5 Misconceptions about truth & lies

Lots of people reflect on what's good for them or not.  Its not always straightforward to distinguish between truth and lies.  Consider these 5 ideas which may prompt you to reflect on your own misconceptions:

1) How do you feel?  If you act purely based on your sense of truth, then you would expect to feel nothing but love, happiness, inner peace and contentment. If you are permitting your mind to wander, to believe or defend injustice, suffering or rationalize discomfort, then you  hypothesize the opposite of love about society.  You are also lying to yourself that it doesn't matter.

2) Where does drama originate?  Any drama or crisis you experience is grounded in lies, mainly about yourself.  It begins when you decide you aren't something you really are or, you choose to ignore what you want to be based on what you decide you should be.  If you evolved to believe you are perfect, lovable and nurture unwavering faith without lies, your life would be very different.

3) Can you identify what you're not?  Any time you focus attention on what you're not, or make life choices that aren't true to your passion, you build on a false sense of self.  The curious thing is humans tend to build a on lies to rationalize whay what they do makes sense, even when they don't believe it does at all. 

4) Why might you only "try?"  This word means to anticipate failure.  If you have faith in the idea you will "try," you believe you aren't up to snuff or will inadvertently fail.  To believe in an outcome will invite just that.

5) What is your point of view? The story you convey about yourself isn't necessarily generalizable.  A particular experience may apply to you, but not to other people.  You can defend what you want to believe in your own mind, but not impose it on others. Your truth can become someone else's lie if you force an idea.

6 Steps to explore your emotional matrix

Many authors claim our conscious perceptions and reasoning minds only play minor roles in our true abilities to explain or resolve emotion. Let's say an underlying feeling substrate connects us all, a matrix invisible to the normal eye, yet sensed by everyone from birth.  Does conventional learning teach us to ignore or miscontrue our experience?

All human beings have untapped power and access to deeper self-understanding. We each create an 'emotional matrix' or template as a guide. This is shaped by our vibes. The wider grid organizes normal energy all around you and expands your awareness when you're ready to discern its power. Consider 6 steps to better understand your emotional matrix;

1) Review history. Man's early evolution used the mind to create and expand an energy field. This matrix is believed to have intensified through trance-induced states of a tribe. These people engaged in rituals with repeated rhythm and patterns that resonated at a specific frequency. Channelled energy shifted and linked into the earth's energy matrix.

2) Listen to shamans. Sensitive tribesman emerged. They intuited locations at crossing points of energy in the earth's electromagnetic field. These shamans sensed how concentrated energy forms a matrix as experiences are repeated. They intuit energy fluctuates based on the intensity of emotion that creates it.  To project emotion at a point catalyzes our thoughts and feelings which are then captured and recorded as energy. The impact of a 'matrix' depends on how many people project similar energy, and on the location. Certain geographic areas have natural concentrations of energy.  Why?

3) Consider Science.  Measurable findings reveal grid points. Where two or more 'lines of force' converge and cross, the earth's meridian lines form strong channels of electromagnetic energy. Humans with heightened sensitivities localize and study them. Group experiments have ensued to strengthen a matrix of emotional energy at chosen locations. Vibrations were recorded. The powerful magnetic centre of an emotional matrix attracts people with the same frequency of thought.  Similar events resonate. So?

4) Re-examine your habits. Humans base their identity in their thoughts and actions. The impact of each habit depends on the nature of emotion we receive when we intially have a new experience. Our stronger emotions lead us to repeat activities until we form a new energy matrix for a new habit. You sense the matrix whenever you leave a “comfort zone”. Negative habits seem like “a vicious circle.” Have you ever felt trapped? Patterns become repetitive. Without deeper awareness and focus on what we're doing and why, we instinctively continue as before, whether it feels good or not. What then? 

5) Rethink paranormal events. At certain locations where the earth’s lines of force actually cross, energy can become so intense that an actual 'playback' of an earlier emotional event would be witnessed by someone whose mind was at the right frequency.  Has this ever happened to you? How would your senses explain? Would you intuit a deja-vu? A time warp? What about a supernatural vision? You may be prompted to see it as 'paranormal,' or out-of-the-ordinary. Reports of experiences at concentrated energy points range from mild flashes to 'really strange' or 'indescribable' phenomena.

6) Connect with Humanity. The emotional matrix is like a kind of 'magnetic recording.' It grows out from the surroundings of a given location by the intense emotions of the collective mind.  How you choose to feel contributes to form your emotional matrix. Yet, it interacts with a much larger picture. You connect, disconnect, attach and detach to everyone everywhere. Where you are, how people think, shape your matrix, even now.

Analysis of dream submitted by Anonymous in Melbourne, Australia.

Dream- Someone familiar was in jail. I was permitted to visit.  At my first visit, I saw the jailer and brought a handful of candy on a white tissue on my hand.  I sensed the person behind bars didn't feel he should be there.  At my second visit, a spirit appeared in front of me and passed me folding scissors.  He opened them, closed them, gave them to me and disappeared.  I took them to the confined man.  He became less disheartened, severed something attached to himself, and exited his cell door. The jailer showed no resistence.

Predomiant Emotions- wounded, helpless, sadness, fear, hesitant, yet, encouraged

Interpretation- You restrain yourself with misguided beliefs.  It may relate to something you want, but fear you won't get or don't deserve.  Its up to you to examine and negate each excuse.  You may find it useful to visualize each excuse as a physical obstacle blocking your path.  Visualize surpassing every hurdle to open your mental thought cage.

This dream invites you to raise awareness and sharpen discernment.  In other words, identify which thoughts inspire and motivate you as well as those that bring you down.  As you arrive at the point where you have unwavering faith in yourself, doubt dissolves and doors of opportunity open to you. The more decisions you make that strengthen your energy and self-respect, the more you will experience real freedom and happiness.

Imagine what it will require for you to nurture faith based on love and not fear.  You create dreams to rationalize what you have been taught and what you assume you know.  Some of your dreams are self-restricting, due to mindsets you create.  You have choices about how to exspend energy. You don't have to choose to be a prisoner of your emotions.  Draining emotions echo fear.  Thoughts that energize you stem from love.

What did you accept and believe about yourself?

You may not feel free to be who you are.  Ask yourself whether you feel trapped by expectations and images you assume are yours.  What you believe about yourself doesn't all resonate with your soul.  Some traits you have adopted aren't really you.  What you sense is you isn't necessarily the truth.  Its simply what you choose to believe right now. 

Many people consciously reinforce self-judgment.  When you do this yourself, do you recognize it?  Its always possible to raise awareness and learn to dissolve inappropriate beliefs and feelings.  What would happen if you praised yourself more and judged less?

Throughout your life, you have met people who have shaped your self-image with their comments about your strengths and weaknesses.  The emotions evoked within yourself tell you a lot about what you may secretly believe or disbelieve.  These questions invite reflection on which parts of yourself evolved out of love and which ones grew from fear;

1) What kinds of words have people used to describe you?

2) Which character traits have come to stand out inside you?

3) How do qualities you notice within grow out of external comments?

4) Why do you feel a gap between traits you have and those you would like to have?

5) To what lengths would you go to change and live up to expectations?
