THE SOUL’S REFLECTION, A FLUID LUMINOSITY
Through the soul, truth is known; the soul is a sure and trusted guide, the inner moral compass, which provides right direction to humanity on its journey from the unreal to the real. In the words of Walt Whitman,, “What we realize as truth in the objective and other natural worlds is not the absolute but only the relative truth from our existing point of view, by our present imperfect senses and cognizance. It is subjective—out of the person himself. Here, and here only, all balances, all rests.”1
When the mind is illumined by the light of the soul, there is a direct line to higher and more universal truths for there is alignment of the thinking apparatus with the soul. The thinker should be ever wary of truths proclaimed by some external authority, expert, or guru, for the light of truth must be wrought out through the arduous inner journey that leads from the intellect to the intuition. Higher presentations of truth usually have simplicity and are free from the glamour of over-complexity that bamboozles the thinker and veers off the straight and narrow path into byways and cul-de-sacs. Swami Vivekananda wrote that great truths are simple because they are of universal application. The enlightened thinker using the power of the illumined mind cuts through complexity like a sword.
Esoteric philosophy confirms the soul is group conscious on its own plane, thus essential truths are concerned with the common good, joy, beauty, simplicity, compassion, and loving understanding. In contrast, the devious nature of imposed truth and propaganda was well described as the Ministry of Truth in George Orwell’s ‘1984’.
The soul is not fixed in time, it unfolds, and it is not static. Thus, as the soul unfolds higher presentations of truth are revealed, as expressed by Robert Browning, “All's change, but permanence as well… Truth inside, and outside, truth also; and between each, falsehood that is change, as truth is permanence. … Truth successively takes shape, one grade above its last presentment..... " 2
Truthfulness is related to the divine principle of freedom whereby the citizen can express views according to their own conscience, which is the whisper of the soul. Truthfulness and honesty are spiritual principles that lead humanity towards greater light and through the power of lighted thought, as part of a unified world group, the Triangles work invokes the flow of light, love and the will-to-good into the hearts and minds of all humanity.
