"Truth fears no questions." Anonymous

Welcome to Spiritual Enlightenment

At some point during my adult years, I looked back on my life and realized I was a fraud. My physical world was drastically out of alignment with my spiritual one. It was similar to cooking an elaborate meal while starving, but not being able to consume it. I grew up in a very strict Christian setting dominated by Southern Baptist doctrines. Church every Sunday, choir, usher board, trustee board, Sunday school, morning service, evening service... the environment was filled with bible-toting scripture-quoting tongue-speaking hallelujah shouting folks! Fortunately, I was exposed to many people of integrity and positive influences that instilled in me priceless values. My parents emphasized education until it was drilled into my psyche. On the flip side, I was fed a lot of half-truths, partial truths, and altered truths by so-called well-meaning people. Ignorance, closed-mindedness, pride, & arrogance are likely some of the causative factors. Therefore, I impersonated what a Christian should look and act like based on deficient information. There was no valid connection between the worldly me and my higher self. I impersonated what a Christian should look and act like, but I had no real relationship with my Creator. I prayed to a God I was told to pray to quoting the prayers I was taught to quote. Like a soldier taking orders from his commanding officer: You do as you are told and trained to do whether you are feeling it or not!

Out of Nowhere

I am not sure what event triggered my self-realization, yet it was life-transforming. The process is nowhere near complete rendering an ongoing journey. A crucial part of my being that was sleep woke up and jolted me to the core. Sadly, many people live their whole lives and depart without recognizing that crucial element. My recognition of that element catapulted my mind to a higher wave length. There was a burst of clarity illuminating my understanding of almost everything.

One major area of enlightenment is human sensuality--the mother of physical intimacy. The religious forums that dominate the media treat it like it is nonexistent (unless a scandal hits the news) or something to shun from discussion. In contrast, sensuality should be celebrated and promoted within a God-ordained context. Consequently, inner eyes open, new ideas blossom, paradigms shift, and higher consciousness ensues.

Spiritual enlightenment brings about intelligence and inner peace. It is not about being a Biblical scholar or expert on religious topics because I am neither--far from it! I started this blog not just to disperse information, but to gain knowledge and expand my horizons. It is truly about making a connection with God who leads us to connecting with deeper aspects of ourselves. Those deeper aspects make up the true self...not our careers, bank accounts, personal possessions, or physical bodies.

Our Eclectic Universe

The physical universe is evidence that the Creator loves diversity. A child of the universe, planet Earth, clearly follows suit with its potpourri of life forms. Within the same life form is remarkable variation ( different species of fish, plants, human racial groups, etc). Does it not stand to reason diversity is expressed on every level of existence/consciousness? It does not matter if you are Christian, Buddhist, Muslim, etc. because you are a different expression of the same universe. Different cloths of fabric are required to construct the quilt. I discovered that all religions contribute knowledge and perspectives that are necessary to complete life's masterpiece. It seems as if everyone has a piece to the puzzle of the universe that may never be fully explained on this realm.

The paths we choose to take to self-realization are possible through the gift from God called free will. I have discovered there are far more similarities than differences between the major philosophies that lend more support of each other than contradiction. Besides, I dare to count the numerous contradictions that exist just within the Christian faith. Historical and present events demonstrate other religions are plagued with the same multiple interpretations/variations. At one time, the news was flooded with horror stories of conflicts between the Sunni and Shiite Muslims...there is only one Quran is there not??? No one, no science, no religion has escaped the divisiveness of multiple perspectives. Conflicting interpretations give birth to confusion, disbelief, and disillusionment.

One will be greatly distracted if not focused on their own inner voice. It's the God inside of you and me. Ultimately, that is the key: Hearing your own inner voice because once that occurs everything else falls into place.

Truth Versus Belief

Truth and Belief 
Not the Same Thing  
Truth is universal. Beliefs emerge from human culture. Truth has a spiritual or supernatural source, whereas, belief has a physical or natural source. Beliefs may have elements of truth, but the source is man-made. Both truth and belief can be rejected.


There are a massive number of people who do not know the difference between truth and belief. They have been systematically programmed and find it difficult, if not impossible to separate the two. The lines have been blurred and information misinterpreted. Beliefs have twisted the symbolism of ancient wisdom to the literal interpretation of things, people, and places. Religious beliefs focus more on the allegories than the messages they are meant to convey. As a result, distorted and false explanations of human existence are promoted and everybody thinks their version is correct leading to conflict and indifference.

The truth, as opposed to belief, does not require the support of human consciousness in order to manifest. The truth is pure consciousness and the reality that emerges from it. Belief systems, such as religion, are fundamentally man-made attempts to explain reality. They are created to explain phenomenon when the truth is not accessible or hidden (occult). Truth lies within objectivity...there is no distortion by human perception. It infinitely is what it is regardless of any support of the human thought process or viewpoint...it stands on its own. On the other hand, beliefs cannot exist without human interest and subjectivity being fed by mental energy. Yes, it may be true that if one believes something fervently enough (faith), it can manifest (become truth). However, it still must operate within the parameters of the truth and it's universal laws. The truth ultimately provides the conditions necessary for the belief to manifest.

Truth is based on facts supported by mathematics and empirical or scientific data, such as quantum physics. Belief is solely based on faith.
The truth empowers and promotes growth. Belief weakens and promotes stagnation.
Truth promotes independence. Belief promotes dependence.
Truth provides freedom. Belief imprisons.
Truth unites. Belief separates.
Truth never changes and is eternal. Belief is changeable based on temporary circumstances.

Terms that describe individuals who have discarded their beliefs and embraced truth include terms such as, ascended, awakened, enlightened, and illuminated.


There are 14 universal laws that govern truth and define how our world operates. Once we understand and apply them, the quality of our lives will improve.
Embracing truth is not an easy process, particularly when the mind has been reprogrammed to discard various belief systems. The discarding of belief systems or becoming awakened is an upgrade which requires growth. The initial stages of awakening can be unpleasant due to the growth process and the growing pains that accompany it. However, the destination is indeed worth the journey!
There is your truth
There is my truth, then,
There is THE truth

It has been a common school of thought that the various belief systems (religion) were created to explain the truth. However, there is historical evidence that suggests certain belief systems were created to actually hide or alter the truth. What examples do you know of that support religion being used to hide or alter the truth and for what reason(s)?
