Within thine own self know the truth.


Anything not based in compassion and acceptance is an illusion based in fear and denial.

What is fear but a most unconscious instinct to transcend mortality, and an egoic desire for the soul to remain encapsulated within form; such an end would invite any means to attain it. Nonetheless, beyond the illusion, and into the infinite moment, one is simply all that is good, with a central tendency toward compassion and forgiveness. Any motion that denies this equation sustains the illusion.

Growth, with regard to the spiritual being, is the process of amplifying the innate capacity for compassion. That which one cannot change is what one shall accept if one is to experience growth. Acceptance implies forgiveness and frees one’s energy from the egoic capsule and the illusory attachments based in time and form. It is the freed energy that applies to that which is real in the present moment and that with which one experiences as everchanging.

When using the term, change, it shall simply refer to that within one's true self which one experiences as empowerment and the stimulation of growth. The term, change, however, ought not to refer to the desire to become who in fact, one is not; to exert or externalize control, which is based in fear, in order to influence material aims, so as to invest energy and project the ego identity into the elements of time and form.

Growth is a term preferable to the term, change, when referring to the action of the spirit moving freely, or rather, simply being. While the term, change, from the context of unconscious motivation, implies the need to depart from that which is, in fact, who one is not, and direct toward that which is who one instead would become; the term, growth, relates to a state of acceptance of who and what one is now, and how each experience in the present moment is related to the transtemporal cause and effect relationship to every choice one makes and each action one takes. As far as change is concerned from this context, there is a focus and agenda on how the ideal (or the illusory) is separate from what is real at this moment. Instead, the term, growth, simply focuses on a present, everchanging state of being right now. This in turn will result in an everchanging way of being characterized by Compassion and a freedom of movement that transcends space and time. It will furthermore bring about an expansion of the consciousness; an amplified state of being aware, and a focus on seeking the truth.

This above all: to thine own self be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man.
Farewell; my blessing season this in thee!

William Shakespeare
