"We," and the universe are very efficient that way. The trigger may be internal or external, but the new insight or understanding is alway internal, because that is where "we" really are. @katk

Sometimes the truth needs to be brought to your attention from outside yourself, for you to realize where it resides inside.

I sometimes succumb to semantic squabbles, and realize they often separate us more than unite us. It is a pleasure exchanging ideas with you. I couldn’t agree more, Richard.

It lies within because we <em>are</em> spiritual beings – or energy beings if you prefer. Our time as <em>physical beings</em> is but the blink of an eye compared to our real existence outside of the physical lifetimes we choose to experience. Most of the problems we see in the world today are the result of people not knowing who and what they are, and that we are all connected. Looking within really has nothing to do with religion, or teachers, or authority, or someone's idea of god, and it certainly doesn't require adherence to any belief or dogma. At least it doesn't for me; I left that behind long ago. The fact is most modern religions don't want you looking inward to find out who and what you really are because that would ultimately negate the need for them. The goal of course is to get to a point where we <em>know</em> (rather than believe) there isn't a within and a without, and that what we typically see as two different worlds is simply a matter of perspective rather than a real division, because in truth there is no division. The fact that most people do not have that inner connection with what they truly are is what has created the division. Having said all that it was really just an exercise in semantics. What you call finding your "own source of truth" I call looking within. Each of us will find our own path and come to it in our own time, which is as it should be. And by the way, thanks for the link and I'll link back to you. @muse
