Truth

Proof and acceptance

In this plane of existence the truth can be approached, reasonably ascertained, even known but it cannot be proven.  While the truth in its absolute state is pure and consistent, on this plane, it can only be a reasonably sure thing but not an absolute.  Whatever we do here is tainted, so all we can do is suspect there is a truth, but we can't prove it.    Nothing can be absolutely proven.  We can arrive at truth beyond a reasonable doubt, but it is not written in stone.

Even the equation one equals one can't be proven.  We have to accept it on faith and proceed and build upon it.  Nothing in the universe totally equals something else.  There is no such thing.  We accept equality because it is convenient, and in good faith use it as a premise, but we can't prove it.

Truth


Satisfying

When physically bothered recently by sinus difficulties I called up a neighbor who had similar problems and asked if they were feeling it.  The winds, pollens, gmo crops, grasses, spores, and molds build up at times and affect me along with others having a similar affliction.  Checking with someone else at least lets me know I am not being singled out and what I'm going through is in the normal realm, somewhat.

My friend spent about 10 seconds saying they are always bothered (not really a real answer) and then spoke about dressing and looking well.  Hardly the response I wanted.

Is it Florida?  A bunch of loose ends gathered in one place?  Or is it all over?  Or am I just out of the loop, outside the circle of balance and harmony in human relations that offers healthy and helpful responses?  Sometimes I receive a good response, often from a stranger, but I can't count on it.

Everyone is pushing beyond their scope, defending their turf, careful not to give up any ground, somewhat curious and needy but not willing to lose any control.

And while we quibble, not to sound paranoid, but I suspect the powers that be consolidate their position using confusion and red tape and doublespeak and allow the lowest levels of society to whittle away at what is left.

Oh, to find my way through this, with or without a friend.  To find a way to get and stay on course and know that it is so.  To find clarity and good vision in the middle of the fog.  To see what is true amidst all the lies and compromises.  That would be satisfying, truly satisfying.

Truth

Organizing around the truth   

All organizing around truth will be flawed.  If the truth is absolute but our individual perceptions of it vary, we will all have slight differences.  Hence we won't be of one accord and our visions will differ.  At one point, this will cause division and conflict.

Truth

Losing their power      

All  the secretive disciplines and societies are revealing their secrets today.  The Masons were on television with their secretive rituals discussed. The ancient martial arts are all
over the place like canned soup.  Ancient mysteries are being opened up, and revealed, as are ancient religions.  We are also seeing all their disparities. Their cobwebs are being exposed to the light.  Some of the societies and disciplines are doing it willingly.  Why?  Perhaps because the truth has begun to allude them and pass them by.  They are no longer where it is to be found, and as with jealous siblings, they jump up and down and
parade themselves wanting to regain their foothold as supposed guardians of the truth.
