Truth and Heart

As far as we can look back through history, we can determine that humans have lived their lives following two laws: An external law defined by rules of conduct and an internal law defined by their own ability to love.

Both laws are essential in the development of human society. Rules and laws have been set by leaders, and demands of the heart have constantly challenged these rules and laws until today.

After 6000 years of biblical life humans are still looking for the perfect laws and the perfect heart, and until those are found, humans will always be in conflict with one another. This is because they cannot agree on which laws or truth are best, and which emotions and feeling of the heart should they follow.

Truth and Heart cannot live without one another. One is internal and is not visible to the naked eye. Its position is subject. The second is read and studied through religious books -- and through other kind of books which are written for non-religious individuals -- the position is that of object.

Subject and object positions do not imply superior and inferior. Rather the terms simply refer to a position at any given time. These positions are always in motion and are interchangeable. As an individual grows older in age, the Heart has the tendency to be Subject and the Truth takes an objective position.

However, for young people who have not yet experienced every possible emotion of the heart, Truth is most often in the subject position and leads the heart. Therefore, it is very important for youth to better research the truth, which will ultimately lead them to the perfect Heart.

The greater understanding of Truth will make every individual capable of withstanding the challenges of human imperfection. The individual can then leave judgment to God while growing in his or her ability to love.
So today, I want to read from what I personally consider the greatest Truth available in our time. I have never read in my life anything else that can possible compare with the Divine Principle.
