To live in truth in this age of post-truth — to disentangle the lies and deceptions in which it threatens to envelop us — we need to draw on deeper, higher truths, and the wisdom, inspiration and power with which they infuse us. We are citizens not only of our own skin, our clan, our neighborhood or our nation, but of the entire universe, past, present, and future. This is the ultimate inalienable truth, that nothing is alien to us. The more we plug into this truth, the more power flows through us. We act from love – the power that interconnects the universe – and heals the blindness that divides us, binds the wounds of illusion.
