The truth behind the truth!

What is truth? Maybe the truth about truth is there is no Truth, just perception or consciousness. Just as we can't taste sound or hear yellow or smell hard, truth is just perceptual and subjective to the mode of perception. Yellow is true to the eyes because they can see it, yet not true for the ears because they can't hear it. And yet both are valid perceptual avenues.

 Reality is the illusion Thought/Perception/Consciousness is what's real. In this world there are two kinds of truths: real truth and notions that you have convinced yourself are truth. However as I have always observed, truth is a very subjective phenomenon. Subject to your personal viewpoint or point of reference, which is determined by your perception or paradigm  So debating about what is true and what is not, is like trying to discredit knowledge with knowledge (e.g. science and religion). The truth is that there is no absolute truth (well not in human perspective) because our perceptions are always evolving from one idea to the next with no consideration of whether or not the idea is “false” or “true”. In order to understand this intangible truth of the non absolution of truth in our environment, we must learn to question our limiting assumptions about things, and evolve them with the new found understanding.

As Barry Siskind mentioned in his book Bumblebees Cant Fly, "If we do not challenge the myths that we encounter, we will reinforce them. That’s how myths get incorporated into the fabric of your daily life." The mind does n’t distinguish between a lie and truth... They are all the same stuff - ideas. “Tell a lie often enough and it becomes the truth.” another example of truth not being absolute but dependent upon the perception of the observer is in the justice system. In court, evidence is produced in order to justify or defend the accused. Both lawyers observe the same evidence yet due to their own intentions, they see it differently from each other. Thus believing something just because someone or many are convinced it is "true" is never a good reason to believe it. for truth is not absolute (its really important to really get this idea in our heads.)

Abraham (from Abraham-Hicks) have said “A belief is only a thought you keep thinking”... And once you begin to understand that and start to see the real truth behind this statement, then you can begin to understand why some things appear true for you and seems to be only fantasy for others. And also as to why it is that, people find it easy to go along with what most believe. It is not because it’s true that they believe it, it is because they believe it (keep thinking it) that it is true. 

Therefore as one goes through their day to day experience, pay attention to how you label things as true and allow yourself to really ask whether is it true or just your own made up thought about it. Truth is a subjective reality. Objective (ultimate) reality takes into account that all that is perceived and given attention to are true. That is the absolute truth..

FAITH

Is there ever a time where its reasonable to have faith? Like really. When is it reasonable to have faith? Because if you think about it, whenever its reasonable to have faith it is no longer faith but just rationalisation.. When you have reasons to have faith its just that, reasons. Faith has no reason either than you really wanting something. Faith is not based on any concrete evidence, ever. Faith is the decision of a mind to maintain a disciplined positive expectation of a desired outcome.. And most of us fail in this because our faith fluctuates.. Usually we want reasons to have faith.. The most interesting part in life is that most of who we desire to be is dependant on faith. Just choosing to expect the best and that is independent of any religious beliefs or philosophy. Its a consistent act of a person to choose faith over fear, fear over not having concrete evidence to back it up. Faith is the complete surrender of the need to control things and to have it all f...

A MAN CAN CHOOSE TO BE ANYTHING

"A man can choose to be anything. He can partake in, be a part of anything that he wants to. He can become a beast, he can become a god. He can do anything." This thought keeps reappearing in all the writings of man. It states that we become what we choose to become whether we realise it or not. This is so true because as I grow older, I notice just how broad my being is. BEING : the continuous movement of becoming!! As a high school pupil I only saw myself as a math and science student whose aim was to be a master of science and nothing more. And then in  first year varsity I noticed my perception   grew   from a science student to one whose aim was to be a respectable chemical engineering professional, then suddenly I noticed that not only do I love science, but I have a proclivity for some business,  philosophy and even writing who knew!! And then that grew to psychology, which grew to  philosophy and spirituality and all of this my high-school-year old...

SIGNIFICANT FIGURES

On the bus to work I was busy go through my budget this month in my head. And as I was doing that, I was thinking of how we always have to make arrangements for unforeseen expenses, so I was thinking along the line of "roughly it will cost me this much." However as I had that thought another then just came up, and that was there are no insignificant numbers. Numbers that have no bearing to the total sum whatsoever. As an engineering student in my first year I got introduced to an unfamiliar term, "significant figures", quite frankly I am surprised I still remember this.In engineering and science we have to account for the significant decimals places that are there in a number. (Google this). For example if a number has the highest numbers of significant figures meaning more numbers after the decimal we take that as the numbers of significant figures we must round of to. So if you have a number that is 2.0003, those zeroes are significant because they can/will...
