Live the truth...

What is meant by "the Truth?"

Truth is most often used to mean being in accord with fact or reality, or fidelity to an original or to a standard or ideal.

 Truth may also often be used in modern contexts to refer to an idea of "truth to self," or authenticity.

The commonly understood opposite of truth is falsehood, which, correspondingly, can also take on a logical, factual, or ethical meaning.

"What is the Truth?"  This question has been argued ever since the Garden of Eden!
Mainly by everyone attempting to prove their own point of view.

 Therefore in " knowing the Truth " - we must look beyond the general appearance and base assertions and toward the spiritual qualities which is not evident at the moment.  
Because the appearance of anything refers only to the outer aspect of a thing or to that which is visible. 
Yet the scriptures says:
" Judge not according to the appearance..."

It takes careful thought to discriminate between true and false -
 because false things  are often cleverly disguised and presented to our senses as being true! (Which is where most if not all lies originate!)

Every person has a God given intelligence with an intuitive perception which distinguishes between true and false, in all phases of their life!
** Unless they have given it up and sold out to the evil system of Satan which operates here upon the earth today!

^{32 "}And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."  John 8:32

Thus to know the truth in situations or life in general; we need to use part of our Spiritual Unfoldment which is where we can gain greater Understanding making it easy to direct our thinking!  
*** Spiritual Unfoldment is an unveiling of the patterning's of the mind and attachments that cause us to lose sight of, or to experience our true Divine Nature - our Real Self.

 Living the Truth, as consistently as possible, improves everything in our world - including our facial expression... 
 Have you ever known a person whose very countenance seemed radiant with light and whose presence gave you a spiritual uplift?
 Then you would be seeing the true Inner Light of that one, and you being uplifted by the Truth, as it manifested through a human channel!

The Truth has always existed - but we have not always understood how to apply it in solving the problems of life!

 Because we have not always been free; we have been imprisoned by our lack of knowledge and understanding! 

 We must KNOW THE TRUTH and Live the Truth - or we will live the consequences...

It is our Inter Self, which is always spiritually minded, and seeks to guide the Outer (or personal) Self. When the outer self disregards that Inner Guidance, then life becomes chaotic, and we are imprisoned by our own fears and beliefs.

" To be spiritually minded is Life and Peace."  Romans 8:6

In other words : to be spiritually minded means that we should Know the Truth about persons, places, and things or situations regardless of existing appearances!

We are to " hold fast to that which is good." 1 Thess 5:21
If we keep our thoughts centered upon God-like belief; then no matter how difficult or impossible it may seem at any particular moment; you will be able to follow the Truth of God' s Word!

 
  The Truth may be defined as the Christ Consciousness, or as the Bible describes Him as the great "I AM." 

 Long ago this question of Truth was answered; by the words of the greatest Teacher that the world ever known: 

 " I AM the way, the Truth and the Life. "  John14:6
