About Me

My photo
I am a pastor and a clinical psychotherapist. My life's passion is defining healthiness from a human perspective and paralleling it to the holiness of God, divine perspective. Shifting perspectives creates a paradigm that is alongside of rather than over and against. The parakalein of God and the paradoxes of humanity are redefined. Humanity is all about winning and yet we are losing ground everywhere. Divinity is all about letting go of the desire to win and the fear of loss. The Divine embraces the world with loving care regardless of anything.

Truth is as Truth is

Posted by Don Paine

I was walking down the hall in a airport terminal in San Francisco.  I found myself in the corridor of Deities of Stone.  Hinduism's main tenet is God is in everything and everything is in God.  While it does not seem so it does not mean that it is not so.

Genesis 1:31 echoes a similar tenet.  And God saw everything that was made and said it is "very good".  There is goodness in everything and everything has goodness in it.  There is a resin why God used no superlatives to acknowledge each day of creative fiats.  Each day is good in itself and as it balances and harmonizes with other days and things within days.

Jesus taught that he was the truth and that truth sets people free.  When we are truthful with ourselves and others we are set free of falsehood and futility.  In the multiplicity of truth there is truth in all things and that truth sets all free from agendas or attitudes, from ego inflation or deflation, free to be all that God is in you to be.

Rigveda in 1700 BCE translated by R.C.Zahnwe (1984, London) stated
"Truth is one, the sages call it by many names"
Truth is Truth regardless the name tag you put on it.
For me Jesus is the "Truth" not as religious dogma but as the character of honesty, honor and humility that perpetuate sacrifice, serenity, and surrender to and by all things.

The truth as I believe it to be in my personal living is the truth that controls and directs my living.

There is pone truth that all truth of honesty, integrity, and forthrightness is the righteousness of God in and for all things.  It is the world without end!  A world of truth justice and righteousness.
