Will the Truth Truly Set You Free?
I believe that the truth sets you free. But what IS the truth?
Long ago, I came to this notion: There are three brands of truth. Mine, yours, and the absolute.
The truth, as I perceive it, is colored by my life experiences, education, environment, associations, and the imperfection of memory. Just because I remember something having been a certain way doesn’t make it so. But the truth, as I believe it to be — no matter the topic — is colored thus.
The truth, as you perceive it. is colored by your life experiences, education, environment, associations, and the imperfection of memory. Just because you remember something having been a certain way doesn’t make it so. But the truth, as you believe it to be — no matter the topic — is colored thus.
The absolute can be totally hidden and unrecognizable. That’s because, apart from here and now, memory is faulty and colored by the above-mentioned things. It’s for this reason that people can believe in things that are proven to be untrue in the absolute — like the Earth being flat, vaccines containing microchips, evolution being unprovable, and the like.
So, if the absolute of is such a challenge to recognize — how can it set you free?
