THE TRIAD OF BECOMING #5

TRUTH

There is only one truth and that is the power of love … The only real truth is God’s love for us.

"Do not believe a thing because it is said by an authority or because it is said to come from angels, gods, or any inspired source. Believe it only if you have explored it in your own heart, mind and body and found it to be true."  The Buddha

“Wisdom is often at odds with accepted knowledge … that experience itself is not necessarily the inner truth of the matter. 

So one should test what one accepts with the measurements of love and compassion rather than the reality of mass appeal.”  Hillel

Truth is influenced on the right side of the Tree by;

Hope, Faith, Belief, Trust, and Surrender.

 

Those on the left by;

Hopelessness, Doubt, Denial, Disbelief, Resignation and Detachment

(The next blog.)

These two polarities help us shape the path to Truth. Truth can be a slippery slope acccording to the teachings of the Ancestors. It changes according to the circumstances - often those in that present moment. 

When we die and move across the veil between worlds we will be accountable to spiritual truths which are somewhat different from the truths held on this side of the veil. They hold, whether we believe in them, know them and understanding them, or not

Truth is balanced by many factors coming into being through the reconciliation of 

Wisdom vs. Understanding 

as well as being influenced by the 

Triad of Love's  

Judgment vs. Mercy 

which in turn will depend on how well we have managed the 

Triad of Ego's

Attachment vs. Non Attachment

...so that Truth can be actualized in

Kingdom

...the lowest sephira where we work out our individual realities on the planet. All these polarities interact and are never isolated. However, it helps to break them down into three Triads for better understanding and clarification. Mastery of the Triad of Becoming assumes that we have become or are becoming somewhat skillful in navigating the two lower Triads. 

 “Do not consider it proof because it is written in books for a liar who will deceive with his tongue will not hesitate to do the same with his pen.” Maimonides

More than ever so called experts lie in speech, the written word and now even more creatively and sometimes diabolically on the internet and social media. Hitler with the help of his propagandist Joseph Goebbels nearly changed the world order with radio alone. With the power of the internet and A.I. the deception is happening now on a much larger and frightening scale.

 

Reveal always truth and you will be guided about what to do. 

Truth should be modified by love.

If the law does not serve love, do not serve the law. 

(that does not necessarily mean disobey it.)

 God’s love is not a test, God is not a test of love. God loves us unconditionally. Karma is the test and is built as a default into the soul. Spiritual Truth will determine our Karma when we leave the plant and have to reconcile with a spiritual tribunal. 

Truth can also be in the present moment. Sometimes depending on circumstances, and when love is the mediator, the opposite can be true.

Data, dogma, conviction, arrogance, rules and laws about what is supposedly true can block access to Understanding, Wisdom and our Becoming.

 

Concerning truth, we must have the courage to challenge and be challenged. Whenever challenging ceases then accepted knowledge goes unexamined. Teaching becomes proselytizing and learning becomes rote.

  

“Convictions are more dangerous enemies of truth than lies.” Nietzsche

Truth can be ego clinging to its own image.

 

The negative side of Understanding is when it is under the influence of Ego, Narrow (Monkey) Mind and our Shadow. We must be sure to subordinate the three of them when searching for truth. 

We need to take the Truth from whence it comes whether it’s a scripture, a teaching of a sage from another tradition or a beggar in the street. 

 

 Insisting, clinging to one’s opinion does not allow truth to emerge. 

 

Facts of themselves are not the same as truth – they can be used to deceive or mislead. Many wrong conclusions are based on facts that are misused – sometimes with deliberate intent, sometimes out of prejudice, sometimes out of honest error.

There is so much information (portrayed as truth) available to us now through the internet. We should be careful of not losing ourSelves to those truths that may have merit but have little to do with our personal core strength, destiny and mission on the planet.

Be yourself is another truth.

"Be what you is, coz if you be what you aint, you aint what you is." Written on a tombstone in Arizona

 

The most dangerous distraction is the lure of beguiling but essentially extraneous information – be it false or true. More important, is it useful to you, does it inspire, support, advance and enhance who you are and your relationship with God or is it merely speculative, and appealing to your curiosity?

“The ultimate purpose of study (for the source of truth) is not for intellectual acquisition but for the experience of spiritual connection...not to fill the mind but to arouse the soul.” Kabbalah

There are multiples polarities all acting in the present moment which will determine why, if and how Truth arises. The concepts are relatively simple, managing them, however, is challenging. 

Moreover, as one ascends the T.O.L. it does not get easier, it gets harder for a multitude of reasons relating to chameleon like negative polarities inside of us as well as others outside of us. The state of the planet and our human existence at the moment being a huge one.
