Living In Truth (Originally Published 12/6/2022)

In one of my mentoring sessions, I was asked “what does it mean to stand in your truth?” Standing in one’s truth is the core premise of my conscious change coaching. We are currently experiencing the misinformation segment of the Information Age spectrum that the planet has been morphing into since the early 1960’s.
The sixties ushered in a shift of many social norms; civil rights, the women’s liberation movement (a civil right as well), sexuality (the birth control pill and acceptance of pornography), music (lead by The Beatles and Woodstock in 1969), drugs – both legal and illegal. Even the fashion culture changed with the decline of the suit and new styles based around jeans for BOTH men and women. The counterculture “trends” of the 1960’s developed a cultural explosion that set the stage for the New Age Revolution for change that the entire planet, not just the western world is experiencing today.
The definition of truth however is immutable! Truth is truth and no counterculture revolution will ever be able to alter the truth even though virtual reality and Artificial Intelligence tries its darndest. One and one equals two. Always and forever; an indisputable fact. Back to the above question, what does it mean to live in one’s truth?
A man mourns the loss of his relationship with his three daughters almost as if he’s wearing a badge of courage. Truth is, he lost that privilege of father-daughter relationship and all that goes with it when he left their mother for another woman when his daughters were all under the age of twelve. Another woman decries about the loss of her beautiful white angora cat – using the grief as a crutch even – when in fact she gave the cat away because she was not really up to the rigors of pet ownership.
Standing in one’s truth starts with seeing the truth of what we do and taking responsibility for the consequences. The father of the three daughters emotionally deserted them when he left his girls and wife to be with another woman Under the age of twelve, the girls were most in need of a strong family bond that included both their birth mother and father. Man up I say. Be truthful with the havoc past decisions and actions portend. My mother was one of those three little girls whose father left, and she carried the pain of her father’s desertion (and even passed some of that grief to me) to her dying day. Not living in one’s truth has consequences not only for the untruthful but ripples out around the untruthful actions affecting many – especially in the case of media and others with a microphone in their hand or a pen full of ink.
Reminding the world that you “lost” your beautiful cat when you gave the cat away is NOT living in your truth.
Bottom line is this: when you speak, are your words truthful? Do you tell your boss you are done with a project when you are not? Do you mis-inform your spouse about your whereabouts to avoid a conversation? Are your customers seeing the truth about what your products really do? Do you speak untruth to manipulate others to get your way?
This “new” age in which we have embarked will go down in history as the “information age” thanks to the little invention in 1947 of a semi-conductive device used to twitch power, known as the transistor. Today from the invention of the transistor we have computers, cell phones and the internet that offers information on anything at any time, both truthful and untruthful.
Misinformation or information? Untruth or truth? The choice will ALWAYS be yours. To live in one’s truth means just that. Bite the bullet for just thirty days and speak nothing but what you know to be true. Quit whining about what you see going on around you UNLESS IT’S YOUR TRUTH because if you don’t, eventually it will be your truth. Speak misinformation and it will eventually be your reality.
With that kind of power, isn’t it really easier to just be honest and let the honesty rather than the dishonesty rock your world?
AFFIRMATION: As I speak, I sow.
P.S. I love how these blogs ruminate around in my mind until one person mentions a word that ties all of my random thoughts together. In this case it was Brian’s use of the word “misinformation” that reminded me that with the onset of the information age comes the full spectral ride between information (truth) and misinformation (untruth) at the other end. Where you and I have a role in the spectrum is a matter of choice. But this I know. What we give out is what returns to us by the Universal Laws of governance. I choose truthful information and I hope you’ll join the movement to do the same.
Living in one’s truth (not as easy as it sounds) is rewarded with both spiritual and material blessings.
