Truth is within us through the heritage of our spiritual nature, and the spiritual heart's affirmation of those moral and ethical standards. The heart always knows the truth. But if memory draws attention to feelings of guilt and silent apprehension, it may be because we have neglected to monitor our activities as we advanced through time. Conscience is the scorekeeper of our earthly activities. Conscious of them or not, we cannot ignore, overlook or fool the soul teachings we have inherited that reside within the heart. And neither should we imagine we can deceive the witness-consciousness within us that observes all that we do, all that we are and all that we have become. We can trick our disbelieving minds and play to the needs and demands of ego, but we can never deceive the soul. And never the spirit within us, whose function it is to keep us grounded in truth and aligned with the soul's purpose in visiting the material manifestation that is the earthly realm.
