The following are some guidelines for recognizing truth.

· If something is true, it does not generate fear or create harm.

· Truth exists outside of linear time, yet you access it in present time.

· When someone insists that only their religion or philosophy is right, they are not presenting truth but energies of exclusion and control.

· If something of supposed merit appears false when you first hear it, or you are unsure of whether to trust it, be open to the possibility that the idea could be partly or wholly true.

· With information that appears to be at least partially true, inquire within yourself to discover what aspect is true so
you do not unconsciously digest the whole package as true.

· When someone shares a truth of what has helped them personally, be willing to hear their sharing without judgment, allowing your own inner wisdom and life experience to show you if and how it applies to you. Be careful of taking in anyone else's truth as your own without first investigating it fully.
