FROM WHOSE PERSPECTIVE LIES TRUTH |
ARE WE SHOOTING IN THE DARK? |
Have
you ever tried to line two fence posts in a straight line? No matter
where you put that second post it will always line up perfectly with
the first one. A 'guide' post, or a third proven point, is always needed to obtain an accurate and straight fence line for the other posts. |

We all see
'truth' from our
own perspective, but is it actually truth we see, or merely our own
conception
of truth. Not one of us holds the rights to truth - not you, not
them,
and certainly not me. Then who does hold the 'rights' to absolute
truth? In
addition, if we do not have this right, then why do we kill, wage war,
and bear
false witness, to our various comprehensions of 'truth'? |
Now, consider the image on the right, to
which an additional element has been added to the scenario. As we
can
see, all six perspectives were merely casting their beams into the
darkness. Oh sure, they may be picking up partial truths, and then
reflecting back
enough light for dousing up a good story, but still not capturing the
entire
and exact facet of truth. On the other hand, if we were to have all the
facts,
even if this knowledge does not match what old traditional wisdom has
told us
for centuries, we would all receive the answers we seek.
Natural instinct, common sense, and logic would go far to serve us a
large
portion of pure truth. We
would know for
certain there was only one direction in which truth can be found - all
others
would have no place in the definition of genuineness – nor would they
belong in
the basis of what is right and what does not belong. What a grave
travesty of humanity to base wars, hate, anger, brutality, and other
immature
behavior, on anything so nonsensical as religions, petrified traditions
and
rituals, corrupted knowledge, adulterated science, partial historical
accounts,
and bias determinations on 'truths' that cannot be proved nor accepted
by all
humankind. Still, this is what mankind has done for millennia, with not
even a
glimmer of correction in sight. Which generation, in our tree of
lineage, will begin to release the falsehoods that have led humanity
down pathways of destruction and corruption? Are we so
inbred, over time and acceptance, to the status quo, that we
cannot seek out that one true guide post that will give us perfect
alignment to the truth of our origins? |
