"There is a call inside of you to discover or
re-confirm what, deep down,
you
know to
be the truth of your being. You know that the
concepts that maintain a pattern of suffering are
false. Intuitively you feel that 'hanging out' in
the energy of a deeper knowing supports you in
penetrating the lies and brings
relief and peace
to you in body, mind and soul."

Young, on 'Why you would choose to come to these
events'

Greetings!
Welcome
to Issue 2 of Truth's Company. I had a
flurry of e-mails full of positive comments
and support after the first issue went out -
if one of them was from you - then thank you
for that!
In
this issue, we have our first 'Names of
Grace' offering and in 'Cyber Satsang' we
look at a manifesting conundrum.
The
main article this month explores how our
belief in the need to be consistent prevents
us from flowing with the freedom of each
moment.
Also
there is news and details of forthcoming
Satsang events and a special invitation for
Men Only - to come and experience Journey
Man this weekend.
I
hope you enjoy this edition of Truth's
company!

India
Trip Update
Thanks
to all of you who have already expressed
an interest in an intimate group trip to
India. The nature, intention and form of
the trip has evolved considerably since

able to offer a cohesive outline of the
trip in the near future. I'll be sure to
keep you posted!
In

interested in joining us for this event,
then I'd love you to register your
interest by sending me an e-mail.

Calling All Men
(And
Ladies That Know One!)
Mar 15-18th 2007
At the end of
this week I'm off to Holland to assist Kevin
Billett as he gives his amazing 'Journey
Man' retreat. For those of you who
don't know Kevin, not only is he Brandon Bays'
husband and business partner, he is also a
wonderful presenter and an incredible example
of a man living in truth, open exposure and
embracing his 'man-ness' fully as it shows up
in each moment.
At
Journey Man (an open to men only retreat)
Kevin provides the space and the tools for men
to explore, dive into and finally free
themselves of their gender related issues.
Ultimately Journey Man is an opportunity to
uncover the truth of who we really are and
begin living fully as men beyond the 'man'
label.
Journey
Man is the only in depth Journey Retreat that
does not require you
to have done the Journey Intensive weekend.
(So, ladies, if that man in your life wasn't
so sure the Journey Intensive was for him -
then this could be a great place for him to
discover Journey work!)
Furthermore,
if you make the decision to attend
Journey Man, you will then be
entitled to sit any Journey Intensive
this year for FREE.
That includes Intensives with Presenters (such
as myself or Debs Burgess) or even with
Brandon in June. That's basically two for the
price of one (an equivalent saving of £345,
if you choose Brandon's event).
So,
if you do feel called to Journey Man
- take action NOW - it's this weekend!
And I'll see you there!

Myth
Busting: The Need To Be Consistent
By Joel Young
"I
have given up the
need to be
consistent"
Mahatma
Ghandi
Any
need to be consistent creates a cage around
freedom and can cause us to betray the truth
of the moment. It is not that following the
truth of the moment never brings a sense of
consistency. Nor is it about seeking
inconsistency - for a need (or even a desire)
to be one way or the other ultimately binds
you to a concept.
When
I heard Ghandi's quote for the first time it
rang enormous bells for me! It was as if some
part of me relaxed - like I'd been let off the
hook and finally had permission to ask what
was really here for me in each moment.
I realised how much I had contorted
myself in subtle and not so subtle ways in an
attempt to be consistent. I finally let go of
the painful idea; that it is more important to
be consistent than to be true to the moment.
You
see, the illusion of consistency is required
by the ego to maintain its sense of identity.
When we 'take up residence' in a limited view
of who we are - for example: a good boy/girl,
a bad boy/girl, superior, inferior, nice,
rebellious, victim, helper etc. - in order to
maintain this image (to ourselves and others)
we begin living in ways that confirm this
limited label, rather than in confirmation of
the truth of our unlimited potential.
When
a situation arises and the energy of your
natural free Self flows you to an action,
thought or feeling that doesn't conform to the
label, there will be conflict. It is the
struggle as the ego resists that natural flow.
It must resist, avoid or deny the true essence
of the moment in order to be consistent with
the label it believes itself to be.
Consistency,
then, is really an investment or attachment to
any fixed way, idea or desire. And though it
is commonly applauded and respected its real
cost is freedom, and it is based on a lack of
trust in our True Nature.
So
when you give up the need to be consistent you
allow yourself to experience the freedom and
flow in each moment. It is an act of surrender
to your True Nature and gives your mind a new
paradigm from which to operate. But don't take
my word for it - be still, meditate upon it,
experience for yourself - what feels freer?

Truth's Company Interactive
How you can get involved, no
matter where you are!
Cyber-Satsang
This month a question came
my way addressing a common confusion in
the area of 'Manifesting'. It went along
the lines of:
I
get very confused about accepting and
loving what I have now and wanting to see
a change, or have something more. Can you
offer some insight into resolving or
understanding this paradox?
OK,
so let's start with the basics. Who are
you really but formless nothingness
playing lightly (or not so lightly) with
the illusion of form? When you rest in the
awareness of your true nature you can
delight in the form as it shows up each
moment.
All
form is really a 'translation' of the
vibration that we emanate from pure energy
into 'a physical expression'. In a sense
you could say that form is history - a
wave of energy (an intention, a prayer you
might say) goes out like a ripple, and
returns after a time as form. Sometimes
what we experience then is an apparent
contrast.
Perhaps, by the time an older
prayer manifests - a new energy is with
us. Or perhaps the arrival of 'the answer
to our prayer' helps us to realise that
what we were putting out for wasn't what
we wanted after all, and some modification
of our vibration is in order!
So,
when you make your intention or your
prayer, know that this is the act of
sending out the vibration - or to be more
accurate, putting your passion into
connecting and feeling the vibration you
want to manifest now, sets the wheels of
formation in motion. This is stating to
'the universe': 'This is what I want'.
Once you have done that, you can know that
the physical manifestation is on its way
and you can simply enjoy the means to that
end.
So
here's the 'what's here now' part. Now IS
the means to that end - each moment until
it's physically here. Your enjoyment of
the 'means of now' continues to allow the
ripple to return. Whatever prayers you
have put out - NOW is a means to that end,
if it's not here yet. So love it - your
prayer is being answered!
Looking
for a deeper truth to the questions that
arise in your life? Why not put your
question in an e-mail and send it to me.
Each month I will pick one and let it be
answered in the newsletter. Please put
'Cyber Satsang' in the subject line and
send your email to CyberSatsang@truthscompany.com
Names
of Grace
Lets
face it - words can never fully capture or
describe completely the true boundless
nature of who we really are. And yet, we
tend to experience it first hand with a
particular fragrance unique to us, each
time, each moment - and some very exquisite
descriptions or 'names' have been offered to
convey this pure experience.
'Names
of Grace' provides a space to share the
descriptive names YOU have given to convey
your personal and direct experience of your
deepest, essential Self.
Your sharing gives us all an
opportunity to bask in the reflection of
these heavenly qualities.
Thanks
to Dawn Hubbard for taking the time to share
one of her early experiences of her 'Source'
and providing this months 'Name of Grace':
FABRIC
OF CONSCIOUSNESS
I
encourage you to spend some time being still
with this quality and invite it into your
life this month.
How
would you live your life if you if you knew
yourself to be the very Fabric of
Consciousness itself?
How
might this effect the way you felt towards
yourself and others? Your decisions? Your
intentions?
It's
an investigation - an inquiry - be open, be
light, have fun - and let me know what you
discover!
So,
who or what have you experienced yourself to
be at the deepest level? Send you 'Names of
Grace' in to NamesOfGrace@truthscompany.com
