Book Cover & Preview Text
Introduction Truth is a word that is often used to attempt manipulating individuals in a certain direction. For a sales person the alleged Truth is what sells the product. In life itself each individual wants to know the truth. Relationships are built on Truth and destroyed by the lack of it. Positive emotional responses are always associated with finding Truth and the flip side with realizing what you thought was Truth is really not the Truth. Sometimes a person will say that they really don’t want to know the Truth. Truth has not tact but at some point everyone will want to know the Truth. Truth is not so elusive that one can’t find it. It is not like a rainbow. Whenever you seek the starting point of a rainbow and you finally reach what appeared to be the place of it’s beginning the rainbow will either disappear or will be seen in a different location. This is because a rainbow is not tangible. In that sense it is similar to a mirage. Both are seen as real from a particular point of your perception. In reality a rainbow appears by the refraction of light as the light rays pass through the prisms created by water droplets. Indifferent to the appearance of a rainbow “Truth” does not disappear when you seek its source. “Truth” is perpetual, immutable and eternal. At some point, when sought, “Truth” will be found because it does exist. Truth is never the illusion or the rainbow of your perception. Many professed and supposed truths are only illusions and like the rainbow, when they are sought in depth, they will disappear. Factual Truth is incapable of changing. If what is represented to be Truth does change in some portion then one can be assured that it was not the Truth at all, It was only our perception of an illusion representing itself to be Truth. Truth is synonymous with what is represented by this biblical statement; “I am the same yesterday, today and forever. I change not”. Searching for Truth is an endeavor that becomes never ending. In the long run the time spent will be worth every minute of your multifaceted efforts to continue finding it. This difficult struggle is well defined by this statement from Jeremiah 5:1 (NIV): “If you can find but one person who deals honestly and seeks the truth. I will forgive this city”. At this particular time and place, finding an individual who did what was right and sought the truth must have been impossible because Jeremiah goes on to foretell the destruction of Jerusalem. The important issue here is that it is not important to only do what is right, one must also seek the truth. You will become excited when you are finding Truth, especially when you are finding out the facts concerning what you previously never acknowledged before. It is important to realize that the Truth you have found is not the end of your search. Truth, once found, is the doorway to further Truth. It is the beginning part of a path that leads toward further Truth. You can never find all of the Truth or contain all of it in one session of discovery. The individual mind that holds that particular gem of Truth should never keep or store it within a mental attitude that is similar to a closed container. The mind must remain open so that any false information that has entered under the disguise of Truth can be exposed by “De jure
Formats Book Details Seeking Truth motivates a person to find truth. Most of us exist within a psychological illusion of the truth. This illusion of truth exists in a holographic sense. We literally exist within our thoughts. While covered within an analogous shell one filters any new ideas and thoughts through preconceived parameters. In this sense you could hear, see or experience bonafide truth but be unable to accept it as the truth for this reason the scientific method for establishing truth necessitates that an experiment must be performed time and time again with the same results. In common law the truth shall be established by two or more witnesses. May your shell illusion, vaporize. May you see, hear, understand and intuit truth.
