Little essay about truth
Many teachings have truth in them, but none pose the truth in itself. Learning is like mining for precious stones - digging through the rocks of commodity to hit on something harder, something with a core, something inherent in itself.
Absolute truths do exist, they can be discovered as raw perception of ‘something special’ but it must be polished by interpretating exertion, sculpting. Sculpting a stone is only possible when one knows the structure of the stone. Inherent structure can be called the law of a thing in itself. Whether or not things really exist in themselves objectively is a senseless question for a perspectivist like Nietzsche, yet even he could not leave it be.
I could even take it a step further into senselessness and ask wether there is a ,truth-in-itself. I know of only one person who could possibly have an opinion about this worth noting, the Beast himself, commenting on the Christ.
""Truth is our Path, and Truth is our Goal; ay! there shall came to all a moment of great Light when the Path is seen to be itself the Goal; and in that hour every one of us shall exclaim:
“I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life!”"
-Aleister Crowley
In other words, truth occurs when from all subjective perspectives, the same conclusion is made at the same time; when the subjective ceases to exist. Crowley assumes this is possible. I have my doubts.
On my own search for truth I have found many things to resonate with what I experience as my vital force, the will of my mind and the vitality of my body. Some of these subjective ‘truths’ leave an impresion and leave, others disappear alltogther, a few stick with me for a prolonged period of time, ut only one or two really stay with me as ‘mine’. And these are truths I have created, not learned, my the truth most inherent it me is a completely subjective twist of fate put into words.

As obvious as this may seem, even the most Neptunean imagination fails to capture the magnificence of this Truth Most High. It is the sublimation of magnificence even - it is far from THE truth, THE way and THE light - it is rather a truth a way and a light far from all others, keeping it pure and simple, with as little context as possibly possible.
This truth is certainly inherent in itself, as only by virtue of elevating it to a truth does it have any meaning at all. Add to this the absence of any standard by which it could be confirmed or denied or even understood, the only test as to it’s inherentness is to question it’s validity. If indeed it does contain effective agent to actuality, which is the end of all truth (by the way) it is verified as being absolutely, ultimatel, not to mention profoundly true.
That it is a dangerus truth speaks for itself. Only when operated to the backdrop of Nietzsche’s contention that ‘spirit is life that cuts into life itself’ does it, if you’ll excuse my French, cut the crude stone of being towards the shape of actuality.
