Truth


Sometimes Truth hurts, but then it sets us free.”
What truths are you unwilling to see?
Can it be something in me that is creating the world I see?
Is it my thoughts that are designing the experiences I have?

When the light shines bright, we can see what we had kept in the dark.  
When we see what is hidden, we can choose what we want to let go.
When we choose to let go of what no longer serves, we are free.
When we are free, we choose again for what we want to be.

Many run from the truth of their reality because they want no responsibility.
Many hide from what they fear is theirs to heal, because they don’t want to reveal.
The secrecy of concealing shows everywhere in what they see.
The revelation of truth is healing and sets them free.

Awareness with grace is healing.
Awareness with willingness to see without culpability is gift.
Awareness with interest and learning is always helpful.
Awareness with no judgment flows back into wholeness.

When we see what we are holding in our minds, hearts, and bodies, we can heal.
When we tell our truth on paper, in prayer, in privacy, we can relinquish our stuckness.
When we are willing to forgive and just live, we are healed.
Tell the whole truth, nothing but the truth about mistakes and release it all for Good.

We keep creating what was not healed.
We keep experiencing what has not been totally forgiven.
We keep reminding of ourselves of what we fear forgetting.
We keep telling the same old story, thinking it will change our lives.

What will it take to undo the past?
What must you do to let only Love last?
What can you do to relinquish attack?
When will you concede it is time to let go?

No bandaid will heal what you believe is still there.
No medicine can vanish the scar you hold in mind.
No angel can clear what you at attached to keeping.
No promise can undo what you want to be true.

We have stories of limitation I keep telling my self.
Change your mind.
We have reasons to believe we are lacking in some way.
Change your words.
We have justification for why we see ourselves as less than.
Change your attitude.
We have choices we keep making hoping for a different result.
Change your course.

The Truth is we are unlimited, when we believe it.
The Truth is we are abundant, when we live it.
The Truth is we are able, when we go for it.
The Truth is we are creating it, when we suspend all guilt and blame.

Let’s be responsible and have fun with the opportunity to experiment;.
Let’s do the work and stop quitting on ourselves and reaffirming our old stories.
If at first we don’t succeed and try, try again.
Let’s stop hiding behind the fears and failures, the tears and tragedies.
Let’s make stars out of scars. (Robert Schuller)
Let’s give up what isn’t ours and free ourselves to be all we imagine. 

Tell the High Truth, not our misperceptions and human mistakes.
Tell the Whole Truth, of healing and holiness.
Tell the Real Truth, of the reality of Love and Grace.
See your life with forgiving eyes and you will know whereof I speak.

Loving us all as one, under the Sun.
Betty Lue

The Light has come, I have forgiven the world.
Fear has gone.  I am unlimited in power and in peace. ACIM

The 12 Principles of Attitudinal Healing

1.       The essence of our being is love.
2.       Health is inner peace, healing is letting go of fear.
3.       Giving and receiving are the same.
4.       We can let go of the past and of the future.
5.       Now is the only time there is, and each instant is for giving.
6.       We can learn to love ourselves and others by forgiving rather than by judging.
7.       We can become love finders rather than fault finders.
8.       We can choose and direct ourselves to be peaceful inside, regardless of what is happening outside.
9.       We are students and teachers to each other.
10.    We can focus on the whole of life, rather than the fragments.
11.    Since love is eternal, change need not be viewed as fearful.
12.    We can always perceive others as either extending love or giving a call for help.

Attitudinal Healing affirms that we are responsible for our thoughts and whatever feelings we experience.
Attitudinal Healing encourages us to re-examine our relationships, bringing them into the present by releasing past judgments and grievances.
Attitudinal Healing reminds us that perception is a mirror of what is in our mind.
