UNIVERSAL TRUTH
UNIVERSAL TRUTH
Key to a Co-Creative recovery Process
Ever been in a situation where you heard something for likely the thousandth time, but all of a sudden it resonates within you? Not a burning bush moment, but an ahaa? I had just that happen last night.
When I began the journey to recover a happier, joyous and more abundant life (a Big Life as opposed to the life I lived that was getting small), I was devoid of all things spiritual. Devoid at least on a conscious basis. God was something I’d learned about from others and from institutions. Even to this day, god as a word with traditional concepts does not sit well with me. Long ago I accepted the notion of a power greater than me, and god being an acronym for good orderly direction. To date, that has worked, but with some discomfort.
At a gathering last night, a respected friend talked about “Universal Truth”. I am sure I have heard and read this term many times. As I said, last night, for some reason, it resonated deep with in me. It is what I have searched for and felt as an integral part of my life recovery experience.
I’m not anti-church, anti-religion or anti anything that works for an individual. I have always believed there is only one higher power and over time, humans have put this concept into a dogma that made sense for them. Unfortunately, I strongly believe that this has caused many to have a need to be right, which of course makes others wrong. This need to be right has taken more lives than any other factor in human history! It has given me great concern about formal religions. But all religions have an underlying “Universal Truth”.
As I heard the words “Universal Truth” and the things said about it, a light came on for me.
We started with truth within us, and it has always remained with us and all around us. There is a truth that is universal. With me, over time, this universal truth got lost. In the process of life recovery, it has been awoken with in me and I appreciate it and can see it all about me. In working with others who are willing to open their minds, I see it awaken within them as a key pillar in them achieving what is important to them. The “Universal Truth” is something within all of us. Awakening to it in a pure sense is a key to achievement!
I journal, and have journaled, for a long time as part of my journey. I find it healing to get thoughts and feelings from the inside to the outside. It is a part of my practice of good mental hygiene.
Some will read this and say where has he been all these years? I have related to “Universal Truth” and used the concept forever. For those like me that struggled with the god thing and religion, maybe this will make sense! As I go forward from today, I will take comfort in knowing my “Co-Creative Process for Life Recovery” as I practice it seeks the “Universal Truth”, and this spirit of truth may be the CO in Co-Creative.
Thank- you Linda for saying the right things at the right time for this traveler. I look forward to seeking the “Universal Truth” in my journey, and coaching others to helping find it in theirs! Could it be the “Universal Truth” within is what many call their soul?
