I am blessed to have a close friend in life who goes by the name of Liane Mandalis. We met years ago in a café in Sydney and ever since have chosen to have each other near, call on each other for support, and inspire the other to the nth degree.
She has many great attributes, but the focus of this article is her commitment to Truth. She does not waver and nothing can get in the way of her expressing Truth. It can but try, but it doesn’t stand a chance.
Liane does not hold back her expression of Truth. She does this in many ways and not just verbally. If I have lost my way or got caught up in something, all it takes is a look from Liane to bring me back. This is not a certain look she gives me, like a death-stare or some other contrived look; it is simply the look in her eyes combined with her steady presence. The what-is-not-truth is exposed and I am called back to all that I am.
Being exposed can be confronting. If I am not willing to be honest, or see what Liane is exposing, then I can get very uncomfortable, reactive and dismissive of what Liane is offering. Fortunately my commitment to Truth is akin to Liane’s so we fare well together, but for many, this is not the case.
History is filled with people who speak the word of God only to be crucified, burnt and buried alive, tortured, persecuted, lied about… it seems humanity isn’t always so keen on Truth.
But when we are not willing to hear the word of God, we are the ones missing out. Our own comfort is placed before evolution.
Liane Mandalis, Serge Benhayon and others who speak Truth straight from Heaven, have no need to be heard. Thankfully for us, they continue to speak Truth, whether we listen or not.
When Divinity speaks we may need to get our own stuff out of the way in order to hear what is being said. It may not feel nice, comfortable or even remotely pleasant but what is on offer is evolution. Whilst in-Truth all we do is go round and round the sun, without Truth and evolution we are but going nowhere.
On behalf of Humanity, Liane, I express my gratitude and appreciation for your commitment to Love, Truth and Evolution. You call us all to the simple truth of who we are.

Truth and love support us to evolve.
Thank you Nikki, I liked what you shared about truth being communicated by much more than words, such as the look Liane gives you that helps bring you back to yourself. And I agree with you on this line about the truth; “It may not feel nice, comfortable or even remotely pleasant but what is on offer is evolution.”
There is no end to the depth of friendship and relationship with each other, there is always more love we can set free and share.
True friendship is a relationship that establishes a true quality in which neither one will accept less or allow the other to drop and each one is inspiring the other to be true to themselves, forever expanding and evolving.
People like Liane are the reason to not give up on life and oneself as they reflect that there is so much more and if we are only willing to open up to the possibility we can discover it for ourselves.
These people who are committed to truth are like shining stars walking amongst us, I have such a person in my life who I cannot get enough of, despite my reactions, tantrums to what they share with me, I still go back again and again because I know that their truth comes from the heart, from a deep, deep love.
Truth presented from and with love is beautiful.
Love the public and open expression of appreciation Nikki – these things need to be said, they need to be shouted over the mountain tops…or they can be simply expressed in the way we walk, in the way we talk, in the way we blink and know deeply within us that what we share with another is precious indeed.
A true friend is someone who stands by us and supports our growth, and at times it is about hearing those things we may not want to hear, but delivered by someone with the holding of the love that they are…a blessing indeed Nikki and Liane!
It is a great thing to truly appreciate another. It also exposes just how stubborn we are or can be when it comes to truly hearing and feeling truth and adhering to this. True truth is absolute love, it is just are we willing to see the comfort and denial we have been living in, to then let this go and let love in.
Beautiful Nikki how you appriciate this very beautiful quality of Liane.
As we know truth gets so often rejected, so Lets honor And embrace what Liane and others bring in this truth delivery.
Serge Benhayon reflects those qualities deeply to the world too.
Thank you, that is a loving testimony of truth and the appreciation you hold for Liane and the truth.
We so need people who speak the truth, ‘no matter if we listen or not’. Someone has to set the bar at truth, so the wayward (which is most of us most of the time) at least have a marker to come back to.
We definitely very much need people to express truth in this world.
The keenness of humanity not always being open to truth — is one important point of awareness. It is all of us and the honesty we are willingly to understand that we are not from here, this plane of life neither should we be here. But whilst we are here our greatest adventure is to be honest about where we are and come back to the truth that we need to get back to living the love that we are. Not the creationist of all that we are not.
Just being open to considering Danna that we are not from here is an enormous leap for so many who have been taught that life is all there is – you are born, you live, you work, you die. No wonder we have a deep and constant unsettlement that we try to manage with all our coping strategies.
The wisdom of our inner hearts, when listened to and expressed, will always be there as a mirror of reflection of our deepest and truest selves.
Being exposed can feel very uncomfortable, but surely receiving truth is better than being right or wrong in one’s untruth or lie…… There is no equivalent. Speaking truth from a place of love is very supportive.
The greatest reflection of true friendship are ones that are founded on truth, honouring and expressing truth before anything else regardless of what the reaction or response may be. As you have gorgeously shared this is the commitment offered to the evolution back to who we Soulfully and innately are, and a dedication to the truest love of all.
Oh yes, it’s very uncomfortable being exposed when we take it personally. And when we make it personal, it is very uncomfortable to be the one who does the exposing.
What a blessing it is to have amazing friends in our lives who are open, loving and willing to express truth no matter what.
When someone like Liane expresses truth we all win, because what she offers is an opportunity for us to reflect and to deeply heal, what a shining example she is for us all to not hold back our truth in anyway.
Beautifully said Anna, when one speaks truth it is not for themselves but for the all.
“Our own comfort is placed before evolution.” I’ve done this, and I’ve not done this. And when I have placed my comfort before evolution, it is all about me, and I usually feel a bit physically ill afterwards (especially when that comfort involved comfort foods!), and when I place evolution before comfort, I consider the all, and usually feel lighter, nourished and ready to be of service. And without judgement (or as close too) I observe when I choose each one, and lovingly review what was behind those choices so I can either confirm it, or review it to let it go.
It is through being present with myself in my daily living that I give myself an opportunity to feel everything. To feel everything supports my wellbeing.
Nikki is so wonderful you have a reflection of truth in your life in Liane and the photos say’s it all. Also thanks to the heavens for the reflection of Serge Benhayon.
The truth is always felt in our body. When we choose to express it, is always a blessing for everyone around us, even though this could be rejected. There’s much love in fully committing to truth.
When truth is spoken a fire is lit in all who hear these words… This fire may be hidden for decades even lifetimes and yet the spark is now there … So speak truth and let the world feel this resonance
I love this “When truth is spoken a fire is lit in all who hear these words”. It is true, truth is felt in the body and our fire never goes out – truth can ignite it.
Yes Nikki.. and thats all we have to do … live in a way that our words come from that inner well, that fire within, and thence effortlessly reflected out into humanity
All that is needed is for someone to express truth in their life and they become a shining light in the world.
Beautiful Nikki and Liane – what is inspiring is the interaction and relationship you have that this depth of appreciation and true respect is present and than being chosen to be shared with the world. Not many women actually can do that and or have that, so that is a gorgeous leading example to be inspired by to see more the truth in oneself and also the other.. We got so much inside that we need to re-discover and share with the world..
I loved what you have shared Nikki about Liane and your relationship, what a gift you are to each other, being open and honest to speak the truth to each other, something that is not always easy to do, this is true love calling us to be more of who we are and what we bring.
The style of friends that a someone chooses tells you a lot about that person. The fact that you are brave enough to invite Liane into your life, shows your commitment exposing yourself in the name of truth. That is a credit to you, some of us hide in relationships that we know will not ask more of us, this can be easily disguised as familiarity but a true friendship is about evolution and it sounds like you both offer that to each other equally.
Thank you Sarah
I can never get enough of appreciation! It’s very uplifting to read the appreciation and love we have for one another and it’s also very healing to express that appreciation ourselves (including for ourselves). I often read Liane’s comments on blogs and there is a clarity and purity to the truth she expresses which always feels very profound to me. Liane has a very beautiful reflection for all of humanity that we too can all express the truth in the same power, purity and consistency, and to do so is simply a surrender to ourselves.
It’s amazing to meet a life long friend of quality like this Nikki. I like that we are just going about our business and then the bigger picture knocks on our door and says “hello we have a friend for you” and then we can spend a lifetime growing and appreciating together.
Being in awe of people’s qualities is one thing – but expressing it to them, letting them know how we feel and what we see in them, is another as it is something that we must do more often to combat the comparison, jealousy and competition in the world.
To stop, appreciate and express appreciation for the people we love and who inspire us, magnify the love outwards so we are all touched by it’s warm embrace.
Thank you for the reminder that life is about evolution. And that by you writing this, you are also calling “us all to the simple truth of who we are.”
Such a gorgeous photo of two friends connecting. When we connect with another our world expands.
Yes a photo that shows the true love and friendship Nikki and Liane share.
It is so important to have role models in our life who do not waver from truth. It gives me courage and steadfastness to not waver. It shows me it can be done and the joy it brings when we are not trying to live with a foot in each camp. This is what the world needs or we will continue the downhill slide we are on.
What a beautiful sharing Nikki! To have a friend like Liane who challenges one to truly look deeper and take responsibility for our way of living in this world.
What an opportunity to have that reflection of love in your life. I have found there are many who are not ready to let go of the comfort that has kept them ‘safe’ all these years. I have been one of them for a large part of my life but now I have heard, seen and felt truth and love again there is just no going back – you cannot unfeel or unsee what you have felt and seen. It comes from the body and the pull is what calls you home.
Gorgeous Nikki and Liane, sharing with us that truth is everything – but also allowing others to find their way – so no convincing or push. A beautiful marker of truth is laid by this blog and another fantastic exposé on the evil we have allowed the word “truth” to be about, which is simply just bastardization of the word. Not the real and only whole truth.
People crave truth but the fact is that hand in hand with truth comes a step up in responsibility too – and if we don’t want to upset our comfortable status quo that is based on our ideals and beliefs that feed that same comfort we can react emotionally big time when the absoluteness of truth rocks those comfortable foundations.
The photo alone is a powerful reminder of the joy in truth.
Beautifull to celebrate a relationship and the true qualities within the relationship and of that person .. something we should do far more.
It feels amazing to read the expression of someone’s appreciation of another this way – no holding back, detailed and to the point. Very inspiring and something we can all do for each other – hold them in love and in truth and confirm them in their amazingness.
A beautiful sharing of a true relationship. Thank you.
Sometimes when the truth is spoken and we react, deny or resist these are the moments I am learning to not run away from. Yes it feels uncomfortable in that resistance and reaction but by repeatedly connecting to those speaking truth the resistance gets less and less.
And there is no holding back here in expressing your love for Liane Nikki. Expression and truth certainly works in a chain reaction…reminding the next person that they too are everything.
‘Whilst in-Truth all we do is go round and round the sun, without Truth and evolution we are but going nowhere.’ – this is so true Nikki and well said. As the purpose of evolution is to return to being and living all that we truly are. Without embracing truth we are merely living a lie.
This is a very interesting point “When Divinity speaks we may need to get our own stuff out of the way in order to hear what is being said. It may not feel nice, comfortable or even remotely pleasant but what is on offer is evolution.” How often does the person who speaks up when something is not truthful get singled out and the power that wants things to stay the way it is pulls in old tricks to have them torn down or discredited in order to keep the status quo? If one person had not stood his ground and spoken about the abuse in the Catholic Church we would not have had the Royal Commission that is unearthing so many years of abuse.
An absolute blessing to read this beautifully expressed appreciation and feel what is possible when we choose truth over comfort.
Our bodies are highly attuned instruments to detect if we are open to truth or not. We can feel all the things mentioned in the blog and more; tension, dismissiveness, irritation when we don’t want to hear or be challenged out of our comfortable mindset. It is great to stay aware of what’s going on for you, not go into blame or any stories about the other person
We all need these relationships in our lives that keep us on track and call us to be more of the truth and love we can naturally express and live. Often we can use our friendships for less than this. To feel wanted, needed, special, comfortable or confirmed to stay exactly as we are. This is not what relationships are designed to be, as ‘when two or more are gathered in my name’, with purpose and commitment to our soul, magic happens.
