasers run in to fix others problems. She taught me the value of listening as she needed a husband who listened, not was a fixer. Holding space for someone is a huge gift. As I have said, we are infinite consciousness so we have an infinite amount of space for this. It was a huge lesson for me to be an active listener. Growing up partially deaf, listening was and still is work for me. I was a people pleaser once so I knnnow all about rushing into a situation to help. Its a dopamine fix. Not for the person in need but for the people pleaser. That was a valuable lesson from my ex.
AS you navigate this 3D world, remember that your truth is a mosaic of many things, not just one thing.
My truth is a combination of red flags and green flags. A combination of empathy, pleasure, love, kindness, pettiness, divinity from within, non judgmental, being a great listener and many more things.
Learn about your truth mosaic and in doing so you will gain that peace and freedom you so desire.
As always, I love you, I am proud of you, and remember every thought matters.
Every thought matters. Changing the world one person, one thought at a time.
