Honesty. Honesty! (?) Honesty?
Honesty, hmmm, what an interesting subject. Recently, I was watching an episode of Crash on my PC and there was a police officer giving his confession to a Priest, and I thought to myself – wow, that confession process looked so out of place. I remember growing up a child in a Catholic family and going to confession and Church, etc. I had a lot of thoughts about it all. Though I was very interested (in the general sense) to religions and spirituality, I felt that Catholicism was spiritually incongruent. It seemed like an incubator for hypocrisy. However, I AM not here to express a critique on Catholicism or anyone or anything else. Actually, I was thinking about the history of confession and from what I was told it was once given in a more public configuration – instead of a private confessional. However, a few wealthy ones influenced the change. I guess they wanted to keep their mores secret.
As I have been keeping fairly quiet and to myself, of late, I have realized that while quiet and solo time is extremely valuable, we as Angelic/humans were meant to be with other Angelic/humans. We were given our capacities of spirit, mind, emotion and body to Love with. We’re here to share Love with others – many others – all others.
Man had built himself a suedo-loving kind of existence somewhere along the line. The human mind built itself a suedo-life that has been keeping itself very busy and very separated from other people. Think about it. We created excuses to be together with others. Doing the “something” has been precursor for just “Being” together. How many people are in touch with the truth of themselves (which is Love) to say to another human being – “Hey there friend – I want to hang out with YOU. I don’t really care what we do – I just want to be connected with YOU?” Think about it. It’s almost scary, isn’t it? But how much real Love do we get to… (hmmm, get to?) how about just letting Love rip – giving it full expression… actually sharing it “Whole” with another person? Do we always have to set the mood for “Being” together? And as far as honesty goes, we’ve been too busy doing all kinds of stuff to even be in touch with ourselves – let alone to actually Be present with another human Being.
The conversation goes – we did this – he said this – she said that. Heretofore, the mind has been very busy covering (trying to encompass) the completely unimportant, superficial and often superfluous details for a very long time. If you take a look out into world, it kinda looks at times like Spirit is hiding somewhere. But Spirit’s not hiding – we just pilled truck loads of morass over it. Thank God Spirit has the fortitude to rise up through anything!
The topic of this blog is “Honesty.” Where does that fit in? How many levels of honesty are there? I don’t know the answer to that question – because I keep discovering another level. All of the morass (truck loads baby) have held our attention as the mind (almost like a machine gun) has kept creating another agenda to work with of the morass. And what actually is the morass? It’s anything and everything that comes between YOU and the experience of “Being!” No One can really be honest while they are not in touch with the truth of their “Being.” And that may sound like a bunch of psychological and/or philosophical mumbo jumbo, but if the human mind focuses on that which is connected to a result or form (no matter what result or form) it is disconnected to that which is real – the experience of “Being.” The platforms of result and form are illusionary and they have been, heretofore, received as substitutes for the true essences of “Being.” However, there are no real similarities. From “Being” Love is expressed and received while using all forms as temporary stations for “Being’s” purpose (the expression of Love).
Heretofore, focusing on forms has had us selling-out the integrity of “Being.” We may not have looked at the subtleties or that which we have chosen to communicate with our worlds as lying. However, it has been as much of a lie as any declaration without substance has ever been. It has been rare heretofore, in the world of man, to see an individual be honest. Now, a person that considers themselves to be honest might actually take offense to that statement. But true and complete honesty requires simple ground. How simple are the grounds where YOU grow your life? To the extent that there is simplicity, there can be an honest approach.
I have stopped and looked at what I created/co-created to have as my grounds. Simple would not have been an accurate word to describe what I observed. And so, how honest could any approach be while “trying” to work with such components of illusion? Spirit, insofar as adorning and co-creating with it is concerned, must be given complete autonomy with respect to One’s living expression. How many things will, or will not get done, while moving forth in this Way? (The Way, The Truth and The Life…). Oh no, that sounds a bit religious. Nope, we’re not looking to slide in a belief system here. That is not the “Way!” One just needs to let Life be acknowledged (always first). It doesn’t need to happen orally (necessarily). But it does need to be the “Alpha and Omega” of the Creative Process. I guarantee that all things will be done somewhat differently as Life is given the opportunity to foster our “Stewardships.”
When anyone has to try and explain the reasons how things are – the reason for this, that or something else – they undoubtedly are perceived as an individual that is not in their integrity – because that is all that human nature can do. Whenever our lives are complicated, we have divorced ourselves from the integrity of Spirit. The truest Tone of Life is sounded from the simplest chambers.
These are the thoughts that are moving through me. I invite you to click on‘comments ‘ and share your thoughts and experiences on this subject.
