The Spirit of Truth: Seek and you will find!



The Spirit of Truth will guide all seekers into a more complete understanding of the truth. While as limited human beings we will never understand God, it is still our joy to be able to commune with its Spirit. I realize many who claim to be Christians talk about “Jesus being in my heart” or the “Holy Spirit.” While this is true as far as it goes, a dedication to truth is essential to in one’s relationship to others and God.


As is always the case, we want to be sure to not make perfection the enemy of the good. So I am imperfect. Then I strive to do better. In the process, I would strongly recommend that you fully realize that the vast majority of people are in their ego brain and thus controlled to various degrees by darker forces. In my view, the mass media is designed to keep the entire world mad.


Invite the Spirit of Truth to guide you. The Gospel of Thomas does not contain the truth; the truth can be found this Gospel. For instance, scholars who read this Gospel are usually looking at the text from an historical standpoint with no interest in the text’s spiritual meaning; in this case, they will find nothing of value because they fail to seek: “The one who seeks should not cease seeking until he finds” (Gospel of Thomas, Saying 2).



An excellent motto: Truth Must Be Honored! This points to combining two higher ideals: Truth=Honor. One honors the truth by being open to corrections, challenging one’s present view, accepting forgiveness and moving on. However, this world will be filled with those who have no honor and no regard for the truth. So one must focus on oneself and “let the dead bury the dead!”
