Investigate Your Thinking

Is It True?

These days more and more people understand the simple fact that “Truth” is almost always relative. Each person has a truth within them that affects their life in terms of career, health, habits, and so much more. But it’s not always easy to see where the course of true action lies. The situation is further complicated since, in the information age, the acknowledgment of personal truths is misinterpreted to mean there is no larger “Truth.”

Meditation provides the link between the two. It is a time and space to investigate without necessarily thinking. Rather, you begin to experience to what degree a potential choice feels true. When it’s just you and the mirror of your soul, personal truth crosses the divide, merging with the universal. When you weigh an action, that little voice inside you - the “Yes I will do that” or “No I won’t do that” - is your soul speaking. Cultivate this relationship. Trust that straightforward, quiet voice. If you do, all your actions will be true for you, and for everyone else.
