Truth

Truth is a subject in which every one has an opinion. Webster’s Dictionary says that truth is (1) the true or actual state of a matter. (2) Conformity with fact, or reality.

A person often expresses their truth in a conversation, but because something happens during the conversation, we can misread what was being said and a big problem can suddenly exist.

How do we express truth in our daily conversations? Do we express ourselves bluntly? Are we too subtle in the way we express our truths? Can this be the source of misunderstanding? Do we “read” into others truth what they really didn’t say or mean? Is it possible that we sometimes miss interrupted the truth? I believe that there is more truth expressed in, conversations, than “meets the eye”.

How often have you been in a conversation with another person and think that they said one thing, when they really said something else? Perhaps, we were distracted for a brief moment and missed something. This causes us to misread the truth that the other person was trying to express during the conversation; we missed the point. Could it be possible that a momentary distraction may put us into a problem situation? It is our responsibility to stop, ask questions, and ponder what it was that we thought was said. In this way, we can get a better understanding of what it was they were trying to convey.

All of us want to be understood and express ourselves so that others understand us, and that we are not misunderstood.

I believe that we are all in the same boat. We just don’t ask questions and we don’t try to understand other people. If a person says to you “you said that...” We MUST be ready to get to the truth by talking it over.

The other day, I emailed a friend that he was acting in a certain way and that “I just didn’t know what to think”. Did I really understand him? Did he really understand me? Was his truth something that we both missed? Possibly, but I really don’t know. He never returned my email, or called me to express his understanding of the situation, so that we could come to an understanding. It is indeed sad when we try to express ourselves to other people and they just don’t understand us. I hope that I am not being too blunt and that I am expressing myself clearly in a truthful way.

I hope that this short article will make you think a little and take the time to make calls, emails or even write a letters to others you may have misunderstood in order that the truth can come out. Maybe a friendship can be saved because they now understand you, and you them. The truth must always be expressed.

The Fourth Dimension

I have been reading a book by Dr. David Y. Cho titled “The Fourth Dimension”. This is an interesting book because it shows how we on this physical plane work with spirit. In the book, Dr. Cho says that the fourth dimension is where the Holy Spirit dwells. He said that the second dimension includes and controls the first dimension, and the third dimension includes and controls the second, so the fourth dimension includes and control the third dimension, producing a creation of order and beauty. The spirit is the forth dimension. Every human being is a spiritual being as well as a physical being. They have fourth dimension as well as the third dimension in their hearts. So men, by exploring their spiritual sphere of the fourth dimension through the development of concentrated visions and dreams in their imaginations, can brood over and incubate the third dimension, influencing and changing it. This is what the Holy Spirit taught me”.

Dr. Cho continued by saying “yoga and Buddhist believers could explore and develop their human fourth dimension, their spiritual sphere; with clear-cut vision and mental pictures of health they could incubate over their bodies. By natural order the fourth dimension has power over the third dimension, and the human spirit, within limitations, has the power to give order and creation. God gave power to human beings to control the material world and to have dominion over material things, a responsibility they can carry out through the fourth dimension. Now unbelievers, by exploring and developing their inner spiritual being in such a way, can carry out dominion upon their third dimension, which includes their physical sickness and diseases”. However, he goes on to say that “the fourth dimension of non-believer (believer is Christ) belongs to Satan; the human spirit joins up with the spirit of the evil fourth dimension, and with the evil fourth dimension they carry out domination over their bodies and circumstances.”

As I read of Dr. Cho’s description of the fourth dimension, I became more and more convinced that he is talking about the same dimension that we Spiritualists work with when we prepare ourselves to give messages. However, as I continued to read, I noticed that Dr. Cho divided up the fourth dimension into the dimension of the Holy Spirit and the dimension of Satan. How can good and evil occupy the same place at the same time? He never talks about that.

As I read the book I began to understand more and more how much Christianity confuses God’s creation by miss interrupting the Bible. Christians use the Bible to back up their, in so many cases, nonsense. They forget that God does spell out in the Bible his plan for humanity and that He is a God of Love. It was through strong persuasion that God worked with the Old Testament nations, even if it meant that those nations had to be captured and sold into slavery to other countries. It is a fact that God has given us total free well and it is our responsibility to use that right for our highest good and the highest good of our fellow man. However, we continuously “fall down on the job” and make mistakes that are beyond understanding. But when we take a careful look at those mistakes, we find that they were for our highest good and that through them we learn and grow spiritually.

Healing also comes from the fourth dimension when in cooperation with the Holy Spirit. By changing our visions and dreams, we carry out dominion over this third dimension material world. Yes it is through our imagination, our visions and dreams”.
