Embracing Truth

If you are anything like me, then there is a good chance that you have been conditioned to some degree to avoid saying things that might inadvertently hurt someone else. I remember receiving certain messages as a child. At the time I simply accepted that this was what all children had to go through and there was nothing I could do to change it. I didn’t really think about the disempowering nature of these messages until I reflected back on them much later in my life.

One major message that comes to my mind is “children should be seen and not heard”. Maybe you’ve heard this one yourself. Clearly it is intended to shame children into silence, to prevent them from speaking whatever is true for them in the moment—especially if that truth brings up discomfort for another person.

The main message I want to deliver today is that everyone is empowered to connect with Truth. If we can quiet our ego-minds enough, we can always open ourselves to the inner wisdom of our Soul. When we make that connection, we can become an open channel for Truth to awaken and empower us in ways that we might not have experienced before. The more we do this, the more we realize that Truth need never be wrapped up in special packaging with colorful bows and fancy paper. As we practice compassion and kindness, we can also understand that Truth is best delivered in its natural state: naked, transparent, and utterly beautiful.

Remember, the old messages you learned as a child don’t need to determine your choices anymore. You are now an adult, with adult powers and adult capabilities that you didn’t have access to when you were a child. I encourage and invite you to embrace Truth as much as possible, share that Truth as compassionately as you can, and be willing to stand in that Truth in every moment.
