Truth or Consequences                                                           November 09, 2009

The goal of many people is the search for their life purpose. The “truth” that I have been given is that we all have the same life purpose. How amazing! There is a significant importance to understanding this. I have been Divinely given the answer to the question, “what is our life purpose”? The answer is truth. That is the same answer for everyone. The greatest thing that we can do for our growth is to be completely honest with ourselves to our core. Easier said than done! How many times can you honestly say you have been dishonest to yourself and therefore to others?

What keeps us from this inner truth and hence our life purpose? Fear. What is the consequence of not realizing this truth? The perpetuation of more fear and more dishonesty. How are we dishonest to ourselves? We are living a lie when we create a reality that takes a different path than our own inner truth. This path may lead us to a life based in an illusion of happiness that is fed by alcohol, drugs, antidepressants and misdirected, unsatisfied relationships.

Truth is our life purpose. It is also the avenue that takes us to the manifestation of our personal reality. A very wise, dear friend of mine, that I consider my sister, recently told me that there are only two things that children need. They need to be loved and they need truth. It is that simple. How complicated we make it! How do we give them truth? By living it ourselves. They learn by watching our actions. They more often discern our truth before we realize it for ourselves. They observe and absorb our truth by what we do, not just by the words we speak. Are you living your truth and do you strive to be that truth in every moment? It takes great courage to do this. This courage walks you past the fear of judgment from others and into the reality of your divine connection to the One Source of all creation.

How often do you witness someone construing or manipulating the truth? If you can think of a time when you have seen this in yourself or someone else, you will clearly realize that it is done out of fear; the fear of accountability. It is often easier to choose to become a victim and blame it on someone else, than admit to yourself and others that you are responsible for your actions. In this way, you are allowing someone else to be responsible for you and you have now lost parts of yourself to another. The fear of accountability is the umbrella that covers all other fears that are associated here. They all come back to this. They all are demanding personal truthful action, which is very difficult. That is why most people avoid it.

We cannot hold anyone else accountable for our fears. If you lie, blame, deny, avoid, make excuses or defend your choices, then you are not standing in your truth and taking ownership of you. Beyond the truth, it is only an illusion. Where did we learn to be fearful of this? We learned it as children. If we were so blessed to be called on our actions and expected to correct our mistakes, then we would have learned that there was nothing to be afraid of and we were given the gift of self-respect. However, if we were taught shame and guilt along with it, we then learned fear. Remember, shame and guilt hold the slowest vibration, where as love, joy, peace and then enlightenment hold the fastest, in that order.

It all begins as a child within the family structure. This is the school that teaches us to love ourselves, to know ourselves, to stand in our truth. Siblings blame siblings; parents blame each other, they blame their children and adult children blame their parents. How many children observe parents with addictive behaviors that speak the truth of placing blame outside of them? They are not taking responsibility and therefore are not teaching their children the truth about personal awareness and accountability. How many children witness another parent enabling and allowing that behavior? What truth are they learning and how often do they repeat the addiction or become the enabler in the relationships they choose? How many generations continue the pattern?

The acceptance of truth is so painful that the need for antidepressants has become epidemic. They are even being prescribed for our dear children and our beloved animals. I do support specific cases that may need these medications short term, but I do believe that they are used too frequently and for too long, without the additional support of finding the cause of the depression. In truth, the medications numb the difficult pain of awareness, stopping the desire to end the pain through the process of conquering the fear with truthful acceptance.

Is your heart crying right now? Is it screaming that the madness needs to stop? It needs to stop at the level of adult accountability and the action of truth and love for our children. They are the future of humanity. They deserve the opportunity to live their life purpose of truth. They instinctively know this and are trying to teach their parents. The “sins of the father” brings us to a point of awareness that will not allow us to remain unaware. And when you are aware, you are now held to the responsibility of truthful action. Once the awareness has hit, there is no turning back. You will now run and eventually dance with joy within this truth. The feeling of celebration is at hand; the celebration of internal peace, ease, pure joy and finally enlightenment for all eternity. What were we thinking avoiding this happiness by choosing fear!

There is a delicate balance here and it deserves our full attention to every word we choose and every action we perform. I suggest that you seek your life purpose of truth through the divine purpose of the awareness of all that you portray yourself to be. Slow yourself down to a level that you allow time to ponder and consider what you want your truth to be. Do it daily as often as possible and it will soon become a habit and the avenue to a truthful life.

It is my choice and with great love in my heart to hold space for these truths and for your awareness of them within your family and your lives. It is a time for full forgiveness. This forgiveness will release you into an awareness of accountability that will guide your actions into the truth-filled choice to always do the next right thing. This truth and this action is your life purpose. May you fearlessly step into your rightful place in the family of all humanity and the celebration of the awareness of a peaceful life driven by your soul purpose to be the energy of truth.

Many blessings, love and light,

Joyce

In Honor of my Mother, who taught the truth in so many ways!
