Recognizing and Acknowledging Truth

By Lori Lines

As I grow older,  having gathered so much experience through duality in relationships of all kinds, I'm able to discern truth from a lie much quicker than ever before. It's as if a sticky feeling in my solar plexus emerges and it won't let go of me until either the lie or half-truth is revealed or until I just trust it and walk away. And, I realize this feeling has always been there, where truth needs to be faced, but my awareness of it has intensified to a noticeable level.

It's been more challenging with myself when I realized I wasn't being true to myself as well as those individuals who have been my "wound-mates" and "soul mates." But the feeling is just the same. It's as if I'm not free until I trust myself, fully, in that moment. I've learned to trust that "gut" feeling more as I've detached from the desire for certain outcomes. I'm learning if I acknowledge and follow my own truth, then truth acknowledges and follows me. And I feel free to be me again. Isn't relationship wonderful? I mean, this is one of the main reasons people enter into our lives...to show us who we really are...to get down to our core and to present us with the opportunity to choose to live in that space.  I love choice. It's a gift.
