In today\u2019s world it is very obvious that truth is variable as it relates to the beliefs of people. With her notes, Hollie got me centered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n She told of how her kids were taught to count in school. It began with the children being given a stick to represent the number one; from there the stick could be broken down into pieces representing the other numbers. \u2018One is truth\u2019, I said to myself. Then the children were given the image of the Sun to represent the number one. This is also truth for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When I was on retreat for seminary, I saw manifest for me all the aspects of Love that have become obvious during the year of ACIM lessons. I see Love as light, peace, joy, truth, and strength. At the retreat, truth showed itself through conversations about authenticity. I saw that I was authentic when I was honest within myself, to myself; basically expressing my true Self. My true Self knows they are part of the Whole, Child of the Sun, and an expression of All That Is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I am in need of nothing but connection to God. This is my truth. This is my authentic Self. This is who I am when I remove the blocks to the flow of Love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI sought for many things \u2026 But now see that I need only truth.
