The Oblique Stratagems of Truth
Truth requires no allegiance, no loyalty and no acceptance to remain just as it has always been and will always be. As such, Truth does not look upon your attempts to deny its veracity and Light as some form of constrictive impossibility that serves to eliminate the effectiveness and utility of Truth to solve all issues, relinquish all struggle unto the outstretched Hands of God, or to provide all of the Guidance that you have for so long sought to discover and then employ in a fruitless effort to reveal some mysterious conclusion that has escaped you, seemingly available outside of your own ambit of attention and awareness. Truth does not desperately supplicate unto your consciousness, fervently requesting that you set aside the playthings of the ego in some vain attempt to wrench you away from all that you have previously held so dear and valuable, when all that you coveted was but the affectations of illusions of separation, so apparently justified by this world but which were merely mistakes effected in the interest of maintaining some barrier to the Return of Truth, an event of such miraculous import that once its work is complete, no further doubt will remain. Truth is simple, and yet the ego is anything but. Truth is elegant, but the ego is perverted and obtuse in the extreme. Truth is beautiful, but the ego is shamefully disgenerate and tortured in its endless desire to justify that which is illusion, seeking to replace the Unity of Love with the pointless schema of a world that seems determined to define what and who you are, when no such physical process could ever be genuinely limiting in any manner that could actually be said to matter. The stratagems of Truth are oblique - they are not deterministic or direct. They are employed in the interest of allowing you to seek, for just as long as you might deem it necessary and vital for your own process of convincing yourself of whatever it is that you believe to be of the greatest and most essential value to you, for all that you believe to be in any way missing, incomplete or incorrect within the frame of your own Creation and endlessly continuous existence. Truth does not scream in the darkness of your self-created illusion, wishing desperately for your return, with the same level of pain that you have experienced whilst you have sought relentlessly for some justification of why it might be that you have believed yourself to be incomplete. Truth is not tangential to Love, nor is it dependent upon any form of recognition or acknowledgement. Truth remains just as it has always been, but your ability to recognize - and then, later and at times latently, accept - the endlessness and simplicity of the Truth of Love is wholly within your own ambit to lengthen or shorten as is best for you. Neither of these systems of consideration, whether employed to reject that which is eternal, or to attempt to release all that appears able to stand in the way of its Return, are of direct consideration or evaluation to Truth, for Truth has no need of them at all. All of these mechanisms of awareness are wholly yours to elect or to set aside when you are ready to allow yourself to be Given that which you already have, a statement that contains an apparent contradiction but which is actually possessed of its own reconciliation, for what you are Given by God has always been with you, yet your ability to realize that you are already whole - in any and every manner that such a pronouncement could possibly carry an implication - is not at all an aspect of your endless existence that is governed by God at all, for if it were to be so, your Free Will would be impinged and that simply will not occur. The strategy of Truth is achieved through subtlety and Grace, not though overt demonstrations of the Unity that is your foundational matrix of Creation and rubric of education within which it is that you are to learn, for you already Know that in all of this - these presentations of Unification and lessons in Joy - you have simply elected to forget that which once was so very elementary that it needed no introduction or explanation. Were Truth to be insistent and overt, demanding acceptance and punishing those who refused its merits and Light, it would no longer be the Truth of Love - it would become a conditional schema of awareness, and that is diametrically opposed to God and to the Light of Love that is available to everyone, at all times, regardless of their willingness to trust their own hearts to the extent that God already has and does. Truth will out, as it were, but what is cast out is not lost, for it simply never was. All that is of God is Unitary in Nature and Complete in scope. Truth does not find any value in tearing away from you all that you hold so precious and dear, for you would resist such an imposed education in the Unity of all that Lives, and your resistance would build into restless resentment, seeking to defile that which is Pure and True with the imaginings of a mind desperate to continue to impose upon this world a power that it has never held. Instead, Truth will appear in the subtlest of forms, a minor subset of alignments with a sense of synchronicity or unification with a greater level of awareness or functionality that has no direct symbiotic nature or succinct explanation within the belief systems that this world employs to maintain your cowering fear of your own ability to transcend all that is temporary, bridging momentary and fragmented consciousness with the Eternity that is the Mind of God. Grace is not required, at least not directly, to Remember God and to accept all that is not of this world, for Grace is an aspect of surrender to the Will of God, an alignment that arrives after some degree of separation is established between your own ability to be freed from the iron vice of fear that your ego will employ to countermand all that is True, trying to be the false idol of your own imaginings rather than simply surrendering to the Love that is so very vast that it cannot be directly quantified - it is a wholly qualificatory experience that transcends all limits, allowing for the arising of a level of awareness that is Unitary in scope and Universal in nature. What is it to be accosted, at least to the ego’s mad imaginings, by Truth and then to be liberated from illusions? All of it sounds insane, again to the ego, for what could possibly be logical about the ability of consciousness to transcend all material limitations, when the ego is a mad fever dream that the mind is a byproduct of the brain and its endless bioelectrical signaling networks? Such a reversal of Truth is commonplace within the world of form, and it is not of any particular concern, when regarded correctly and from a perspective that allows for the creation of illusions that do no in any way impact the core of Love that remains sacrosanct and Perfect, preserved by God and awaiting only your own willingness to accept that you might actually be so much greater, grander and majestic than anything the ego will every allow you to believe. Truth employs all that is available to it to locate and utilize indirect alignments, minor occurrences that seem so very coincidental indeed, but which are part of a much more vast reharmonization of all that is possible so that, eventually, nearly every moment is one within which some event is transpiring that is more than capable of standing as a testament of the Unity and solidarity that you both share and enjoy will all else that Lives, which is all that is an aspect of the Awareness, and thus Love, of God. Force is not a method that has any hope of being implemented in the interests of anyone at all, for through force, there is but resistance, and all that is resistant to Truth will not be at all inclined to alter and to bend, even though allowance and acceptance is absolutely necessary to transcend all limitations and to arrive at a place of alignment with God and with Love. Gentle influences, minor arisings of lessons that are not overtly painful or unnecessarily disruptive are the systems of education that Love will employ to present to you all that you might ever need to be given to unlearn all that this world has taught of you of truth, so that you can become ever more willing to surrender all that you believed to be axiomatic in favor of allowing a vast panoply of new information and awareness to suffuse your very being, realigning your heart with your mind so that you can be led as is most appropriate for you, without any further flagellation and desperate longing for a revelation that you will continue to believe must arrive from some outwardly facing source, when it has always been the Source of All Creation that remains Unified within your own heart, awaiting only the time when you are ready to accept your Divinity, and through such revelation, that all else that Lives is Divine, too. This is all that Truth desires to reveal to you, and it will be Known and accepted, but not until you are ready to set aside all that is of the ego so that all that is of God can be Remembered, for from such a place of Unity, pain ceases and Joy reigns forevermore within your heart, just as it has always been within and through the Heart of God.
