Truth Schmooth

What do you believe in?

There is only one truth that I agree with and that is this: The only absolute truth is that there are no absolute truths.

Notice I said “agree with” and not “believe in.” Agreeing with something is one thing but believing in something is different. When one believes in something, that something is taken as absolute and never questioned. I think it is a horrible mistake to stop questioning anything. When we stop questioning we stop exploring and when we stop exploring we stop expanding our awareness. As our awareness expands our perceptions expand and we start seeing these so-called truths in new light and we realize that they are not absolute, that there are other dimensions to them. Reality changes as our perceptions change. That is why religions insist that their devotees never question their “absolute truths” because if they did they might expand their awareness to take in new perceptions that would show those absolute truths to be not so absolute. When you can get people to stop questioning and stop exploring and to simply believe then you can use those beliefs to control them. Religion is one of the biggest obstacles to expansion of human awareness.

Personally, I do not care for either religion or science. Both are in the business of establishing absolute truths. One hundred years ago science had established many “truths”…
