What we understand and believe to be true is based upon an agreement. When that agreement of what is true changes, what was believed to be true may also change. There was a time in Europe where there was an agreement that the world was flat. The truth was based upon a collective agreement and belief. When it was proven that the world was not flat, the agreement changed and so did the understanding of the truth about the world.
Governments create laws based upon agreement, when the numbers of individuals that disagree with a current law is greater than those that agree; the law will change, due to a change in agreement by the majority. This will also create a change in what many will understand and believe to be true. Trying to change an agreement of truth in organized religion was always a dangerous business throughout history.
During the time of Galileo the leaders of the Catholic Church agreed that the sun revolved around the earth. This agreement was understood and believed to be true. Galileo tried to change the agreement about the earth and the sun. Even after the agreement changed and the truth about the sun and the earth changed, it took the church 300 years to forgive Galileo for trying to change their agreement of the truth.
History also tells us that the Catholic Church also sanctioned the colonization and enslavement of Africans creating an agreement of European superiority and African inferiority for economical reason. Like most agreements that become a collective truth, when the collective agreement changes the truth will change.
We are moving into a time of clarity and a change in many of the agreements that people considered to be true. I may seem overly optimistic by many when I say that I believe a greater number of individuals throughout the world are starting to embrace a spiritual oneness within themselves and their external environment now more than ever before in modern history. I believe the future will bring a change in many agreements that have long been considered true about, wellness, politics, religion, wealth, and race. Agreements are hard to change but the truth about anything is based on an individual or group agreement. Some will never change what they agree to be true individually or as a group. There are some who still argue that the world is flat.
What does all this mean to you? What you understand to be true about yourself, your environment, and your abilities are agreed upon truths that can change if your agreement about yourself changes.
It is important to understand that you most have faith to change your agreement of truth about yourself and others. What many believe to be true about themselves and others is based on individual and or collective agreements; agreements that can be changed.
