It’s a never-ending journey for all of us in seeking the truth. Whilst there are many times along the way where it may seem like we already knew the truth. However, life will bring up instances for us to humble ourselves through the process of seeking with added humility throughout our journey. We will be brought to a place where “we thought we know but we actually do not know”. This type of example may happen along the way so that we are humbled and remove any haughty assumptions so as to achieve broader perspectives with a strong foundation for true understanding. 

Seek to know the truth for ourselves instead of touching on the surface by skimming through information given by others without first doing a deeper investigation and analysis on that subject. When we accept the truth given by others to us without us doing a deep groundwork to know the truth and start sharing with others what we actually did not even understand thoroughly, we are like a parrot! Because divine truth is given to us everywhere around us. Truth confirms truth. This means that the validity of the current truth, will be connected and relational to other truths. It’s like a big jigsaw puzzle with many puzzle pieces which needs to be found in the proper location in order to fit and see the big picture. The problem lies in that there will be many types of jigsaw puzzles mixed together and now the puzzle pieces are mingled and you are supposed to find the right puzzle pieces for the rightful puzzle picture. When we are picking out the wrong puzzle pieces and didn’t even realize it because we are not carefully seeing the nuances and details of those puzzle pieces, it’s impossible to see the big picture! We could be picking out unrelated puzzle pieces even when they may look the same, but there will still be information on it for you to know it’s not related! The colors are different, the image is different or the picture is not matching. 

Doing the groundwork for ourselves by sorting and picking out the related jigsaw puzzle pieces is crucial. When we are able to see the relationship among the “truths” we can be sure, we are building upon the right foundation. But the hard work of doing this is still necessary. Otherwise, when we are not even sure of what we are getting from others, it is better not be a parrot! Don’t start sharing and teaching enthusiastically until you do the due diligence of embodying the information and integrating it into your own treasure cove of comprehension and experiences. 

Not until we are sure of what we are understanding, then we can be an eagle which personifies leadership and accurate vision. We start sharing what we are sure and have a strong foundation because we did the research and truth is founded upon truth. We are sure of the relations and know that they are truths worth sharing because there is a glaring association between or among them. There will be an unshakable awareness that is hard to dismiss.  

Don’t believe. Live the truth.
