"Sounds like a Circus Fun House mirror room to me - wonder where 'reality' lies in all that."
Which level of reality do you wish to look at? Here's something I wrote in 1993 (much has transpired since these words we're written), as apart of an article I was going to publish? However, I wished to discuss it with other "minds" at one time! And no this is not the STS / OTS showdown that I've been reading about ... Although certain groups "energies" may like to make it so. The Hatfield's and McCoy's have found their "balance" in terms of what and how teachings are given. Simply ask the "God and Goddess (dualistic polarity)" to protect you from all imbalance (regardless of source)... I simply would like some feed back on this objective place we have choosen to balance the Hatfield & McCoy's (which has lasted this cycle) symbology. With your above statement I can see your "humor" is well along that road! Again, that is based on a personal perception ... is it not?
I have really not read much of this sites material on "reality". Is there something that you can direct me too, for a quick overall generalized sense? Anyway, this is part of my journey, that I WROTE FOR MYSELF back in the early 90's.

PERSONAL TRUTH
"You will become that which you seek."
Relating to a person at a workshop a few weeks ago I realized something about "personal power." A sense of greatness comes from giving. That particular day, I really felt as if I was helping somebody. It made me feel wonderful that I had knowledge inside me to actually help another person. One realizes that the only true power in this life (probably in the universe) is the power of giving... "The power of love."
Wow. What a concept. And where had I heard that before? Helping or giving to someone, while expecting nothing in return, is self-empowering. All that matters is the welfare of the person before you. I have given to people before, but this was different. I knew of this truth for some time but never really felt it before. It had always been an intellectual concept ...an intellectual exercise in spirituality. I felt that if I learned the process and the right procedures, the healing would come and I could get on with whatever it was that I was supposed to be doing. But this experience was from the heart. Now, you can read this and understand this, but it does not mean a damn thing until you truly know this feeling. All I knew is that I wanted more of this feeling and I wanted it now.
I now realized that I wanted to move from physical sensing to spiritual knowing! My God-a-left-brain-intellectual-type breaks the heart chakra barrier (News at 11!). Eureka! There it was. I now knew one of the main reasons why I was here. This is why I came to earth. If I may quote from the book of John (John Lennon)-a line of his lyrics sums it up for me-"and in the end, the love you have is equal to the love you send."
The last couple of months I have been learning about "truth." Truth... is a very personal subject. This is a personal subject because truth is different for each individual on the planet. And make no mistake: be very careful and absolutely certain you really want to know when you ask the universe to show you truth. My truth was "the truth hurts (ouch:)." What is truth"? I used to feel that if this reality (this dimension) was a testing, learning, and teaching ground that we chose to incarnate into learn, teach and grow, then what was the reality we came from? Could we click our heels together and go home? Was Dorothy right- "Kansas, here I come"? Are Sananda and the "boys" hanging around earth in a higher octave of vibration that normal human physical senses cannot detect? Is that reality more real? I would suspect that in that dimension, "things" truly are real, and things are as they should be. And if that reality were more real, then what is this reality...false? What happens to any conclusions, in terms of truth, based on a reality other than the original and true one where love rules and the individuals know this? What then happens to so-called "truth" as we know it if we have come from somewhere more real? If one believed this, would that, by default, then make any perceptions based on "truth" in this dimension consequently "false"? So, the obvious conclusion to me now had to be "truth was false"! Am I making any spiritual headway yet? Did I mention earlier that I was going to heal from the heart...from my centre of knowingness? Off on another tangent through the labyrinth, am I?
One, however, would have to assume that God's truth is constant and pervasive throughout the universe, no matter what dimension or reality you're dealing with (this, to me, is a given). The trick, ultimately, is trying to recognize God's truth. This would perhaps help explain why human truth is constantly changing. What is "truth" one day becomes altered or untrue the next, because truth is burdened by our expectations and the limitations of our physical perceptions.
Interestingly enough, by the time we reach our goal or truth, the expectation does not fit anymore because we have grown in the process. Generally, though not always, we will have to find a new truth. Maybe this is why truth for one individual is not the same for another. Perhaps we each need to individually pull ourselves forward into truth-probably kicking and fighting against ourselves (our high selves) in the process. How can this be if there is only God's truth?
Well, rightly or wrongly, we all have our own truth...our own path to enlightenment that we ourselves have devised. This path, although it takes many forms, ultimately leads to the same place...the God source. We are essentially the directors in our own play (Shakespeare was so right). We can make it hard or we can make it simple...the choice is ours. The key is how we react to any given choice.
There is never any wrong choice. It's the lesson of our reaction to the reality of the path or choice we have chosen that determines whether or not we need to have that lesson again or a new one (learning situation) brought forward. Having passed through the lesson of the day, we have moved ever so closer by vibrating slightly faster. There are many roads and they all offer the lessons we need at that given moment. We are always in the right place. This is no fault, but instead a gift-a great gift-for in our search for knowing (with Mountain Journey or any other daily journey's one takes).
....... it's a long journey .................
