Traveling In Truth
by Joy Truscott
The pathway that is familiar was created by someone ahead of us in time who took the first meander along this way. That soul had to pay attention and create that route. Now we walk along it unconsciously, with little consideration to our truth. Let us stop and begin to see and choose again.

All right,
My darlings,
Let's get comfortable.
Let's get ready for this beautiful time together.
And let's honor the fact that we are making the time to come together.
And I really thank you for that because every time we do gather and we bring our collective energy and magic is happening around the globe.
And it's because people who know how to hold the energy of grace and love and compassion,
The people are gathering and they are making the effort to do it.
And we've really got to make the effort because if we don't,
It's not going to happen.
It's like that little idea,
Like if you choose it,
It can be chosen.
So with all our heart,
Let's hold that idea that it is because we are gathering,
Because we're connecting and because we are caring and we want to choose something else,
That this is a possibility that we can bring in.
It's just a wonderful gift.
So together,
My treasures,
Where you are right now,
Just take a deep breath in.
And then as you breathe out,
Just drop,
Drop down into the space.
Relax your shoulders.
Relax your tummy.
And feel that your back is holding itself strongly and connected,
But gently.
And feel your connection wherever your body is connecting into the earth.
Feel that connection and honor that connection.
Here I am this beautiful being,
This human being that is having the privilege of taking a human walk,
That is walking and moving and touching and feeling,
Sensing and integrating into this amazing world,
This incredible gift.
And we get to play in it.
So we hold ourselves here in a deep,
Deep sense of gratitude,
Deep sense of love.
We honor the earth that is holding us right now.
And then release your energy,
Just surrender all your weight and all your energy and all your troubles.
Release it into this moment.
And in your own beautiful space,
Bring in a beautiful deep breath and then sigh it out.
Ah,
Lovely.
Just drop it in with that deep sigh.
Relax the skin on your beautiful face.
Smooth your brow.
Smooth your scalp.
And feel like you are in a space of grace now.
And none of your human agitations and worries and concerns can come into this beautiful space because here we have created a pod,
An energy field that is filled with this energy of kindness and gratitude.
And we extend that kindness and gratitude to self.
Ask your beautiful being,
How kind am I to me?
We can stop in our busy days and just ask that,
How kind am I to me?
And if we were really truthful,
We would hear that we're not being so kind.
And we're pushing ourselves too hard.
We ignoring the signals of this mind and body ascending.
We are arguing with ourselves and we are betraying ourselves.
We think of that energy of betraying and how much that hurts our own soul when another betrays us.
But think about how often we betray ourself.
And ask your being now if you could bring kindness as a deep inner message to the core of your being.
Could I just bring kindness to me?
Could I consider this beautiful body in this mind?
And then feel your body respond to that with a deep yes,
Please.
And then relax the thoughts in the mind with the idea that you are giving this little time,
This little time away to soothe the mind,
To bring balance and to restore and revitalize your system.
It's a small little step off the busy path.
Now visualize this beautiful pathway.
And we know it is a pathway because it is formed.
The grass has become flattened upon it.
It might look like a little sandy trail.
And we notice that a path is never absolutely straight.
It meanders all over the place.
It goes around the boulders.
It twists and it turns.
And we know that this path is here because many went before and stood upon this pathway and did this walk.
And there was a first person somewhere along this line who took the first meander along this pathway.
And when they took that pathway,
They had to navigate and pay attention.
They had to look down at their feet and move carefully because the pathway was not open.
There was no pathway.
The grass perhaps was long and it covered up those hidden boulders.
And way,
Way back in your line,
Someone created a pathway that today you are walking along.
And ask yourself now,
Is this path still valid for me?
Or do I just walk along and along this beautiful path simply because it's here?
Have I ever stopped to consider that perhaps there might be another way?
Or that I could choose something else?
Is it at all possible that I could choose something else?
So see the path now.
And now yourself to sit down where that beautiful path is formed.
There is this beautiful rock on the side of it.
Sit down there just for a little while.
And then feel the pathways energy.
Look up at the sky.
Look at the clouds and the beautiful blue.
Look at the birds soaring overhead.
Look down towards the view.
Turn yourself around and look in all the directions.
And then ask yourself,
I wonder why of all the possibilities,
Of all the pathways that could have been chosen and created,
That this was the one that embedded into the earth and reveals itself to me as I take my steps.
I wonder why this one was chosen.
And when we look at it,
It hardly seems like the most direct route down to wherever we're going.
But somebody chose it.
And then for many years,
Many just took that path.
And now here I am halfway along this pathway.
And suddenly I'm stopping and I'm sitting down and I'm putting my feet upon the earth.
And I'm feeling the sunlight on my face and my back.
And I'm asking myself,
Why is this the path that I'm upon now?
Is this the path for me?
And if it is just an idle meandering through our life,
Then certainly this path could be just as adequate as any other.
If there was no real fixed destination,
No intention,
Just a mindless meandering or gentle meandering,
This path would do perfectly.
No need to change it at all.
But if we knew that this path would lead to nothing new,
No change,
And exactly the same of what it is that we are holding and expecting now.
If we knew the exact outcome of what it would be like when we got to the end of this meandering,
And perhaps we do know because we have traveled here before and so have those who have gone before us,
And nothing much has changed.
It has simply become easier in its mindlessness.
Is this the path for me?
Is this how I can be kind to me and honor this beautiful body that can choose so many ways of being in this world?
Is this the highest potential I can give for me?
Or could I challenge myself just a little?
And could I create a new pathway,
One that those who are still to come might find entertaining,
Delightful,
More exciting?
And is it even worth the effort?
Or could I just continue on this little path that's already been made?
It serves us well enough.
Then ask your being,
Is enough all that I can give to this life experience?
Just enough.
What would it take for me to choose another path,
Another route?
If I decided that from this point where I sat down,
That right here,
I veer off and choose another meandering,
What would it take for me to understand the importance of that?
And then feel what it feels like in the body when we decide to take a different pathway,
One that is unknown to ourselves and everyone else.
Feel the trepidation mounting or feel the excitement opening up.
What is it?
Which one is it?
And then turn yourself around and look at another viewpoint.
I could choose to go in that direction and ask your being,
How would that be if we did that?
And then you notice they are your feet.
They will carry you.
Here are your lungs breathing for you.
They will breathe for you.
There is your heart beating for you.
It will keep you beating into the rhythm as you move and continue to be alive and choose.
Here is this body,
These eyes and ears and all the senses and the ability to perceive.
How would it be if I gave my brain another vision,
Another perspective?
How would that be?
How would my mind interpret it?
It would have no pegs upon which to build its information,
No old systems.
It would be a blank canvas and everything I saw and taste and touch and feel and understand process through this mind body being.
It would have to be interpreted through my mind,
Through the brain in a whole new way.
And then imagine if you could look inside your brain,
What would the brain be doing at this point?
Immense synaptic connections moving and firing in all directions,
The whole body coming alive,
Aware,
Connected,
Searching,
The whole body anticipating,
Heart beating.
Can I do it?
Will I be able to?
Yes,
Of course I can.
Let me try.
And we get this feeling inside of us that there is something worth getting up for,
Worth living for,
Worth moving for,
Not just the same predictable path.
Maybe I'll find something that no one else has ever found.
Maybe I'll see the flower that no one has ever seen or picked.
Perhaps I will be the first.
And then feel what that could feel like in your body.
Now turn around again and look at the path that is well connected and ask your being,
How would it be if I chose not to take that path anymore?
How would we do my darling body,
My beautiful mind?
How would we do with that?
And we just ask the mind and body.
We don't tell it.
And because we ask the question,
Our system begins to seek the answer.
Amazing energies firing in all directions.
How would it be for me?
Just ask the question,
But don't move,
Don't activate.
Give yourself permission to do nothing at all,
But to consider a different path,
A different opportunity.
And then wait for your entire being to tell you.
Wait for guidance to open the door.
It is as if we have stepped up and we've moved into a passage of possibility and the door that we thought was closed.
We tap upon it with the question,
How would it be if I chose something different?
And chose to open the space?
How would that be?
And my beautiful body answers,
But I'm still your body.
It's still your mind.
It's still all your senses.
Nothing changes.
I'm still the divine instrument that will give you this movement through this life,
The ability to see it and feel it,
Taste it,
Touch it,
Record it.
I'm still the same beautiful instrument.
So then what is stopping you?
And feel where that might be in you.
We tune into the heart's desire.
What is truth?
What is my heart desire?
What is stuck and set and predictable?
And what is openness,
Expansion and possibility?
And how willing am I to hear the truth in that?
And so here we sit and here we hold the gracious space.
And the gracious space holds us.
Integrity is adjusted perfectly to every one of us.
Our bodies are still working.
Our breath is still coming and going.
Our heart is still beating.
I'm still alive.
And if I am still alive,
Then I am to continue to take this walk through this life.
And truly,
I can choose either of the paths because there is no right or wrong.
But when we stop and consider for just a little while,
We grow our awareness of our potential.
And even if we choose the path that is well set,
Because we've opened our awareness,
We see differently.
We start to pay attention to what is revealing itself now.
And if we choose the walk that has no forged pathway,
We pay attention just the same.
We still have this body and we still have this mind.
And we still have a journey.
And we will do this journey until the very last breath and the last beat of our heart.
And in that,
I ask myself,
What is my truth?
Feel like you are holding yourself at the very center of your being now.
You are holding yourself in the center core of your absolute truth.
Feel this energy as unwavering,
Still,
Calm,
Clear.
And let your awareness reach out from the center point like ripples opening in a pond.
And listen with your mind to all the information that has been bombarding into your system,
All the attitudes and ideas or belief systems and structures,
The doctrine,
Dogma,
Drama,
Static,
And see it as that static electricity.
And see how you placing yourself here upon this earth and sitting very still and considering your absolute center of truth,
How this is the eye of the storm,
The quiet within the center.
And then ask from here again towards the static energy,
What of this is truth?
And will any of this matter if I were to carry it with me as the clutter on whichever meander I choose to take,
How would it serve me and my life?
And how would it serve the pathway that I am creating?
How much of this tangled mess would I scoop in to preoccupy my mind and distract me from the beautiful flowers and the trees and the air and the creatures?
It seems absurd that these imaginings,
These perceptions and beliefs seem so real to us,
So real that we see them play in our mind.
And that we can barely see and enjoy the beautiful little top ducky walking across the pathway and the bird flying ahead and the openness of the sky.
How do we not see that?
Ask your being,
What is truth for me now?
And when we decide to get up from this point and when we decide to take that next step,
We will imprint into this beautiful earth a connection through our soul to the soles of our feet imprinting into the earth like a reverberating drumbeat,
The sound and the resonance of an energy that is so strong that touches the souls of all those who walk upon this path and awakens their soul.
What imprint would I leave?
The clearest,
The kindest,
The most gentle,
Truthful imprint.
Would I be the one to walk that path no matter how it looks?
And ask that of your beautiful being and then gently bring your awareness back to this moment.
Thank you imagination that can take you upon these pathways of awareness and for the divine guidance that pulls into these moments and opens up our insight.
Now this is truth.
I may you be blessed as you continue this life journey.
Take a deep breath now.
And as you breathe out,
Become very mindful of where you are.
And the time and the place and the beautiful being that you are.
May you be blessed mind,
Body and soul and all those with whom you journey.
So so much love to you,
My darling.
Thank you so much for you and for your light and for your love.
Just keep holding it.
Many blessings.
Have a lovely,
Lovely rest of this day.
If you need to hold this space a little longer,
Just do that.
Do the boss of you and you,
The one who can choose for you.
If you need to become a balanced being,
I prefer to think theōbe-iness of our Patricia.
