Truth is not what they teach you in school. Truth is not what your mom taught you while you were growing up (well, maybe some of it). Truth isn’t religious dogma derived from hypocrisy, myth or shattered dreams. Truth isn’t the New York Yankees or the Dallas Cowboys. And truth isn’t found in a book your friend told you to read.

Truth is understanding and illumination that blossoms from within you, nurtured by the experiences in your life. Nature is truth. Life is truth. The universe is truth. Suffering is truth, and love is truth. The endless cycle of life in both directions is truth. No beginning and no end is truth. Science and mathematics attempt to define the dynamics of truth, but science and math are not themselves truth. Science and math cannot define a soul . . . where it comes from, how it works or its purpose in being. Nor can any man.

Truth is an understanding you achieve on a deep emotional level. Truth is a peace within yourself that enhances your understanding of life’s purpose and contentment with your place in the design of nature. Help others understand the truth you find in life. Show us the beauty of the truth within you.
