...Well, that’s easier said than done…most of the time! Isn’t that awful? Even as the publisher for a New-Age paper, there are times that telling the truth isn’t feasible. I’ll give two examples that just came up recently where I’ve wanted to get more involved but couldn't.
...A lady came by the office and wanted to take an ad out that would expose someone that owes her money and refuses to pay it. She says she wants the community to know the truth about them.
...Another troubling story brought to my attention was about a psychic that supposedly took $1,500.00, from a lady, and the lady feels like she was cheated.
Based on what I’ve heard, I believe that both of these complaints are valid but justice cannot be the responsibility of Aquarius.
...What we try to do is give enlightened information that will guide our readers to (what could be) their next step to spiritual responsibility. Now, the first lady has a signed legal document and I hope she pursues getting her money back. She gave the loan in good faith and deserves it to be returned. To the other lady, I want to say to you, giving that much money was irresponsible on you’re part and "NEVER" give money to a psychic or anyone before checking them out and calling around to other psychics and asking what they charge and ask questions that would make you sure of what it is you’re paying for. Most hearers, psychics and practitioners have a standard amount they charge, that is comparable in their field.
...I think this is a perfect example of being intimidated by other people. It’s like being with a doctor "the God’s” of the medical field. Shaking in your boot, worried about getting bad test results, or simply feeling too lousy to be aggressive enough to ask the questions you had ready to ask on your drive there. You leave the doctor feeling confused, unsafe, and often scared.
...My rule and attitude is anytime I’m paying for anything that’s a service performed by another, they work for me!……and I’m helping them make their living. Or course you should be nice and patient always, but not subservient. You should never be afraid or timid. Empower yourself by defining your role, and the role of others in any situation. In business you definitely have to balance both.
...The truth can also hurt you….if you’re too truthful you can lose friends. I’ve recently had a friend stop talking to me because I told her “my truth” about something that I believed she did that wasn’t right and was closed minded about and she got her feelings hurt. After 38 years of friendship and lots of history together, you would think you could “Tell Your Truth”. Just remember telling your truth is good, but if you do, always be prepared to pay the consequences. Sometimes you have to re-evaluate those closest to you and determine if you have enough in common to grow. Do you honor their opinions? How have you both changed?, or worse yet, has one changed too much and outgrown the other?
...In my opinion friendship is based on support and validation for each other, and friends are the people that need “your truth”, and it’s okay to respectively disagree.
...Speaking of disagreements, and truths….the truth is we are not allowed to disagree with the Bush administration (and I didn’t want to get on my soap box this early before the November elections). But the Democrats are looking for balance, not truth, just like any other business. If they could they would say this,
The 23rd Qualm
Written by a retired Methodist minister.
Bush is my shepherd; I dwell in want.
He maketh logs to be cut down in national forests.
He leadeth trucks into the still wilderness.
He restoreth my fears.
He leadeth me in the paths of international disgrace for his ego's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of pollution and war,
I will find no exit, for thou art in office.
Thy tax cuts for the rich and thy media control, they discomfort me.
Thou preparest an agenda of deception in the presence of thy religion.
Thou anointest my head with foreign oil.
My health insurance runneth out.
Surely megalomania and false patriotism shall follow me all the days of
thy term, And my jobless child shall dwell in my basement forever.
...Isn’t email great! This fit so perfect and I didn’t have to say a negative word…I love it when a plan comes together! So, The Truth is great, but we can’t always speak it. But I will remind you of this, in 2000 we knew the time was coming where truth would prevail. It was predicted that everything that is not built on truth will crumble, and we have seen a lot of horrific things in the last five years. We knew prophecies would come to light from‘ "The second coming of Christ”, to “Armageddon”. Are we in the midst of these truths today? Are we being set up for harder times or are we willing to embrace love and forgiveness as the road to travel? Time will tell and I trust everything is in perfect divine order. That’s my truth and peace.
