- DirectorCarla Lee JohnstonStraw WeismanRichie MarcelloStarsNewton BaileyMichael BeckwithItzel BerrioWhat we think we know and have based our entire lives upon is not the full story. Man has searched for the Truth since the beginning of time but all along the answers have only ever been discovered and experienced, from within, in the silent language of the heart, encoded into the Creation DNA of life itself. The Truth, The Journey Within magically weaves the teachings of 25 visionaries, Warriors of Wisdom quantum/bio/neuro-scientific experts bridging science, spirituality, and ancient wisdom. The Truth, The Journey Within is a living message for humanity unpacked in a docu-drama about a family and the complexities within relationships and life. No one has escaped the suffering within the core shared wounds of separation we all share from living enslaved within the false programming and lies of separation. The Truth reveals the self-mastery wisdom and tools as a direct path to our individual and collective liberation, as our liberation is bound to one another, which is all part of The Divine Plan of Our Great Awakening in this Golden Age of Miracles upon us. The Truth is the invitation to reclaim the truth of who you are, of who we are, beyond our conditioning. Can The Truth set you free? As you shatter the illusions of "identities," what reveals experientially will be the limitations and false beliefs holding you in unbeneficial relationship patterns and cycles. Your Self-mastery lives within "the gap" of no mind, between stimulus and response. Beyond identity is pure awareness. This re-membering is your true unborn Creation Blueprint. Your core essence spontaneously unveils your divine supreme intelligence, as an expression of your highest purposed potential--to experience oneself as love, true prosperity, and deep intimacy, within authentic connection. As you reclaim your Divine sovereign authority, you'll begin mastering how to create "the gap" between your trigger and reaction. There is no secret, there's only The Truth. The Truth is our epic love story in the making. Begin the journey and discovery of your lifetime.
