[tmtranscripts] truth, belief, and judgment

[Rob Davis]

Truth is a value transcending material fact. Truth partakes of universal spiritual values. That is why, when you encounter the truth, you experience it not only in your mind, but in your heart as well. Truth has a harmony about it; a ring to it. It may be experienced deeply, honestly, sincerely, as if you were experiencing a reality as sure as any you have known.

Much confusion fills your minds. The teachings of your planet, of your culture, of your time, are evolved wisdom. Truth lies beneath them, and may or may not correlate with your beliefs. A belief is a formulation of your human mind. It may or may not be based in fact. It may or may not be true. In fact, your beliefs are frequently more of a hindrance to your seeing and finding truth than a help. It is essential for you, then, to become as aware as possible of the beliefs that you hold in your mind, to examine them, one by one, as you become aware of them, and hold them up to the mirror of truth. We would have you learn to break through the vale of self-deception to see reality in a clear light. It is our mission to bring you light. Many of the beliefs that you hold, you hold as self-protective devices to give pseudo-meaning to your experience of material reality. You fear that to give up your beliefs would leave you with nothing. But to surrender them to the truth will give you more peace and light than you can imagine. 

Primarily examine the beliefs that you hold in your mind regarding your brothers and sisters. Hold them up to the light of love and see if they stand. All beliefs not based in love are false beliefs. We would have you examine your prejudices. Do not separate yourselves into groups of "us" and "them," for all creatures were made by the same Father. And all mortals possess a fragment of the Father within themselves. Each being you encounter presents you with an avenue for seeing the Father. All are loved equally by him. All have access to his grace. Each of us may look upon one another as if we were looking through Michael's eyes. So search your hearts and see whether you judge one another by appearance, by categories, by status, by class, by gender, by race, by achievement. These are not worthy standards. They are screens that prevent you from seeing the reality of the being before you. "Love one another as I have loved you," our Master teaches. Pray for this gift. 

Do not hold on to God, but allow him to flow freely through you in his outreach to your fellows. Let go of judgment. For judgment will surely lead you into error and a narrowness of perception. As you begin to look at one another with eyes of love and forgiveness, compassion and kindness, your hearts will more freely receive the blessings of love that the Father bestows on each of you, on each of us. Truth is that which is in alignment with universal law. Righteousness consists of using the law rightly, that is to say, using it with the motivation of love for one another. "As you have done it," said the Master, "to the least of these, my brethren, so have you done it unto me." Celebrate that within each being there is the fragment of the Father. There is an evolving soul. Seek to recognize this part of one another. And judge not another being by his system of beliefs or his degree of temporal attainment in any matter. Study the life of the Master. Pay attention to the way he interacted with the beings of this planet.
