Analytical Mind

[Flag-2005]

The 'truth' that we are spiritual beings who can postulate and consider.

Everything else that persists is essentially a lie.

The Bridge and its teachings are 'only' a road a map using many 'non-truths' and using these lies to parallel current MEST universe and life and help us see truth.

So all these tools are only an expression to be used and are not factual because in the MEST universe truths are not actually present but hidden under lies of our own making.

I don't have the logics or factors etc to hand but are they not our closest truths and not the tools that come out of them?

And don't they start with the closest truth and expand outwards with lesser degrees of lies?

Maybe one day the bridge will be one command. "Be" but I cant go that route yet.

as a side note with GAT I had to learn them all verbatim - doesnt seemed to have worked :confused2:

Damn those lies!

Truth is truth for YOU, not others. That's what I meant.

Careful, Nex. That's awfully close to: "it's true if it's true for you".

Point taken. However what is true is so regardless what anyone thinks. One can see how this place is set up and go on a bender because there is no way to do anything wrong. Knowing that truth deeply, even for a moment, might cause one to search for more, however. That is where Eastern philosophy is so valuable. If you look at the whole picture of why people have believed what they have across the world and fit that into the model, one can come out with the answer of love and move in that direction. Where that answer leads feels right to me. But each has his own way.

I can conceive that truth is the same for everyone.

The apple is always an apple.

What varies is the understanding of what truth is.

That understanding is arrived at as a function of a number of things.

Perception, and the resultant output after those perceptions have been milled through the mind of an individual or even the "mind" of a group.
This output is an understanding, not necessarily a truth. However, we could say that it is an "understood truth" accordingly.

But then again, this output is a result of my mind of which I don't have full perception of so it may be only an interpretation of what truth is.

"What varies is the understanding of what truth is."

Perfectly put! In this universe if you substitute the word "viewpoint" for the word "truth" you pretty much have the whole story. My opinion.
