Value of Truth

1. 

   "Truth alone will endure, all the rest will be swept away before the tide of time." Mahatma Gandhi
   
   

   In reading a recent biography of Gandhi in preparation for a lesson I was giving in church, I read that he was able to bring down the British Empire because he aligned his will with a Universal Truth.  That universal truth was that all humans have God-given sovereignty, the right to determine one's own life, and are equal before God.  I am so intrigued by the idea of aligning one's actions with Universal Truth.  Another book I have read, Power versus Force, by Dr. David Hawkins says much the same, and it says the Universal Truths include Joy, Freedom, Appreciation, Compassion, Equality, Respect.  What if we align our actions with a Universal Truth in our role as caregivers?  That would mean, according to this theory, that we have Universal benevolent power behind us -- making the path easier.  What if we would choose to have all of our decisions and actions be aligned with Compassion and Respect?  I think it is worth implementing.
