You Know the Answer: Chapter One and Chapter Samples

New age, new thought, and all you need to know.

The whole world is you. Yet you keep thinking there is something else.

- Hsueh-Feng

I know that truth is not the answer. Nor can it be. Truth is like an exercise machine – it just sits in the corner; useless until you get on and ride it. When anyone tells me “It’s the truth”, I immediately discount everything that comes after that. If it’s the truth, there’s no need to tell me it is. If it isn’t true, telling me it is won’t make it any truer. Therefore the truth I want to share with you, the truth I know is true, is for information only (FYI). Yes, truth works. Yes, they’re useful. Maybe even fundamental to inner satisfaction. Since you already know the truth, there is no reason for me to tell you. And you know the truth, because when you hear it, it fits. It feels right and it passes every test. Still, if you want to read them once and let them get dusty, that’s all right with me.

Chapter One: What’s All This?

Everyone you know is one and the same thing. Everything you see is one and same thing. Everything that has ever been, is now, or will ever be is one and same thing. There’s only one thing that makes up everything we see, hear, think and feel. What we do with this knowledge or don’t do is up to each of us.

That’s it. End of story.

Still, some people seem to require a little more detail.

There is only one kind of thing that makes up us and everyone else. The test is to see is true is if this explanation of the world we know helps us in dealing with whatever happens to, through and around us.

Oftentimes have I heard you speak of one who commits a wrong as though he were not one of you, but a stranger unto you and an intruder upon your world. But I say that even as the holy and the righteous cannot rise beyond the highest which is in each one of you, so the wicked and the weak cannot fall lower than the lowest which is in you also.
