What Is Truth?

by Steve on November 2, 2010

I have said many, many times that there is no such thing as “right” or “wrong” because everything JUST IS. I understand that this can be hard to understand and it is definitely something that requires a lot of attention and explanation to get a firm grasp on – so let’s do it.

What Is Truth

Here is my favorite way about thinking what TRUTH really means, especially to each and every single person. Since we have said that there is no such thing as “right” or “wrong” and everything just is, the first thing we need to realize is that all “TRUTH” is relative to each and every single one of us. That is to say, that each person possesses in their mind, heart and body what they believe to be the TRUTH about anything. You can call this your truth, beliefs, belief systems, paradigms or whatever other word you can come to think of, the bottom line is that they are all the same.

Each person develops what they believe to be their truth as a result of the experiences they have been through in life. Our beliefs are always changed based upon what we experience in life, but most important, our truths and our beliefs change based upon how these experiences make us feel through our emotions.

All Experience Is Relative

This is important to understand, that All Experience IS Relative. What I mean by this is that you can take 100 people and carefully make sure that they have the same exact experiences, and at the end of this each one of those people will all take a different meaning from that experience. We see this all of the time in society with art, movies, music and poetry. Even if the creator of the piece has a set intention, meaning or message, all of the people who come to watch or listen to the piece will all take a different meaning out of it.

This is the essence of life, this is our free will and choice demonstrated. We all learn and develop beliefs that mean something special to us, and all new beliefs and experiences we acquire in life are going to interact with our past experiences and beliefs to create new ones. This is to ongoing process of life and this is why life is so dynamic and alive.

Because no two people in existence have the same exact set of past experiences, we can determine with certainty that when anybody goes through an experience in life, it will result in newer TRUTHs, beliefs and a way of looking at life that is unique to them, and only them. Nothing is able to be exactly duplicated because everybody is unique, everybody is different. Most people will tell you that this is bad, that having too much diversity is somehow going to hurt us, but that is ignorance. We are all so different because this is the Universal Source’s way of living through us and with us. It looks for us to express and live its own life so of course diversity is what it is seeking in order to live for itself.

Living Your Truth

In this life, it is your God-given right to find out what your personal truth is, and then live it to your highest and best ability. There are a few things we need to know about truth to first know how to actually live in harmony and become what we believe is our truth first.

I have said that “good” and “bad” is relative. In the universal eye, it does not exist and things just simply “are”. The judgements of “good” and “bad” are given to events, situations and circumstances through our human experience and eyes, not through the eyes of God.

I have also said that in life we come to believe what we think is our TRUTH based on these life experiences that we go through. In the physical world, we need relativity. We need to be able to go through an experience and say that this is “bad” for us so that we may know what is good. What is good for another, may not be good for you, and what is bad for another may not be bad for you. It all comes down to who you think you are in that moment of TIME; TIME is important because as we gain new life experiences what we think is “good” or “bad” or even “right” or “wrong” will change drastically. These things can even change based on the period of time you are in or your geographical location in the world as different groups of people believe in different things based on what time period and geographical location you are talking about or referring to.

It’s important to remember that all of this is happening at the individual level, that is to say, it is all happening to us personally. This is very much an internal thing, but it is happening to everybody living in this world at once. The sum total of the individual’s beliefs is going to become the dominant way of thinking for the living group of people on this planet. We see that with each new generation, we receive a whole new belief system and way of thinking about and doing things. This is universal consciousness finding out its own TRUTH by way of living through us. Each generation grows up in a world that they disagree with, and as they become older and their elders lose their power in society, they replace the old beliefs with the new ones they have while keeping or slightly modifying the ones that they agreed with. This is really the universes way of living – this is spiritual evolution and the evolution of Spirit – done through us as we are all One consciousness and One Being.

The Universal Truths

While you explore what personal TRUTH means to you, it will eventually come time that you naturally want to try and create things in your own life for yourself and others. I have observed that there are Universal Truths, or Universal Laws that are best to be followed if you want to create anything in your life. I still don’t like to use the word “Law” here because it does not do justice to the point of all of this. I say these are “Laws” only because the universe will not let you break them for long without a sudden realization dragging you back into reality. All you need to know is that we are One, and that acting as though you are a separate being from the rest of creation is going to drop you out of harmony with the creative power and force of the Universe and God. When you are acting as One and in harmony with the force that has driven the creation of all things in the universe, including the universe itself, then you are going to be shielded from failure in whatever it is you are doing.

You are a creator, not a thief. This means that you should be creating from the infiniteness of the universe itself, not trying to steal what another person has. This requires the eventual realization that greed, jealously, anger, lust etc get you no where, fast. When you feel these emotions, then you are coveting what another person has, and you believe you are separate from the very force that has created and sustains you. This leads to the next point:

You already are everything that you want in life. This is perhaps the most challenging one to understand and eventually come to accept. While we are here in the physical realm, it is difficult to see past the appearances of all things. All too many times when we see something, we come to accept it as TRUTH just because that is how it looks. You know that you have discovered the greatness within you when you can look at the appearance of something and say that it is not something that serves you and then quickly and rapidly begin to change it. What you have done in this scenario is look past the appearance of the thing and instead look into yourself. While looking into yourself, you have, based upon your experiences in life, said that this thing is Not Who You Are and instead you have chosen to create something new, a new TRUTH. You are already this TRUTH, that is how you have seen it. You have found this TRUTH and made this decision because you have already searched inside of yourself and found it, now you must manifest it for the world and your own self to see, benefit and enjoy from. In reality, we are all possibilities and all truths. There is no limit to who and what we are and can ever become.

Your creations should never take anything from the life of another, they should always add more value to anothers life then what they have paid for it. This is where I expect people to go crazy, yet anybody who has generated an enormous amount of wealth following the rest of these methods knows this. Under no circumstances will the creative force of the Universe, of God, ever take something from another person in order to give it to you. To think this way is to demonstrate that you do not believe in abundance, it is to demonstrate that you do not believe in the fact that God can provide all things and create all things needed in life. This is to deny the very nature of God.

This is an important one, because you always need to provide more then what people are paying you for your service. I am not saying that you must foolishly give away your goods and services, I am just saying that you must give away more in value then what the person is paying you for. Look at this entire website for example. Am I charging you to read this article right now? No way. And that isn’t going to change unless someday I decide to do some kind of program that I charge for, but even if I ever do that, you can bet the price tag of that program is going to be VERY LOW compared to the information that I will offer inside of it. And I can promise that all of these articles will always remain free even if I do that.

The only reason I am doing this is because of my next point:

The Universe and God is living life through you and with you. This is another doozy to wrap the mind around, but yes, God is living his life through you and yes, you are Divine. Every action you take must guarantee that God and divine awareness is able to express itself more fully through you. Throughout the many religions in the world, we always hear how holy figures have said countless times that they are “God’s instruments”. What they have been trying to tell us is that they have reached enough and high enough awareness to know and to understand and realize that God is actively living through all of us at every moment, of every day. Like I have always said before, my definition of God is, “The sum total of every awareness throughout the universe”. And since God is everything including every atom, human, animal, cloud, drop of water, tear or anything else you can conceive of, he is perfectly aware of the universe from every angle, dimension and perspective you can ever imagine.

In life, you must only seek to increase the expression of God through your own self, using your own special abilities and talents. God isn’t looking for everybody to live in poverty or be deprived of the things they love. If you are excellent at telling stories, then you must have a computer to type them. If you are great at playing guitar, then the guitar will find its way to you. Whatever your talent is, it is your God-given right to have access to the tools that will help you to express God and share this talent with the world as long as you follow the Universal Truths of Creation.

The mistake that I feel most people make is that they believe that they must compete for a limited number of spots in the world for them to share their own unique talents. People feel like they must “make it” before they can share themselves with the world, or with anybody for that matter. That goes against everything we have talked about, as the universe is not looking to reward those who believe they are separate from the rest of creation. The universe is going to give priority to those who just want to share what they love doing the most with others whose hearts are free from greed, competition, jealousy or anger.

In God’s eyes, there is plenty of room for everybody to share their talents and abilities, only each person has a different capacity and way for doing so. The single greatest thing you can do in life is to drop the mentality that there is “not enough” for anything. Realize that the world is ready for your talent, but also that it can take years of hard-work and discipline before you are ready to share yourself in that way.

You can have anything you want, but you must realize that you don’t need to fight others or take what others already have to get it. If you are doing this, stop it because the end results will never be in your favor, because they are not in alignment with the universe itself. When you are not in alignment with the universe, your mind is on a massive power trip and thinks and believes truly and deeply that it understands the universe and God which is something that is impossible for the human mind itself to comprehend all of creation. When you harmonize with the universal creative powers in the methods outlined and described here, then you are unstoppable since your sharing of your own unique abilities and talents will result in other people also realizing their abilities and talents and then sharing them with the world. This is how creation works to further itself and run the world.

One last thing I want to add is a story. Say you are a software designer and you create a piece of software that allows other people to create movies in a certain way that lets them directly upload it to sites like YouTube or FaceBook. Because you have created this tool and shared it with the world, you have helped to further the creation of other people’s God-given expression within. This is what the universe wants, and as the developer and designer of this software, the universe would guarantee you success. Now let’s say another software developer sees what you have done and the success your software has and decides to create his own in order to compete with you and take some of your profits away. The entire motive of this project is to take away from, to steal and to cut into what the other has already done successfully. The result can only be bad. If another software designer has another idea to create another great movie editing program, but only out of good intention and to share something that he believes is invaluable free of greed or competition, then he will also be a success.

Look at how businesses run. One company creates something successful and does amazingly well with it and then everybody and their Grandma has to create a similar product to compete with it. But wait a second, where was this product or service before the first company was successful with it? Oh that’s right, it didn’t exist because all of these companies trying to recreate or create replicas of it or things of a similar nature are only doing it because they know the original version of it is successful and profitable.

Be innovative, not greedy. Stay ahead of everybody else with your own ideas and turn those ideas into valuable products and services that other people will buy because they can use them to better enrich their lives and their own existence and expression of God within.
