It is said that the truth will set you free. Free from what?
Free from the fear of death, free from the fear of distrust, free from the fear of limitation; in short free from suffering.
This is not to be longed for in some after-life, but here and now. To be free from limitations is to be free from illness, free of poverty, free from loneliness. All this is available to you if you will see through the 'perceived' untruth, that which the Eastern religions call illusion, to the creative Force within and this requires introspection (looking within), perseverance and honesty but that endeavour brings with it a reward for perseverance that knows no boundaries.
There is what man calls 'God' in all things and in order to find that God, you must work with the situation you are in NOW. To turn your back on the NOW is to ignore the Divine Energy that formed it. For the challenge is there in order to learn and return to unity. Within every problem there rests a golden opportunity. This 'problem' or illusion of a problem is supported and sustained by that which we call God and it does have meaning and purpose.
Do not be intimidate by the imperfections of man and the world we live in. If the world were perfect where would we go to learn?
Such imperfections are there for a purpose. They give us the opportunity to learn. No matter what occurs in your personal or collective world, there is only one question: How do YOU respond to this event? Are you going to follow the path to fear, negativity and despair or are you going to follow the path of love. This choice is always at the bottom of very challenge you individually and collectively face.
If there were such a thing as 'sin', which there is not it would be despair, for it is a denial of the God Force within you.
Once again, you do not have to do anything to acquire this creative energy within you, it is your birthright and inheritance and you use it all the time.
"Godliness" cannot be acquired by humanity. It is humanity. There are no separations. Know yourself and you will know God. This is what is meant by "Self-realisation".
