A price is paid when any human being or society shuts out truth. Especially today, as humanity faces the ability to effect its own demise, it is vital that each one of us open our hearts to all truths and tools that could help move us towards Unity and Peace-- and that we welcome all Grace that can lead us in that direction--- for it will take the moving of mountains-- even, perhaps, "Something More" than what is offered in the human arsenal to bring us Home to peace...
That "Something more", we suggest, will be found heart to heart and in the magic and messages of Spirit...
The first principle of personal and spiritual growth is the Independent Investigation of truth:
A better world must be built on truthseeking and critical thinking, and the "true-hearted souls"
are the essence of the vital transformation that must take place for the healing of our world.
The Work of Every Heart
A truth- centered heart is the foundation of self- esteem, self- respect, and much more: the vital ability to tell the truth in our relationships and doings, our understanding of the ways of the world and of the human heart, and our part in the grand scheme of things--
We are affected in every possible way by our connection or mis-connection with the truth of self and the heart of life. Caught up in the "dailies" of life, we find ourselves in a cycle, pursuing rest and comfort in denial and clinging to the views of those who raised us and influence us now: our peers, the media, and popular American culture. We seek satisfaction in something outside of ourselves which will never fill the void left by Spirit and an empty, yearning heart.
Healing begins in seeking our own true needs and values, "mining" and sharing our inner truth: mind, emotions, and Spirit --what looks good as well as what doesn't. The road to self knowlege includes finding answers within our own hearts, that points the way to victory over self and those conditions that have held us back in life, relationships, and true success. We become more authentically who we are: re-united in the peace of contentment with ourselves and our place in the world, for the truthful heart has nothing to hide. A better world must be built on such a foundation.*
"Trustworthiness... is the door of security for all that dwell on earth... It is as a stronghold to the city of humanity, and as eyes to the human temple."*²
Where there is truth and trustworthiness, there you will find a society of peace. Without it, there can be no true safety...
One Heart at a Time
In the same way that we are affected by the heart's misconnection-- our World is affected. Each of us must look within to deepen and expand whatever Positive, truthful, Heart-and- Spirit Connection we have, and never let up! The personal rewards of this pursuit are enormous, for in this way we are truly "fed" with the essential "food of the Heart" and get the feeling of being whole and complete.
In all these matters, there are many questions and dialogue to be pursued...
Heart to Heart
Just as a truthful heart is the foundation for a healthy life, so is it the foundation for a better world. Such a heart has awakened to and surrendered its own private judgements and prejudices and is open to a diversity of peoples, opinions, perspectives, and new options. In the heart free from fear and self- motives, truth (whether "agreeable" or not) is at last given a "fair chance", and people of all cultures and beliefs are more readily embraced...
Unity
and peace begin as we drop the barriers within and between our
hearts; and all that which blinds us to the most hopeful, powerful and
unifying forces of Spirit.
"Truthfulness is the foundation of every human virtue."*-- Baha'u'llah
