HEARING THE TRUTH

In accordance with the kabbalistic calendar, there is a very unique energy in the cosmos this week that can assist us in hearing more of the truth. It may not necessarily be what we want to hear, but could be what we need to hear. Hearing the truth isn’t easy because the truth is there’s always something about ourselves we could change – something that could enhance the quality of our life, and the lives of those around us. Sometimes this truth can arrive as constructive, but often we perceive it as criticism. Maybe it appears in the heat of an argument or from someone who isn’t even a friend. We run from it, discount it, or pretend we didn’t hear it. But if we take a moment and separate the source and the circumstance from the critique, we might find after careful consideration that there is indeed a message of something we could improve upon. One of the principles of spirituality is that the more we step out of our comfort zone, the more we connect to lasting fulfillment. This can also serve as an indication that if we are uncomfortable hearing something about ourselves, we might just be onto something! After all, if we insist on not hearing what we need to change, we will remain the person we are. If we remain the person we are, why should tomorrow be any better than yesterday? The universe will place certain people in our lives this week who will show us what we most need to change. Don’t rush to your defenses. Let it sink in. Consider it. See if you can find those traits creeping up in the days that follow. Be open to hearing the truth about the parts of yourself that could use some improvement. Hearing the truth might not be easy, but a light shone on the truth means we can stop wandering through life in the dark.
