Truth Thomas – A brief spiritual life sketch
Truth started this life journey in New England, USA toward the end of 1971. He was birthed into a materially middle-class household. His childhood home was located about an hour from Boston, Mass and 30 minutes from Providence, RI. Several things happened in Truth’s early childhood years which gave a hint of things to come later in his life. Once at around age nine or ten Truth was in bed upstairs in his bedroom sick with the Flu. Unable to get comfortable he suddenly heard an angelic, compassionate female voice making sounds as if to communicate “Oh, my beloved child is suffering. I have great love and compassion for you”. Truth never mentioned this to anybody and nobody else was upstairs in the house at that time. On another occasion spending time by a river at around age ten or eleven, when he was alone for a while his attention turned inward observing the thoughts, particularly the (I). This was a forced experience of observing the mind as if to say, “what is this inner mystery that goes by (I) and the mind?”. He told nobody of this experience either. On another occasion at age nine after watching the movie The Sound of Music he was given a dream implying how disgusting it was to eat meat and vomiting immediately on waking from his dream. Truth later became a strict vegetarian and not long after vegan, even though he didn’t know or heard of anybody adopting such a diet. Truth would marry a beautiful girl from Germany and music would play a big part in his life as well. Around age nine or ten Truth found himself with a group of kids watching a candle during Sunday school at a Universalist Unitarian Church. A member of his childhood home acted as president of that church for a time. During this session he had the experience of timelessness in what seemed like an instant 20-30 minutes had passed. The only thing Truth remembers while attending this church is hearing that in some countries children have very little food to eat and some even starve to death. The going to this church ended when Truth was only 10 or 11 and you didnt need to believe in anything to go there.Though religion was unimportant in his childhood home, appreciation for all the world religions became very important to him later in life as was looked upon at this church with the symbols of all the world’s religions in it, so also became the mysteries such as time, mind and spiritual purpose very important to him. Truth was made to see a spiritual snake made of light in his teenage years in his room. Later in his life came the Kundalini. As a teen Truth was a rebellious, non-conformist youth, particularly in the middle and high school years. This was also true for many of the local boys of that area. He also used Ganja and took LSD and psilocybin mushrooms on multiple occasions, and like so many others as a teen of his age he consumed alcohol, the great poison. Truth didn’t want anybody who didn’t truly care about him, or he felt to be spiritually corrupt telling him what to do. At age seventeen Truth decided to become a strict vegetarian and later at 22 vegan, except for his trips to India where he consumed a little dairy here and there. Truth considers himself to be an animal rights advocate. Also eating with consciousness and awareness was very important to him, yet like most people he was raised on the SAD diet (standard American diet). Truth played hockey from very young to age 15 and took up hobby body building from 18-22 most of that time at a former Mr. USA gym, steroid free. For a time, Truth planned to attend college for environmental science, but it never came to be, for life was always pushing him into a more spiritual direction. He took several college classes with undertones of Seeking Truth themes, such as psychology, abnormal psychology, sociology, essentials of physical fitness, human sexuality, etc. At age 22 Truth said goodbye to his hometown and headed for a spiritual community in the mountains of North California. Many things happened without effort on his part. It was also a school where they taught massage, hypnotherapy, polarity therapy, etc. Truth lived there for a time, doing a work exchange program, also taking some classes while there. The food there was 95% organic, vegetarian and vegan. The meals were influenced by Paul Pitchford’s book Healing with Whole Foods – Oriental traditions and modern nutrition. Paul lived there in the small community of people. The founder of the school and spiritual community, Bruce Burger, later wrote the book Your Esoteric Anatomy. This was a very intense place and Truth lived up there in the mountain community for 7 months. On his first ride up there, he was told that the place was too intense for most people. While there, Truth had an astrology reading and was told that according from an astrological perspective he was considered to be a genius, able to see things from many angles per the reading. Truth engaged in the practice of Hatha Yoga and Tai Chi, and he had sessions of hypnotherapy, polarity therapy and other forms of body work while there. This was very much a California of that time place with coed nudity behind the lodge and at the pool sauna and hot tub.There were some hard core feminist there as well.Lots of characters.The native american church with its all night peyote eating ceremonies would meet nearby.Once there was a funeral announced for a redwood tree that was cut down nearby.Truths closest friend his first time there just came from several months at Esalen institute.Truth from early on had an inner push to go to California, and so here he was. He also had a push to go to Alaska, the last frontier as they call it, where he ended up for a summer in the Denali National Park later on. Up until a certain point Truth identified as an atheist, not thinking there aren’t spiritual possibilities, but rather no belief in organized religions for some time, though he had a close childhood catholic friend and his family seemed very sincere. His outlook on religion/spiritualty changed one day on leaving a short Korean Zen Retreat in his early 20’s. Truth had a strong Pure Love, Bliss experience. The experience felt sacred and divine. Later he received an inward interpretation of what had happened “The Goddess had temporarily opened her sacred veil”, even though Truth had no conscious relationship with anything to do with Goddess, nor any outer influence to that end. Truth instantly took an unsatiable interest in what people around the world had to say about God and spirituality. This Zen Center was the international headquarters of the most popular Zen school in the world. Truth would show up there and meditate and chant with a group of people, because there he felt he could be spiritual without being religious. It wasn’t until later that he took an interest in the Korean Zen teachings taught there for a while. Truth never met or saw another member of his hometown there. The Center was founded by Zen Master Seung Sahn. It was walking distance from his childhood home. On another day leaving the Zen Center somebody offered him a ride home. He started spending time with the person who offered him the ride, he later was instrumental in getting Truth a connection for a Yoga teachers training course. His new friend made a living as a psychotherapist. His dad was the head doctor at the Capital City Hospital and his sister married a movie director and lived in Beverly Hills. This friend of that time was a real character and the outward medium for Truth to more intensely pursue Hatha Yoga. Truth has had all types of people put in his path. Gayna Uransky, one of the first few students of Iyengar allowed to teach his brand of Hatha Yoga, taught and lived at the spiritual community and school in the California Mountains. Truth practiced a lot of Hatha Yoga for some time before, during and after the yoga teachers course. Truth felt as if he was being sent here and there for spiritual purposes. For a summer Truth spent time in New York State in a small town and community devoted to the teachings of Rudolf Steiner. He spent most of his time there working in the kitchen, the only real anthroposophical kitchen in the world, as he was repeatedly told. He worked alongside Louise, who ran the kitchen. She was a former TM meditator, who worked with a president’s wife for a time and ran a health food store at one point. Louise and her boyfriend were Steiner people, basing their life around his teachings, especially dietary practices which according to Steiner was of utmost spiritual importance. Steiner even blamed the consumption of potatoes instead of whole grains as the spiritual detriment of Europe. While here, Truth made a connection with somebody who had been to India. Soon after that summer Truth would embark on his first out of four trips to India where he would spend a total of 11 months combined. On his second trip to India, he received two great gifts: 1. He met his wife in Rishikesh while teaching Hatha Yoga at an ashram there for a short time.One of the most naturally beautiful women in the world. The summer before Truth practiced strict celibacy on the island of Martha’s Vineyard while working there to earn money for his trip. He remembers telling somebody there that he would remain a celibate until he met his wife who needed to be a strong spiritual seeker/aspirant. 2. There in Rishikesh after taking a dip in the holy river Ganges at a little Chai tea stand, he met a genuine mystic for the first time, even though he felt that the head priest at the burning ghat in Varanasi the year before had something spiritually special to offer. Up until that time Truth never met anybody who impressed him spiritually. He had certainly thought plenty about attractive ladies, perhaps wholesome, perhaps nourishing, as well as some good street and other fighters, some people with a lot of money, those with a well polished social mask, but nobody that truly inspired him in any way. This mystic by the Ganges was introduced to him as a tantric and yoga master, he was the real deal. When Truth left after meeting him to go teach his Hatha Yoga class at the ashram that afternoon, a lady from Japan fell on the floor as Truth entered the hall. She told the others that Truth had come in with so much energy that day, it literally made her fall over. After this second trip to India, him and his soon-to-be wife Mischa, who was also on her second trip to India, stopped over in Europe for some time and soon they married. Fate did its thing and when Mischa had a miscarriage the desire for children left with it. His first home with his wife was in a little town in Vermont. There they both spent a lot of time with a flute maker who was big into music therapy. During a cross-country trip after leaving Vermont Truth read The Sermon on the Mount for the very first time from a Bible in a Texas hotel. Reading this with non-religious conditioning, with fresh eyes, seeing what Jesus spoke impressed him immensely. For several years Truth and Mischa lived in and around Charlottesville, VA between India trips. They often visited Yogaville, not far from their home. They also visited the A.R.E. in Virginia Beach, headquarters of the Edgar Cayce movement and did a variety of spiritual practices, etc. In Virginia Truth first started getting helpful inward information for people and animals. This started with the story of a swan. There was a swan that looked perfectly healthy; however, Truth had an inner communication that it had a certain deadly disease. Based on this he took the swan to the vet and was told the swan would have died in 2 or 3 days had he not brought her in. While in Virginia Truth discovered the life and teachings of self-inquiry by Ramana Maharishi. They practiced the Ramana technique for a number of years, which is similar to certain Korean Zen techniques/meditations - Who or what am I. During those years they also became very interested in Mata Amritanandaymayi. They received a mantra from her which they chanted inwardly and outwardly around the clock as much as possible for a period of 9 months. Back in India Truth took a vow of silence for 40 days, 20 of which were during 2 Vipassana retreats. After that one night leaning against Mata Amritanandamayi’s chair during the first Devi Bhava (mood of the Goddess) of the new millennium and few feet from the Goddess Kali Idol (an exact replica of the idol at the Dakshineswar worshipped by Ramakrishna), Truth had a genuine, real-deal Kundalini awakening at age 28. Six years later when alone at home in the Asheville, NC area the energy radically increased on Mother’s Day, along with it radically effecting Truth’s body and mind. Since that time the outward adventures ended for the most part. Truth and Mischa have lived in the Asheville area since 2001 and spend most of their time at their home retreat. Truth has learnt many spiritual secrets over the years, and he considers himself to be a universal spiritual being and teacher. Once, while living in Virginia, he decided to give up reading and only do spiritual practices unless somebody gave him a book without him having to ask. Within a week he received a book without asking and has since then read hundreds of books on spirituality, philosophy, psychology, etc. He has found himself inwardly immersed in the divine feminine. He had an experience during a short Buddhist retreat in Bodhgaya, India seeing the sun doing something interesting and inwardly received the words “sun miracle”. Later he realized that this was tied in with things in Fatima and Medjugorje. This and many other things over time have hinted that the future would involve the divine feminine. Truth has been to many places and has met or spent time with several rare geniune mystics but hasn’t sought out any gurus or mystics in over 20 years. Truth has spent much time in many different spiritual practices and cleanses over the years. He is no longer a seeker of truth outwardly but receives all from within his own being. Kundalini or the holy spirit of the Bible is a strong energy and initiator of a deeper spiritual process. Though many talk about Kundalini and the holy spirit very few have any real personal experience or real knowledge of it and its mysteries. The universal divine feminine energy is closely tied in with the esoteric spine. Some people who have had some level of kundalini experiences: Padre Pio, Saint Francis, Theresa Neumann, Maria Esperanza, Krishanmurti, Gopi Krishna, Mirabai, Anandamayi Ma, Hazrat Babajan, The Bal Shem Tov, Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, Saint Catherine of Sienna, Li Quingyun, Guru Nanak, also, a not so well known to the public Jain nun. Authentic Kundalini awakenings, authentic Holy Spirit awakenings are very, very rare and one can learn about real religion and spirituality in that rare state of being.
