These past two weeks, we have explored some dramatic ways to change the way you could complete the phrase, “Cross my heart, and hope to …” We’ve talked about Cross my heart and hope to SEE Truth; and Cross my heart and hope to SPEAK Truth.

This week is our final recommendation … and perhaps the most important of all for our spiritual growth.

Cross my heart and hope to BE Truth:

This means we become one with the Truth of who we are and let our light shine! In other words, we get out of our own way! At a recent Meditation Class we facilitated, we practiced an Art Meditation. The activity asked people to think of an issue they are dealing with in their lives that they’d like Spiritual insight on. Then we go into a meditation, and when they are ready, people get up and select paper and art supplies, then just draw, without really having a plan of what to expect or what it will look like. Following the meditation, people are invited to share their experience if they’d like, as well as describe what showed up on their paper.

What was so neat about what one person in the class shared was that she did not expect this to be a meaningful experience. She was really skeptical. However, to her credit, she decided to go ahead and do it with an open mind and see what happened. As she began, she came up with a drawing, but it didn’t feel right, so she grabbed another piece of paper and started again — and more ideas and thoughts flowed to her, and she did a third drawing which really spoke to her, and brought some amazing insights.

What a perfect example of allowing yourself to BE Truth, whether you actually think it will be helpful or not; regardless of what the world of appearance is saying; regardless of what you feel about it; in spite of what you are hearing from your internal Cynic… just BE Truth, and allow the Christ of you to speak and guide you.

As we learn to “Cross our heart and BE Truth” we cross out error and move one step closer to Enlightenment.

This week, you have incredible adventures just waiting to happen for you … opportunities to grow more into your Christhood … opportunities to move further along on that incredible journey of your own spiritual growth and development.  So we encourage you to Cross Your Heart and Hope to — no, we want you to KNOW that you will —

• See Truth,
• Speak Truth, and
• Be Truth. .. and let your light shine —

So you can experience the joy of enlightenment as you walk the spiritual path on practical feet.
