Thought of the Moment:
It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets
the credit.

What is the moment of Truth?
I first leaned of this term reading what Ernst Hemingway - wrote about the moment of Truth;
It is what a Matador experiences it in the bull ring. It is a brief moment of total clarity when only the absolute truth prevails... It is during this time when there is only the enraged Bull pawing and snorting looking straight at the Matador. In this brief period of time, the man has only one thing upon his mind - the Bull.... He does not hear the roaring crowd nor any other thing in the stadium!
At this point it is only Man and Bull - nothing else exist. There are no abstractions or any other thing that has the Matador's attention. This is called " the moment of Truth " ...
Later in life I came to see or recognize some of these brief " Moments of Truth "
These came from Divine inspirations of Truth either in the Scriptures or else through brief personal experiences.. I.E. The " Word of God "...
It is during these times that people can come to this brief absolute moment of Total Truth!
We each can and do at isolated times experience these " Moments of Truth! "
It has been called a point when " Time stood Still " or a time when " your entire life flashed before your eyes " or else you had experienced an actual " Miracle "....
These times of brief inspirational " moments of Truth " are brief and unannounced.
These points in time come unexpectedly and often with out any input from you. It is never desired or planned, or orchestrated - " The moment of Truth " is exactly when and where you come faced to face with the Absolute Truth of this universe.
It is never masked or altered, nor does it come any other way than just the plain unadulterated Truth
- plain and simple!
If you have not experienced this yet - then perhaps it will come at some point in your life!
Be prepared to recognize it and understand it when you are given a brief period of time very unique in all existence... A Moment of Truth!
