What is Truth? Inspiration to
the heart By Phillip L. Hansen
Truth is what was, what is and what becomes, it is the
same from the first to the last. It may be a bird in its nest, or an egg
not yet hatched. What it was, it is not now, nor is it now what it will
become.
Truth is consistent in endless space, in the eternities
of now, though its changing face may fool us, as it rolls on in space and
time. How is it the same from the first to the last, yet consistent in
change evermore, to prevail and endure throughout all space, and the eons of
time?
Truth is the substance of things as they were, as they
are now and as they shall become. Truth travels through the landscape of
space on the eternal wings of time, as all events from far and near unfold
like an endless scroll, penned by breath of life, underwritten in your life and
mine.
The past is the present eternally cast, unchanged by
space or time, yet now it endlessly evolves, as we learn line upon line; however
certain I am, disputed it is, in what others claim or suggest.
This may imply we know a truth more for what it is not, like the light or dark of milk in a black pot. Truth is as it is -- is never disputed, yet we dispute how to describe or understand, to define what it is. However, do thoughts in any way imply or change what truth reveals?
Every Pico second countless events take place,
throughout endless space of which we are unaware. No man can conceive one
Pico of that, and less to describe as it is, while we remain oblivious to a
billion events taking place in our own bone and flesh.
Out of truth, we observe and understand; all our lives
are entwined. For what you think, I think is not, as we observe the same
in time. One truth rings clear; truth is not a thought in the darkness of the
mind, but a lamp that shines in the night, uniting your heart and mine.
Positive Thought by Phillip L. Hansen
As I Think of All the Things that I Must Do, I must
do them in an order that is true. I must form the habits that are in
line, To reach the goal and purpose in my mind.
I must learn the truth of all things too, And
harmonize all my efforts it is true, With all principles and laws that do
combine, to make all dreams come true like yours and mine.
Two, Think as One by Phillip L. Hansen
You think you think, I think I think, What is and
what is not; But what you see and what I saw, Is not at all the
same.
So what is right, the weak or might: If eye to eye we
see, We must look more carefully, We are both right and
wrong.
In part we see, in part we know, No room for selfish
pride, For you could help me understand, A weakness that I
hide.
So, as we share with open minds, New truth expands
our soul; To think as one as we learn to see, To understand and
know.
Where is it that, concerning truth, we find most
disagree or where do we differ most in our views? Perhaps, in the
diversity of intent and purpose. We all would have distinct priorities and
goals where we differ in our intent and purpose. Here I believe we will
find is where we all differ. Then again it may extend into the values we
have chosen and learned to cherish and to love in our heart, whether in the
light or in the dark. Do we seek to prosper at the expense of another, or
do we want to share prosperity in joy from the purity of the heart. Are we
giving for the love of giving or is it for the love of gain? Do we seek to
tower over another or to care for those who are in pain.
Happiness is as happiness does, and life is as life
does, for what we give returns evermore. So, "Give not thinking as you
give, This meagre portion that I share is mine a hundred-fold to spare; give
for the love of giving, not for the love of gain; this is the secret of success
in love, fortune and fame. So why think to keep the good, the spoils
give away, for that which we keep withers away, that which we share multiplies
to stay." —PLH
The point we make here is that "oneness of purpose and
intent", rather than diversity, cement our souls in one accord, to use our
diverse talents to overcome the selfish passions, of envy, vain ambition,
haughty pride or greed in the covetousness of the heart.
This is to know and seek the truth, with pure intent, to
glorify our maker, as we serve and strengthen others, from the love we hold for
all. For that which we sow to the good, we also in abundance reap.
This is why those with less, who share are happiest and more secure, than those
that horde in their secure barns, while true content and happiness eludes
them.
Out of this comes the saying, "If you have too much of
the things you do not want then you should consider what you are putting out."
—PLH We can say again that, "Out of truth, we observe and
understand; all our lives are entwined. For what you think, I think is
not, as we observe the same in time. One truth rings clear, truth is not a
thought in the darkness of the mind, but a lamp that shines in the night,
uniting your heart and mine." —PLH
The Truth is My Maiden 1997 Phillip L. Hansen
I love the truth. The truth is my maiden, She is
faithful and true. She's more precious than diamonds and rubies, No other
treasure will do.
She's found in the green leaves, And in the
branches, And in the roots of the trees. She is growing in splendour and
glory, A world of beauty is she.
She has freed me, From false superstitions, She
has freed me from fear. She is full of knowledge and wisdom, Sound
understanding in thee.
She's found in the past And in the present, And
in the future you'll see. She is truer than a straight line to
heaven, With you she'll always be.
She's found in the mountains, In the depths of the
ocean, In the darkest of space. She can fill your heart with
emotion; Light eternal is she.
Let us seek her in the purity of our heart, from the
barrenness of a hungering soul, seeking the light of understanding and the love
of God which is a tree of life, the power of freedom, peace and liberty in this
life and immortality.
Knowledge or knowing the good and evil, the light of
truth is to become as God. The power of God is in the love of truth and
all things virtuous, lovely, praiseworthy and of good report, to seek after them
and to live and do those things, in all ways with a pure heart and eyes of
love.
Therefore said the Son of God, "Be ye therefore perfect,
even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect." Matthew
5:48
For thine is the Kingdom, and the power and the glory
forever, Amen.
