MORE ABOUT TRUTH
TRUTH EXISTS
If the truth does not exist, there can be no right or
wrong. What would one compare right to? If the truth does
not exist, there is no such thing as a lie. If one
believes in the difference between good and evil, right
and wrong, or truth vs. a lie, then one believes truth
exists. How can there be any difference, or division, if
there is nothing to divide? What could one compare
anything to? If one believes in truth, one believes in
God, for God is truth. Truth is absolute right. The truth
exists even where it is not understood.
TRUTH IS EVERLASTING
The truth was, is, and always will be the truth. The
truth, which is, and is a part of, God, is the only thing
that lasts. It is light everlasting. Anything else is
not-truth, and as such, temporary. The truth is
unchanging. Thus, when someone finds the truth, they are
finding something permanent, which does not wear off,
unlike meditation, drugs, self-denial, and other
temporary attempts at finding truth.
Should anyone criticize truth, they should be aware that
no critique of truth has or will withstand the test of
time. It is not mankind which determines truth. The truth
simply is.
TRUTH CAN BE FOUND EVERYWHERE
One may find the truth anywhere. Even non-truth defines
truth by exclusion. Everything that is not
"non-truth" is "truth".
I am not the truth myself. If one was the sea itself how
could one see oneself? A fish must jump out of the water
to see what the surface looks like from the other side.
Once the fish jumps out of the water, it is no longer in
the water, but it suddenly is able to see what the
surface looks like. It is the division of truth into
"truth" and "non-truth" that allows
the truth and non-truth to be described and known. While
one lives, one is like a fish out of water. Until one
drinks the water of truth one will not know from whence
one came. This is because the truth cannot perceive
itself, it simply is. Can your eye see itself without the
aid of a mirror?
There is only one truth, but countless non-truths. Many
know the truth, but are unwilling to believe it. They
would rather accept any and all brands of error before
accepting the one and only truth. Thus, in the Kingdom of
Error, the truth is an unwelcome visitor. In the Kingdom
of Error, all agree on the one thing that is not true,
the truth. However, in the Kingdom of Truth, all agree on
the one thing that is the truth.
TRUTH BEING REVEALED IS LIFE
Truth is defined by that which is not truth. To say
"the truth is the truth" is not to explain much
and could be said to be a circular definition.
Revelation, the awareness of uncovering truth, is what
living is. Life is observation, hopefully observation of
truth. And similarly, the covering up of truth, could be
likened to dying. Life is like a curtain being drawn open
to reveal truth. One knows not how the curtain will be
drawn, but the truth already exists, and awaits unchanged
beneath the veil of life to be revealed.
TRUTH IS HEALTHY AND CHANGES YOU INTO IT
The revelation of truth actually changes ones body for
the better! The truth actually alters ones atoms, and
thus ones physical body, to be more at peace. Let me give
you an example:
Suppose you lost your car keys. You're late for work, and
you become physically upset about it. Let's say you are
frantic. Your emotions are racing full blast because you
can't act on certain beliefs without your car. Your body
is in a state of disorganization and dissonance. Stress
is actually aging you. Now, suppose I tell you where your
car keys are. Wham! Suddenly, this simple truth has set
you free! You are relaxed again and on your way.
Something has changed you physically, namely, the
information which supports your belief system.
Tears are real, and they come from somewhere. It's not
just "in ones mind", there are actual atomic
changes taking place. On an atomic level, finding your
keys stopped the creation and flow of potentially
damaging molecules of adrenalin and other hormones. In my
example, when you found your keys, you gained the
knowledge which supports your entire belief structure.
Without your car keys, many of your beliefs are
interrupted, but with them, everything is O.K. Thus,
knowledge, and lack of knowledge, affects the body. Truth
interrupts delusion, and lack of truth creates it. The
more ones beliefs are aligned with God, the less they
will be interrupted by error. Thus, one will feel less
stress and more peace and contentment in direct
correlation to the fewer delusionary beliefs one has
acquired.
The saying, "Sticks and stones may break my bones,
but words may never harm me," may not be true. Words
can harm, and words can set one free. It all depends on
what one believes. Evil words can harm, and truthful
words can set one free if one believes them.
Perhaps there is something to spell casting after all! If
one is to believe an evil spell has been cast upon
oneself, then truly ones belief in the spell will bring
ones doom, or at least some harm to ones body, through
the chemicals it will create out of stress and fear
alone. Likewise, if one truly believes one is positive
and confident, then truly one is! Thus, unless ones
beliefs are true and free of doubt, one will be subject
to the damage someone can do to one through deception or
proliferation of ignorance.
Truth is healthy not only for ones body, but for ones
soul as well. Truth is the surgeon of ones soul. What
benefit is there to bring health to the temporary flesh
when it is only the soul which is lasting?
THE TRUTH IS OBVIOUS
Sounds funny, but the truth is not hiding; other things
are hiding the truth. If one observes all that one
perceives, one finds the truth to be obvious. Concepts
hide percepts. The word "truth" is not truth
itself, for words are but concepts of the actual thing.
THE TRUTH IS FREE
Anyone who comes to God is given a franchise in truth for
free. The truth is a prescription for all that ails one.
No one owns the truth, but the truth owns everyone. The
truth cannot be plagiarized, nor is it in itself
plagiarism. If you and the truth are one, then where is
one without the other? The truth will set one free. Free
from what? Free from pain. And, of course, there is a
corollary to this law. Anything that is not truth is like
unto a chain.
The truth itself cannot be bought or sold. People who
claim to sell the truth are really only selling fancy
wrappers that may or may not contain the way to truth
which is itself free.
THE TRUTH BECAME FLESH
The truth is alive, has become flesh, and has a name -
Jesus Christ. "Jesus" means "One who
saves", and "Christ" means "the
anointed one of God." Jesus said, "I am the
Way, the Truth, and the Life."-John 14:6 Jesus is
not only a man, but is indiscernible from God itself.
Jesus is not a man seeking God, but God seeking man.
Jesus, which is "the Word", or concept, of God,
became flesh, walked this Earth, and was sacrificed on a
cross to atone for the sins of all mankind. Jesus Christ
is the perfect demonstration of enlightenment. Christ is
the drawbridge to the Kingdom of Truth; such drawbridge
is lowered to all believers so that they might cross over
the moat of sin and enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
THE TRUTH IS UNPOPULAR
In a world that runs on delusion, the truth is unpopular.
The majority of people are ignorant, and thus, would
rather not know the truth. This in mind, one cannot
expect to be praised or patted on the back for teaching
the truth, in fact, one is more likely to be mocked,
beaten, and fed to the lions for teaching truth. After
all, it is easier to sin than to attempt righteousness.
THE TRUTH IS A SWORD
The truth is a sword, and like a sword, can be used for
protection from evil as well as for slaying the ignorance
of the world. It would seem the duty of any person, who
upon finding the sword of truth, would unsheathe such
sword, wield it wisely, and become not only a defender of
truth, but a soldier of truth as well. The sword of truth
is not to be locked inside a castle and worshiped, but
taken into the world and used to prune and weed God's
garden. As Jesus said, "Think not that I am come to
send peace on Earth: I came not to send peace, but a
sword."-Matthew 10:34 The lord is a sword.
The sword of truth is like unto a tongue of silver. Ones
own tongue is a sword. Wield it wisely lest one end up in
meaningless battles of hot air. A loose tongue may end up
causing harm to the body of truth. Pick ones battles
carefully and keep ones sword sheathed within ones skull
until one is ready to use it.
Interestingly, most swords used by knights in medieval
times were themselves created in the shape of a cross.
The sword of truth has a name called "love".
Where it cuts it gives life rather than death and frees
one of the bonds of pain.
THE TRUTH EXPELS EVIL:
The truth expels evil in the same way that light expels
darkness. When the light of truth illuminates ones
beliefs, ones aberrations scramble like roaches from the
light. Those who live in truth attract others who live in
truth and repel those who live in error.
