What Should I Believe In?

(Aaron's answer to a thirteen year old boy.)

Aaron: You have asked an extremely difficult question. What to believe in? I cannot wrap it up for you, Craig, and deliver it in a package. You must look into your own heart. The world lies before you. So many things seem to conflict. You look for truth with a capital "T," but truth cannot be spelled out for you. This life is your adventure. It is your chance to grow and learn. What learning would there be for you on this physical plane if all the answers were spelled out in a book? You would have no more need to experience and none of the joy learning brings. Yes, I have said joy. There is always the choice to make your learning joyful, to love this Earth you have been given and this physical experience. For your pain is balanced with happiness.

Craig, the only two truths I know with a capital "T" are God and love. All of those things that seem to be truth are either part of God or of love. Truly. God is love. Remember this if you will, and let it guide you. Whenever you have a doubt about what to believe in, return to this one truth-God is love and you are part of God.

You either act and believe in harmony with that love or in a manner discordant to love. All of your actions are one or the other. The more you move in harmony with love, the more peace and joy you find for yourself and bring to others.

When you find yourself acting in a disharmonious manner from what you perceive to be the flow of love, this does not mean in any sense that you are evil, or have done anything for which you should severely criticize yourself. When you condemn yourself because of your mistakes then learning becomes difficult. You become caught in a net of blaming and anger toward yourself and that anger moves outward to others. Be gentle to yourself, compassionate and forgiving.

When you have erred, accept responsibility for that mistake in yourself. Notice it and try to grow from it. This is how you learn. If you were already perfect you would have no need to be learning on this physical plane. Your mistakes are part of the plan. They are part of your lessons. Allow them to teach you.

Accept your humanness, but learn to believe in the perfection of your own, and of every soul. Listen with your heart and you will hear your soul's voice speak to you. At first it may be just a whisper. You will have to learn to listen well. Always it will speak of God, and of love! The more you allow these Truths to light your way, the less you will need to ask what to believe in. The answer will shine out from within, and you will know with certainty that you are part of God, and God is love.
