Well yesterdays blog certainly created a flurry of responses via email of people agreeing/disagreeing or offering their own slant on what they thought spirituality was.

I appreciate the time and thought given by you all and always enjoy looking at other people’s opinions.  In the case of spirituality however it does require us to answer the above question, “What is truth?”.

If we don’t start by answering this question then everything we decide is relative and kind of meaningless.

For example if gravity is truth then we are compelled to obey the rules around gravity.  And the fact is that even those people who don’t believe in gravity are subject to its reality, whether they like it or not.

I am yet to see anybody float upwards spontaneously because they decided gravity “wasn’t for them”.

Now the problem with spirituality is that we are dealing with a mostly unseen realm and relying on people’s experiences making the whole subject, well, subjective if you know what I mean.

So how do we answer the question from a spiritual perspective, just what is truth?

Well I can only tell you what my 30 years of pursuing truth has discovered and that is this:

There is absolute truth, our postmodern society embraces relativism and pragmatism both of which basically encourage us to find our own truth, the truth within.

The problem with that is that I am pretty messed up within.  There is as much lust, hatred, selfishness and worry inside of me as wisdom so my truth would be quite sick, as would yours.

When my mum had her brain tumor removed I was entirely reliant on the absolute truth that certain parts of her brain could be removed without affecting her badly.  I wasn’t relying on the truth found within the surgeon because that is relative.  He went to medical school for 15 years to learn absolute truth about the human body.

So because there is absolute truth I searched for absolute spiritual truth and found it in God. Not some vague force but in the person of Jesus Christ.  A God who loves me and relates to me personally. More on my story HERE.

So based on 30 years of finding God’s truth to be absolute and infallible I can say that we are spirit, as I explained yesterday. And some things only can be fixed by applying spiritual solutions.

And this is the reason I speak out about the falsehood of things like the law of attraction.  A month or 2 back Bob Proctor started promoting a second level of The Secret because as he said “The law of attraction isn’t working”.  And just today I received an email from Stephen Pierce saying exactly the same thing.  Both these guys are trying to sell you into more stuff to try and get the secret working.

This is tragically sad because the absolute truth is that the law of attraction and The Secret are deceptions, designed to make them a fortune and keep you from genuine spiritual truth.   The solution to our ills lies in getting our physical, financial, emotional and spiritual lives in order and at peace, not following the next spiritual sounding sales pitch.  You my friend are way too special to have to put your future into your own hands or that of some non existent creative force.

I leave you with the words of a song I wrote many years ago now.

SPECIAL

Before you were born I knew you
I created every wrinkle, every line
Before you were formed I loved you
You’re not one in a million
You’re one for all time

Cause I made you special
And I made you specially for me
Yes I made you special
Cause you’re a reflection of me

Before you could walk I held you
I saw you sleep, I watched you play
And as you grew oh I wept over you
Cause you stopped believing you were
what I’d made you to be

Cause I made you special
And I made you specially for me
Yes just as you are you’re special
Cause you’re a reflection
A precious reflection
My child I made you for me.

Believe it, you are special ~ Stay Safe ~ Dean Letfus @ www.MassiveAction.tv
