We often get e-mails and questions and I try to answer them as quickly as possible, but due to the backlog, it sometimes takes a bit of time to set time aside to channel the replies through spirit. Here is one such question and the channeled response. What I have often found is interesting over the years is that the message is usually dimensionally woven about the question and uncovers interesting bits of stories and information that can be applied to many life issues.

Question from a man: If you are able can you tell me about truth. Reply: Whose truth? Question: I am interested in knowing about truth. Is there a God and what is the major truth you would have us know?

Answer: Expectation.

You come to us expecting to seize the moment and catch us in a perception of a question that no one person can answer for those that would ask such a question already know their ambivalence toward truth. So we will answer your question in this manner so you can apply it to your life and what you feel you need to establish before all others present.

Recently there have been a lot of questions on expectation and how some come to us asking esoteric questions, expecting a response which would confirm their unknown position that they wish self-affirmed. More to the point that they seemingly are about the frustration levels one gets to when they feel they don't measure up and don't fit the 'group,' or in some cases, the family dynamics. Expectations are blockages that are generationally reinforced for as you seek to ensnare another you speak about how you have leaned to unsnare yourself from traps others have set for you, setting you up for failure rather than success.

So, we will begin by making this statement to you. YES, there is a God, the God himself, Elohim. It is the same God that governs over all in kind, universally. And this is the simple truth we would impart to you. You are an extension of that process of perfection. Be mindful of how you portray yourself.

Your history is based, as is your society, in a theological aspect of self-defined awareness. Let us start here, for this evening's inquiry - two men, two stories. Which man are you most like as you sit before us. Both men, accordingly born under the prophecy of a star, born under the same conditions, both sent into Egypt, both under edict were hunted down, both set laws one given one the living embodiment, both die and are lost in history. We will start by how 'truth' is shaped as it is now by those in power for this is where the perception of truth begins. You see this happening each day on your news and you spin your own sense of the truth to reinforce your personal belief system. Do you not? Why, yes you do, and you know you do, and your smile actualizes this knowing.

So, here is the story. You have been told of the Plagues and we have spoken to you about the Plagues and the numerological aspect of the number ten. But we would say to you that the plagues came forth:

[In this part of the transcript the editor has added in references for the reader.]

We will speak to you of the tenth. It is thought that the truth is that the son of Pharaoh, Ramses the Second, the pharaoh traditionally identified with the biblical story of Moses and the Book of Exodus, was struck down by the hand of God at the age of five or so. He was not. Ramses had, at that time, been (self) appointed as a God and was not acting as Pharaoh. His son was. Ramses the Second at this time was older, suffering from arthritic conditions. In short, dear Children and loved ones, the truth is often determined from which perspective you view it. So we have what you have been taught and what we know to be so. Verily, we say to you, that the son set out to chase the fleeing Israelites and when they came to sea of reeds, a seasonal marsh land, the Chariots became trapped in them and the Israelites turned and killed the Egyptians, including the young Pharaoh, the son of Ramses the Second. There was NO parting of the Red Sea. This is a misthought or mistranslation.

Or was it the truth, set for by a Pharaoh who became a God, set forth in history for a greater good, serving the ideals of the Egyptians? Is it not as noteworthy to be a Pharisees killed by slaves, than a Pharaoh who was killed, fighting a God's wrath? Where does such ambivalence to a perception of truth begin? For some a 'truth' is nothing more than what they believe but does this make something actualized, factual truth?

To hate is to murder as far as your heart is concerned. Hate can and has built empires and destroyed civilizations, especially when it is done in the name of a 'moral-calling'. It destroys you rather than builds you. But those who do right in secret are rewarded in the open. You need time and experience to make yourselves ready to be your best. You have to live what you believe.

The silent years are the years of preparation. An example of this is in the Bible where it says 'he grew.' This refers to Jesus Christ and the eighteen year period he was NOT mentioned in scripture. Jeremiah 2:13, says something along the thought, 'they have dug wells with not water in them,' meaning the projects are never finished and nothing is brought to completion and it was forsaken. For is this not the way of truth? The very truth you think you know, if shattered and brought into question, could reshape your whole theological belief system. And what would do then, that is, besides having the dismissive thought to kill the messenger and in so doing keep your truth alive?

Palms 106:12-13, 'they hastily forget his works'. In your words, what were you thinking!' This is when you do stupid stuff, like Sarah who asked her (Genesis 16:2) husband to sleep with another woman so she could have a baby. Ah, truth. Whose need does it serve? But perhaps we should address purpose, for what is truth without serving a purpose? Perhaps this is where the meaning of truth can be found. Then we should ask whose purpose does it serve?

Purpose. There is nothing that comes your way that is too much work for you. You often say, "I can't do this, I can't handle that, I don't believe that and I don't believe this." You cannot give what you do not have, therefore, you cannot believe what you have not been given the opportunity to believe in. To the degree you can become humble you can become exalted. This is a truth. True awareness only comes from being humble. Not in showing someone up, or putting someone down but in being secure enough to know that you can allow someone else their own truth.

Human passions and emotions range from the esoteric to those who believe they should never show emotion, which the later manifest in anything from a slight malady to illness. Man is composed of body and spirit and he thusly manifests love and hate, joy and sorrow, fear and diversion, hope and despair. For each emotion there is a mirrored counter-balance that co-exists within it.

You very much need to ask this question which brings us to perspective. This is why color is not the same on a pallet as it is in the mix mankind can manifest directly through his infinite desire to experience love which is his attempt to experience the infinite through the finite. This is why a man or woman could desire to elevate themselves. As we have spoken about, an example of this and how it can challenge your own individualized aspects of 'truth', one to the level of a God, themself and yet another elevated through the deeds of another. Desire, is an ideal conduit for the emotions of man.

Usually emotions are under the control of will and reason. Through moral law we are all capable of manifesting healthy emotions. Reason works well with regards to 'sensibilities,' and 'it' being 'reasonable', like warming ones hands by fire, you do not put your hands in fire. You drink water but you do not inhale water because you would drown, hence it being 'of reasonability'. Truth is always based in reasonability.

Without reason there is excessiveness which leads to obsessive behaviors. You must have a passion for moral law or your 'truths' can be obsessively dictated. Obsessively dictated truths are not sound nor reasonable. We have given you examples and now another example of the perception of truth.

Obsessive truths relate to many throughout history and being that we have mentioned theological aspects, we will speak of another 'truthfulness' that crosses-over from theology to history. Cleopatra was someone who used men to accommodate her needs. She did not manifest moral behaviors and succumbed to this. Octavian intended to humiliate Cleopatra in front of Rome. Cleopatra was a woman of low virtue. She did not care for men and used them. She had the demeanor of a prostitute and was a murderess.

Octavian had no interest in any relationship with her, negotiating or reconciling with the Queen of Egypt. She would be displayed as a slave in the cities she had ruled over. She must have had memories of her sister, Arsinoe, being humiliated in this way. She would not live this way, so as history has it, or as your perception of truth has it, she had an asp in a basket, which was a type of Egyptian cobra, brought to her, hidden in such a basket filled with figs. She died on August 12, 30 BC at the age of 39 of suicide. This was not the type of woman to commit suicide. She had killed to gain power and manipulated everyone that became entangled with her. Like most 'great' figures, their stories of 'truth,' once told and retold, elevates them to levels they more than likely never obtained, but which obtained their places in historical record.

As the fable goes, or 'truth' is believed, the Egyptian religion declared that death by snake bite would secure immortality. With this she achieved her dying wish, to not be forgotten. The only other ruler to cast a shadow on the fascination with Cleopatra was Alexander who was another Macedonian of whom we have spent much time. Such an odd little fellow, much liken to his mother, but we digress. Ah, your question.

After Cleopatra's death, Caesarean was strangled and the other children of Cleopatra were told to have been raised by Antony's wife, Octavia. Now to our truth. She did not poison herself as thought, by snake bite, for snake poison works differently than the myth and hemlock would have taken too long. Furthermore, do not forget, as we mentioned, people do not write their suicide notes and hand them to another before their death. They leave them next to their body.

Octavian controlled the written history as did Ramses the Second who, as we mentioned, was named a living God. They wrote the history to serve their need and stories. Cleopatra had a reagent, a son, Caesarion, the child who was a threat to Rome, the son of Julius Caesar who had no other children. At fourteen to fifteen Caesarion was sent off and then hunted down by Octavian and killed. Octavian could keep her alive and march her before Rome and have a martyr, or he could have her killed and make it look like suicide, and did so, and created a story to make him distant from it. So, you see, it is those who weave the story that have the power over truth. She was the last Pharaoh and with her death Egypt and Pharaohs were no more, but it was Octavian who, through his ego, established Cleopatra's place in history.

So, we would say to you that your truth is more than likely already established and in asking us such a question you sought to have that 'argument' reaffirmed to yourself and those here. But we would say to you that we honor your truth and your sense of it and whatever it may be for, to you, and as it is for each other, all individuals are entitled to their truth for it is what keeps them alive, either with love and compassion, or with bitterness and hate.

What you must ask yourself is, are you as tolerant of other's truths as you'd have them be to yours? We hope this answers your question.
