Truth as Power and Freedom Over Illusion

"Truth is the highest consciousness, and the ever-abiding presence of God in reality."1

"We individualize infinite power in proportion to our consciousness of Truth."2

The truth is so vitality important to our evolution, for without being able to see it, we keep strengthening illusion and the world of the ego mind that breeds strife. All illusion that we create is unworkable and will have to be undone, and in this regard, is not supporting the increase in life but rather the need for more time. Not only does illusion generate conditions that must be personally undone by its creator, but also it contributes to a collective condition that must be suffered through and undone by all. Needless to say, the world of illusion is not in harmony with the One Substance. Striving to see and create in truth is thus for the highest good of all.

Truth is the revelation of God's presence in life. God is inseparable from Reality and His will is intrinsic to it. The truths we distill from reality will eventually enhance our understanding of both God and the universe and lead to workable and effective solutions in life.2 As Joel Goldsmith has stated, "We individualize infinite power in proportion to our consciousness of Truth." 2 And so our consciousness of Truth determines our vibrational level. In working truth into our life, we merge with the Mind and Will of God and all that we create is worthy. Seeking truth in all our perceptions and understandings is equivalent to seeking the presence of God in all things, and thereby do we harmonize profoundly with the intelligent Substance. There is no surer way to enter into the creative mind, than to love and seek truth.

Truth is also the soul's honesty. And honesty is the foundation of intelligence, and one of the levels of the Heart's intelligence. "You are not going to go any further than honesty will carry you." "Many doors are shut to the dishonest person. Even if he could enter, he could not walk through the maze of his own self-deceptions."4 Without truth, honesty is compromised, and without honesty difficulties arise in life.

To be in truth, you must start by being the love that you are, and this is the first principle of success in Love Without End. When you are love, you have innocent perception and bless all with your thoughts, you are an agent of healing and resolution, and you rise above any problems you may face. Your outlook and performance change, because you are at peace. One cannot be in the creative mind, or think in a Certain Way for that matter, in any consistent way without also striving to be love and to know the truth. The creative mind is very much 'heart thinking', and having a feel for truth is one of its important components. Wattles mentions the importance of the truth quite often in his writings, though he does not elaborate on what it is that it may be seen clearly.
