My Friend the Truth

From an early age I learned that it was worth staying with the truth. The truth was always easy to write, say and remember because it was something that really happened as I experienced it and it was locked away forever in the make up of my body.

If I wrote or said something that wasn’t the truth my body would let me know because if I didn’t honour that truth, what came after was a mess and it took so much energy and time to clean it up. Not siding with the truth was like watching a movie that kept you in suspense for the rest of your life, or until it was made true.

I worked for 13 years in law enforcement in a highly stressed environment, participating in many investigations from domestic situations and drug matters to high end vehicle theft. I worked as part of a team and individually, providing evidence at the local, district and coroner’s courts. Among the many things that have stayed constant is the truth and how important it is.

I spoke to people in many situations, including victims, offenders (in interviews), colleagues or members of the public, always having a sense or feeling of where the truth was in what was being said. For me it was just whether I followed that sense or feeling or overrode it for something else.

I spent sleepless nights worrying about situations I was involved in with my body being in a heightened state – I was anxious and my heart was beating really fast. The only thing that would settle me was knowing the facts of what had been done or seen. I would replay the situation and this would confirm to me, through the feeling in my body, that I was operating on the facts and hadn’t added anything or left anything out. It was like I was saying to myself, “yes, this is the truth, this is what you saw or heard and you are only writing about it so you can’t be wrong.” My body would soon confirm to me if I was right in my replay of the event and I would sleep feeling the truth, or my body would continue to race.

I came to learn that the truth is the only thing I could stand on and step from. Anything else would eventually fall away and leave me with nothing. It was the best friend I ever had; I loved how it made me feel.

My friend Serge Benhayon has confirmed to me the feeling I always had about the truth. I always knew the truth was my friend but at times I was too scared to hold onto it. Now I will never walk away from it again – not out of honor, but because of how it feels. Thank you Serge and Universal Medicine; I know you are the truth, not because of what you say but because after all my life experiences my body always tells me so.

  1. It’s interesting how we sometimes use lies to protect ourselves as if truth would somehow betray us. But what is it that we are so keen to protect by using untruth? We would need more lies to tell that, wouldn’t we?

  2. “My body would soon confirm to me if I was right in my replay of the event and I would sleep feeling the truth, or my body would continue to race.” This is a great line to examine where we too may experience how the truth affects us physiologically, making us racy if we deny or do not express the truth, or leaving us feeling solid and settled when we embrace or express it.

  3. “I always knew the truth was my friend but at times I was too scared to hold onto it. Now I will never walk away from it again – not out of honor, but because of how it feels.” Yes once one has truly felt the truth of Truth in one’s body one does not want to let go of it again.

  4. I really appreciate you sharing here that in our body we know the truth, we just choose to override it. I am noticing a tendency to ask others to be that reflection of truth in our lives, but a lack of willingness to be the reflection of truth ourselves. One to ponder on…

  5. Deep down all of us love the truth, it is reassuring, we know we are not being lied to and can trust the person in front of us or the situation we are in. There is something very comforting in having relationships with people who don’t shy away from the truth because you know regardless of the circumstances, what they say and do is real and honest, and that is the biggest trust-building block I think.

  6. I love how truth is so important to you and your body tells you what is true or not. When we start to come back to our innate connection this cannot be ignored.

    1. I hate it when truth is not expressed, we can all feel/sense this, ‘If I wrote or said something that wasn’t the truth my body would let me know because if I didn’t honour that truth, what came after was a mess and it took so much energy and time to clean it up.’

  7. Understanding that Truth runs through our veins has always keep an open door that allows us to understand and read between the lines of what is going on in our society. Lets hope one day Truth will become a subject at school.

  8. It’s so rare to read about someone’s personal relationship with the truth and how it’s an embodied experience – something that we experience with our whole selves, not just our mind.

  9. Serge Benhayon presents the truth, this our body already knows, as it resonates to the truth he presents, it is an alignment of particles. However humanity lives in a way that has put many layers over the truth, which makes our bodies dense so that it is more difficult to feel, but that doesn’t mean to say it is not there.

  10. Perfect timing, as on waking up this morning my body was asking me to be with the truth I know within my body and to keep it really simple. Reading you blog has been a confirmation of this.

  11. The truth is more than just words or statement – it’s a living braille that our bodies respond to – that feeling of settlement you described is a great indicator that we are on the right track and that the truth has indeed been touched upon.

  12. “I came to learn that the truth is the only thing I could stand on and step from. Anything else would eventually fall away and leave me with nothing. It was the best friend I ever had” When we come to know how truth feels in our bodies, it becomes simple and clear to feel when something is not true.

  13. I am crazy for the truth.
    Just show me the truth, I feel if what you bring is true, my body is very clear to confirm if the truth comes my way.
    Every cell of my body says Yes to what gets shared in the workshops of Universal Medicine. Serge Benhayon does know very Well to connect with the divine. His words are divine music to my body.

  14. The one pointer in my life that worked better than anything else for me was a complete commitment to truth. A complete commitment to love would have also worked.

  15. In expectation of being exposed in what I call today my lies or rather personalized versions of truth that I honestly considered to be the truth, I tended to avoid the truth, a game of hiding in order to hold onto what suited me at the time in the best intention and belief. We lie to ourselves even when we are convinced to be honest or truthful to an extent that is shocking due to the lack of awareness we have allowed or chosen to reduce us by. And here truth shows to be our best friend, it will always reveal and expose the level of unawareness we live and equally confirm the knowing of truth in everything we do, see and experience. Truth is what it is and it doesn´t change what it is, it is our relationship with truth that is either in resistance to or acceptance of it, but in both cases, truth remains to be our best friend.

    1. Yes – our so called personal truths are often lies or variations to the actual truth which stand steady and is consistently the same for everyone – and our journey with truth must naturally begin with unpicking all the untruths we have built our lives upon.

  16. I agree Ray, that sense that we get when know someone is telling the truth and when they are lying is very tangible in our bodies – the only problem is amongst the rush of today’s world is that we dismiss and disregard it all too often.

    1. Yes that is a hazard we can easily get into, rushing and dismissing of what the body is communicating. I can always track back to a feeling of what was true. Often it is a quiet knowing so it is easily dismissed if I am living in a way that is busy and rushing.

    2. It’s true Suse, that’s why we have sayings like “something feels off”, “something is fishy”, or “I just don’t trust that guy for some reason”. It is because we can hear the right words and experience a polished performance by someone but our sense is unwavering in discerning the truth. Bravo body!

    1. That is so true. How at ease are you in your body with the decisions you are making because if you live in a relationship with Truth you will feel at ease in your body, if not there is a constant unease.
