"They must find it difficult ... those who have taken authority as the truth, rather than truth as the authority."
~Gerald Massey
"I believe in everything -- a little bit."
~Marilyn Monroe
"I know that most men...can seldom accept even the simplest and most obvious truth if it be such as would oblige them to admit the falsity of conclusions which they have delighted in explaining to colleagues, which they have proudly taught to others, and which they have woven, thread by thread, into the fabrics of their lives."
~Tolstoy

Everyone says "the Truth shall set you free", but how many people have ever thought to themselves, "set me free from what?"
ReplyDeleteI'm sure people think about what temporal things they want to be freed from, or more directly, which mistakes they wish they did not have to live with (i.e. debt, rotten kids, jobs, spouses, etc).
The phrase, "The Truth shall set you Free" is usually used in a more spiritual manner, but I do not think people often think deeply about what the words Truth or Free mean, in that phrase, from a Spiritual viewpoint. They limit how deep they will dig to understand either word fully or accurately.
Sure they understand the idea of "Truth", but limited in how deeply they understand the Truth. Only an idea thus far. They do not know The Truth (made Flesh).
Exactly the same thing goes for the word Free. Some perhaps have freed themselves from the nazi British system; freed themselves from family baggage; maybe from debt too; perhaps from everything temporal, but they do not know what Free is, they only know something is wrong and so they might as well run from it and save their own skin. They do not write as if they know what true Spiritual Freedom is. Basically no one does.
"Free from what" would be a full-fledged Freedom, which is Freedom from this absolutely miserable planet Earth and released back out into the Universe, only accomplished by a person working diligently to get free of their "Self" and thus satan's control over them, and being generally obedient to Father and His Will, of course.
Thomas 1:3 Jesus said: Let him who seeks [the Truth], not cease seeking until he finds, and when he finds, he will be troubled (by the truth about his "Self" and by the rest of the world, who, like his "Self" are drunk on Satan's lies - Rev. 12:9), and when he has been troubled (overcomes his "Self" and the world), he will marvel and he will reign over [and have Knowledge of] the All.
I emphasize "not cease seeking UNTIL he finds" because people always think they have found; and think wrongly as they usually do, because their arrogance blinds them.
Keep looking until you find.
The bar of judgement as to whether people have actually found the Truth or not is relatively simple and primarily tested by the Book, "The Way home or face The Fire" by JAH.
3:26 Always remain humble, even in victory, because you could not have won without God's help. Then, when you have passed the ultimate test, which is to be like Jesus; in thought; word and deed, at all times; under all circumstances; always doing for others; you can go home.
It is that simple!
