Greatest Treasure

Todays reflections on the Principles and Practice of Love & Truth:

Always remind yourself to live with intention — in thought, word, and action — so that you align with your highest potential. Don’t shy away from challenges, but observe them without judgment. If you find yourself lacking something, like money, simply notice it for what it is, without adding value to it. Change is constant, and how things change is up to you. You may not control everything, but your perspective is always yours. The way you see things shapes your experience.

We often think of love and truth through the body, heart, and mind — or even body, mind, and soul. These are just ways to understand who we are. The soul, eternal and ever-evolving, seeks to experience love in its purest form. It longs for unity, for the kind of love that holds all things together. It wishes to feel everything — to know light because it has known darkness. To rise because it has touched the depths.

Embrace the darkness, for it is needed to bring forth the light. Bless what you do not choose, for it has a purpose too. Even contradictions, and thoughts that don’t align with yours, can bring clarity to your heart. When you stay true to your center, you heal the soul’s deepest wounds.

The practice is simple: expand your view by walking toward the unknown. The paradox is that, while we resist change, it is the only constant. We are each a unique current in the ocean of life. Love and truth teach us to flow with that current, for it always knows where to take us.

It is the beliefs we hold — shaped by society, by history — that cause us to resist. We fight against our true nature because we fear the unknown. We hold onto memories, staying stuck, instead of trusting the higher mind that is guiding us forward. This resistance is the root of pain — the pain of fighting the current, swimming upstream, afraid of what’s downstream.

We often see the unknown as dark and frightening. Our minds imagine the worst, but the unknown is where we find our true self. This is the heart of the hero’s journey — the treasure is not outside, but within us. The greatest discovery is who we really are.
