Finding Truth

The Forgotten Truth That Will Set You Free

This article is part of my ongoing Series on Love.

Each of us has within us a sense of what is true, what is real.

It comes from deep within and no amount of teaching or preaching can ever really dislodge that – deep inner voice.

It may be a truth you have rarely thought of. On the other hand, it may well be an expression of the wisdom of your higher Self or Soul.

It is an acceptance of what you simply know.

How do you know, that you know, what you know?
– The epistemological question

After a lifetime of trying to explain and justify some truths that I just know to be true, I have concluded that these truths are preconscious and archetypal and form an underpinning for all of our awareness and all of our knowledge.

These truths resonate to the very depth of your being, spring forth as a comfort and assurance from your Soul, and give credence to the expression “the truth shall set you free.”

It is interesting that when these truths are expressed to you, they resonate and somehow, almost mystically, you know them to be true. There is an inner recognition that says “yes, that is true.”

When a concept has been revealed to me that has that “ring of truth” to it, I realize that it seems to be something I have always known, even if I didn’t have the words to express it, or had never realized it before consciously. Perhaps I had thought it, or even acted upon it, but never put it into words.

I have learned over the experiences of a lifetime to trust that inner wisdom, that clarion ring of truth without exception. It has never led me astray. I invite you to use that test for all that I teach and write and encourage you to keep an open mind and heart, but disregard anything, if you like, that fails that test of inner knowing or truth.

I invite you to enter into that inner seat of wisdom where you recognize and know the truth. I encourage you to apply that standard to all teachings you come in contact with.

What is so profound and powerful about reaching that true point of knowing is that it is very freeing, giving understanding to the words, “the truth shall set you free.” From that center, in the core of your being, you can see clearly and old illusions and glamour’s fall away.

I believe this recognition of truth is even more profound than a statement of faith, for when your faith is enfolded in the armor of knowing, it expands.

One of The Forgotten Ways to Find A Core of Truth

I am writing to you today because it seems to me one of the forgotten ways to find that core of truth is in the phrase “Love Never Ends.” This truth seems to resonate with most people, even if it is not understood logically.

We love life, not because we are used to living,
but because we are used to loving.
– Fredrick Nietzsche

This is not a new idea. St. Paul in his epistle to the Corinthians, in his now famous definition of love, writes in 1 Corinthians 13:8 (ESV) “Love never ends;” he goes on to list a number of things that will pass away that are esteemed, and goes on to advise in 1 Corinthians 14 to, “make love your aim.” Why? Because he knew and understood the real truth, that love is eternal.

Love is born on the wings of the Soul and
serves as an energetic bond between Souls throughout time.
– Genevieve Gerard

Love is not composed of matter but rather is energy. As such, it is not limited by that which is made of matter, such as the body of the one who first stimulated the blossoming of love. Although the body is temporal, the love lives on.

When you love, in the full assurance of the eternal nature of love, you are free to love unconditionally. You are granted a perspective to forgive the ones you love, which is its own healing and freeing action. The comfort and strength that awareness of the eternal nature of love gives is amazing.

I believe Love comes into being through a Soul connection. Your Soul, and the Souls of your loved ones, are the eternal part of your being. This has a profound impact on empowering your love with the Divine Love that “bears all things, believes all things, and endures all things.” – 1 Corinthians 13:7.

Recognition of the truth that love never ends, frees you to love without confusing love with attachment or need. It sets you free in your love relationships to shed your fears of losing your loved ones. That, in turn, releases you from the worries that may, all too often, consume your thoughts about those you love.

Everlasting Love Meditative Moment

Begin by sitting quietly and calmly, bringing your emotions to a place of deep and profound peace.

Quiet your mind and let the chatter fade away as you drop self-judgment and self-criticism.

Assert your intention to have the wisdom of your Soul revealed to you in a way that is clear and provides insight and direction in your life.

As you do this, take the time to open your heart energy and be receptive to the Love that your Soul brings to you.

To do this you can visualize your Soul as a radiating point of golden Light about three feet above your head at the tips of your fingers if you raise your hands above your head.

Invite the Light of your Soul to provide clarity, insight, and truth. As you invite your Soul into your life as a source of love, wisdom, and guidance, it is also important to understand that you Soul is an integral part of the wholeness of your being.

From that point of radiating Light visualize the gentle descent of Soul energy into the top of your head (crown chakra), illuminating your mind, infusing and enlightening you.

Now visualize the gentle descent of golden white Soul energy through the top of your head down into your heart, gently expanding your heart, infusing and enlightening you with Love.

As this energy circulates from your Soul down your chakras to your heart and back up again, be open and receptive to the expansion in your awareness and understanding that this focus can bring.

Let your heart be healed and your mind comforted. Open yourself to the love that is the nature and being of your Soul.

Ponder for a moment on those you have loved, whether still with you or not, whether in their body or not and open your heart, your mind and your Soul to the sweet depth and comprehension of what it means that “Love Never Ends.”

Open your life to the freedom to love unconditionally, that comes when you release love from need and expectations, and open your whole self to the beauty and blessing of loving, resting in the glory and fullness of the eternal bond of Love.

Take this moment to appreciate and enjoy the true joy of love that never ends. Let yourself heal from any sorrow or fears that may have previously limited your ability to love freely.

Know that, “there is no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal.”

Know that healing comes from this Divine eternal Love. This Divine Everlasting Love is your forgotten truth. Ponder on this!

Experience the amazing healing and freedom that comes when you open your heart, mind and Soul to the blessing and the realization that Love Never Ends.

I invite and encourage you to find this forgotten truth of everlasting love and let your heart be comforted and freed by the eternal nature of love.

Namaste,

Genevieve

Find The Truth

Find The Truth

-The difference between a feeling and a fact

Recently, in conversations that reflected emotional pain, sorrow, and confusion, I came to the realization that we often confuse our feelings with facts.

Just because you feel something, does not make it true.

A feeling only is valid as a feeling. For something to be true requires a higher standard of proof than just being felt.

Too often it seems that reality is perceived only through the lens of our feelings and evaluating the truth of a situation is ignored. To so highly weigh our emotions while ignoring the input of our minds is to place our being out of balance. This over-reliance on one part of our being is every bit as dangerous to our growth and development as it would be to ignore our feelings.

To ignore or repress what we feel through denial or inhibition stifles and restrains the free flow of energy that enables us to express and live a life of joy. Likewise to over-value and over-emphasize our feelings disrupt our ability to live in joy because a feeling is not a fact or a truth.

In order to live fully, joyfully and expressively, we must use and integrate our whole being; our body, our emotions and our mind. If we evaluate any given situation from the perspective of what I call the dispassionate observer, the Higher Self, then we are able to determine the truth of a situation. This very act of consideration of truth changes the tenor of our feelings and our thoughts to deliver the nexus of control into our mind and our ability to understand and evaluate a situation in a way that is liberating and empowering.

To be caught up in only our emotions, ignoring the blessing and benefit of our minds is to face life’s challenges deprived of the amazing tools of consciousness, awareness, and discrimination.
– Genevieve Gerard

These are important skills to develop along the adventure of life. To grow, to mature, to develop and to become all that you can be and to manifest all that you are meant to be, you cannot leave any of the important skills of life or tools lying on the shelf, unused.

Repressing emotions leads to a great deal of dis-ease and disaster. Likewise, over-valuing and overemphasizing emotions lead to emotional pain because the validity of the truth of a situation is ignored.

You need to use all of your skills and abilities as a human being to consider and evaluate a situation, recognizing and validating the truth of a feeling, as a feeling, but then considering truth in its higher aspect of your mind and perspective to understand in a way that relieves and reduces the pain of the emotion by granting you a greater comprehension and wisdom with which to evaluate and respond to the event or circumstance that created the feeling in the first place. Ponder on this!

This willingness to consider the truth of a situation and to evaluate happenings and circumstances from the perspective, insight and wisdom of your Higher Self, by considering what situation created the feeling is a path to freedom from being tyrannized by your emotions to letting yourself have the full power and glory of your emotions, without giving control of your life to your emotions.

This calling upon the wisdom, the understanding and perspective of the Higher Self is a time-honored technique of meditation when in quiet you call upon the wholeness of your being, your mind, your emotions and ultimately your Soul to consider and evaluate, from the perspective of the dispassionate observer, the truth.

All of us can do this by sitting quietly as you calm your mind, open your heart and invite the Light, breathing deeply, entering into the peace of the moment of time, letting go of the past and coming to the reality of a situation, as you consider whether what you are feeling is indeed true, or only a feeling.

Although the feeling may be completely valid as a feeling, considering the truth of a situation, from the perspective of your mind, there is greater understanding and, the energy shifts. This is the advantage of using the objective observer and your mind and your Soul to consider the truth and validity of a feeling.

If the feeling does not stand up to evaluation, then you are freed from all of the pain that was being generated by the feeling because you know it is not true. It is only a feeling and you can move forward in your awareness reassured that you can have the unlimited expression of your emotions without letting your emotions have you or rule you.

Ponder upon this and try this as a part of your meditation experience.

Namaste,

Genevieve Gerard
