The Problem: Our world suffers from a lack of truth.
Are you reading and seeing truth, or are you reading and seeing force attempting to make a lie seem like truth? Truth is power in itself and requires no outside force to be true - be it gun, repeated sayings, violence or force to be true. Force is "an attempt" to move a non-truth, a lie, or half-truth into the more powerful position held by truth. Non-truths are always discovered and so is the motivations behind the spreading of lies.
The easiest first way to spot a non-truth, lie or deception is to ask yourself: Is it true (or good) for all? For something to be true, it must be true for ALL - anything else is propaganda, advertising, manipulation, opinion, or even conjecture.
The second question which leads to an well-founded answer is to discover the real motivations behind the statement you are hearing or the words you are reading.
What is the motivation for the projection of words? Is it to help or hurt someone? Is it to lift someone up or tear them down? Is it to self aggrandize or to provide needed wisdom? You get the point. Someone's motivation reveals all.
So as the tongue reveals a person's mind, someone's actions reveal their heart. Are you listening or watching? Hopefully both as one confirms the other. This is the reason why politics is a useless means to lift society as a whole. Far better to use the truth tests and be able to say "this Bill is good for all." Most are not good for all - and some only benefit a very select few, always at the expense of the many. The list is endless and your world is a direct result of failing to hold people accountable for truth. It is still going on and some have "drank so much kool aid they couldn't spot truth if it knocked on their door." They fail to ask the hard questions for they don't want to know the answer or are happy believing distortion. Either way it speaks volumes to the lack of their personal integrity - and the weakness of their character.
The same can be said for the News Media. They no longer seek truth. They seek agendas. Agendas which have been revealed to be so one sided, so diabolical, that their form of "the news" is pure propaganda with sinister agendas. I am surprised "good people who value the truth" have not tarred and feathered them out of town for their lies. In an earlier time, good people would have made an example of the outliers. banned them from the tribe and shunned or rebuked them into submission or repentance. Nowadays the liers receive medals.
The third test is something I am working on mastering and I am making solid progress thanks to God and a book called "Power and Force" by Dr. David Hawkins.
This test is both spiritual and physical. The spiritual side is what some people call "the still small voice of the Holy Spirit." The physical side is based on advanced kinesiology - as it appears that one can ask God of the universe "for the absolute truth of something, and get an instant physical reply. I have done it and got positive results.
Getting a direct physical feedback for "asking about the truth of something or a Yes/No question" can be very powerful. It could keep you from making a million dollar (or) life degrading mistake. It can lead into the right business, a job change, a physical move or keep you from starting the wrong business, getting involved with the wrong person, etc. It can help you choose.
I wish I had mastered the process 17 years ago. It would have saved me a recent anguish. I will master it - for it will direct my steps in my immediate future and my remaining years. I will teach it to my son.
By now we all should know that "Truth is the foundation to all knowledge." All knowledge worth knowing is based on truth. The best gift we can give someone is knowledge based on truth. Who wants to share or learn a bunch of lies or altered truths? The simple answer is "people with an agenda" or "Parrots who have nothing better to do with their time."
Back to the motivation. No agenda - high possibility of truth. Lift people up? Likely a good source of truth.
These are the lessons we need to teach our young and demand from those around us. Our high integrity should demand only truth enter our world. If it is not truth, then we should shun away from it, or expose it for what it is, or send them away. Lies. Lies are still lies and have no place in my world. How about yours?
This Christmas we need truth as our anchor in the storm. That truth is God was born, taught truth to scholars as a child, talked about His Father, His Home in Heaven, His Purpose and His Motivation for coming here - to die on a wooden cross so we could know the truth of eternal salvation and receive the Holy Spirit. High motivations that only the God of the Universe and all mankind could muster.
Ask yourself the three (3) tests and see if you can spot a lie in God's Holy Bible. I can't - and no one (not scolar, scientist or profit) has proven otherwise in 2020 years.
I would say that qualifies as truth in a world where real truth is like gold....scarce.
Share Truth...start right here.
