In order to understand truth we need a perspective that relates to more than just
the physical world. Truth is a reality in the universe. Reality is a state of
balance among many opposing forces. If it was unbalanced then the reality would be
something else. So, the universe is an equation...containing many diverse
components which balance each other to form the result. Our planet is a part of
this balanced equation.
From a universal perspective, truth is a constant reality that balances the
equation. It is simple and cannot be adjusted to taste. From the human perspective,
truth varies from person to person. It is virtually impossible for a group of
people to agree on much. In being human, we bring subjectivity into the equation.
So it may be possible that truth is a rare commodity in human society.
So, to find truth we need to have a spiritual power. In the physical world, which
offers us distractions and illusions, truth is fleeting. In addition, we may not be
inclined to seek truth. Without some physical proof that we have spiritual needs
that take priority, then we may choose to live only in the physical world. With
faith we can be more spiritual, but it may well be misdirected. We either need more
than faith or we all need to be born with a similar type of faith.
Had we a weapon which could force people to only see truth...just by touching that
weapon, we would control the world. Truth destroys illusions...if we have no choice
but to witness truth. When we are forced to see who we really are, then we would
likely be faced with internal suffering. Some ancient religions recognize that life
without suffering has little meaning.
If we knew for a fact that our souls are reincarnated, then maybe we can find a way
to all be a spiritual match. I think it is more likely that what mankind needs in
order to succeed is a tool. Probably a tool we already have available to us. If
truth was available to us, then with the answers provided, mankind could solve
problems and make progress. The tool we need is to be able to communicate with the
spiritual realm...with God.
I think that life does have meaning, although we may be disappointed in how
insignificant it could turn out to be. In the long run, truth is the most important
thing. It is what we leave behind after we have completed a life. Upon death, it
certainly appears that things will change for each of us. Our lives will be
something we can look back on from a new perspective. It appears that no matter
what happens after death, it will be more spiritual and less physical...don't you
think?
As I delve into philosophy and idealism, I will try to balance it with some
reality. Consider this my book report on my life and what I have learned. It may
not be much, but this is the culmination of my search for truth. I think that as we
live each day in the physical world, we have an opportunity to embrace the
spiritual world. In fact, I think we have the ability to connect to the spiritual
world. I will try to illustrate my concept on why we are here and why we are all
much more than we seem to be.
For obvious reasons man has always been fascinated by the mysteries of the
universe. Throughout history philosophers have been inspired by the stars to search
for truth. Looking to the heavens gives us a sense of being more than who we are.
We can almost feel the immense energy of all the forces that combine to keep the
stars on course.
My theory on the universe is based on some facts combined with a stretch of faith.
I like to call it common sense...the most important human trait. If we pay
