How to Understand God (HUG)

The monthly focus is a written excerpt taken from one of Jim and Brian’s talks, with a link to listen to the entire talk. In holding to a one-pointed focus on Spirit, each month we post a new written excerpt by either Jim or Brian. The worldwide monthly focus on Spirit helps us collectively deepen our understanding of God.

June 2020 — LIVING YOUR TRUTH

By JIM GORDON

Monthly Focus ~ 

Give yourself three months, and make a commitment to yourself that you’re going to spend some time every day asking yourself, “What is my truth right now? What is my truth today? What is my truth?” And see if you don’t begin to pull something from within you that begins to reveal a simple truth of who you really are, and what it is you’re really here to do.

 

Full Excerpt ~ Jim Gordon

The one thing I want to help people understand is to get in touch with their truth, to stop listening to the truths of others that are being placed upon them, and to follow their own truths. But now, where do you find your own truth? What is that voice of truth inside of you and how do you begin to hear it, and how do you begin to trust it, and how do you interpret the way it shares with you? That’s what meditation is about. Meditation is a way by which you go inside and begin to touch into your truth, your inner truth. Not the truth of the world, but the truth of who you are as Soul, as Spirit, as Divine. 

And it’s a wonderful thing to begin to touch into that movement of Loving, and to begin to experience God’s truth that dwells in you, coming alive in you, and beginning to express itself and share itself, and demonstrate itself in you and around you, and for you and with you.

But it means going inside and letting go of all that is out here that has been placed there for you to see, to know, to experience, to believe, and to go inside and begin to let go of everything, to come in touch with the truth inside of you. And your truth is different than my truth, and my truth is different than another because we are all here to have a certain experience of life.

God has put the soul into this creation to experience creation, and to experience it in many different ways. That’s why there are so many souls inhabiting so many bodies so that God could experience life from so many different angles and aspects of it. So that God in us, and God in all of us, and God that is, can have the greatest understanding and knowing, and experience of God’s self, in creation, in expression.

And so, each of us are here to have experience in our own way. But in order to do that, we’ve got to get in touch with that which is inside of us that knows that truth, and begin to touch into that and live that fully. So I would say, give yourself three months. Give yourself three months, and make a commitment to yourself that you’re going to spend some time every day asking yourself, “What is my truth right now? What is my truth today? What is my truth?” And see if you don’t begin to pull something from within you that begins to reveal a simple truth of who you really are, and what it is you’re really here to do. 

And let it be okay if that truth that you touch into shakes you a little bit, stirs you a little bit, because it will. Because it may rub up against all those things that have ever been put on you, that you’ve been holding as sacred, that you’ve been holding as precious as something that you have to do, because: “I am a Gordon, I’m a Smith, I’m a this, I’m a that, and this is what we do.” Well, maybe it’s not true. Maybe this isn’t what we do. Maybe it’s time now for you to do what you do, and let go of all that other. 

Tradition is a wonderful thing, but tradition also can work against us if we’re not careful. So meditation is a simple action of getting in touch with you, with who you really are, with your truth, with your loving, with your essence, with that life force that gives life to this body. Look around. We all are different. We’re all having different experiences. We all are looking for one thing – love. We’re all looking to be loved, and we’re all looking for a place to love. 

 

Monthly Focus “going Home work” ~

  1. Do 2.5 hours of daily meditation, and listen to the talk by Jim Gordon titled: LIVING YOUR TRUTH 03/10/2013 
  2. Listen to the guided meditation by Jim Gordon titled: THE SCIENCE OF LEARNING AND LOVING | 05/20/2018 
  3. Journal daily: 

“What is my truth right now? What is my truth today? What is my truth?”

Meditation is a way by which you go inside and begin to touch into your truth, your inner truth. Not the truth of the world, but the truth of who you are as Soul, as Spirit, as Divine. 

So… one approach: every day for 90 days, write “what your Truth is today” before you meditate…then meditate and come into touch with the Truth within you, and then journal the deeper truth that is revealed to you from your meditation. It might be an awareness, a word, an inner experience… just start writing, and opening your consciousness to allow Spirit in.
