Truth is always plain and simple and unadorned.
Therefore every human being over the age of three knows the Truth when they see or hear it – and that is the way it has always meant to be.
Gandhi always said that Truth and Love are one and the same.
In this respect Truth is God
The great problem with Truth today is that those who express it are seen to be either simple-minded or naively self-deluded.
Those who worship the Truth and make that fact plainly known are laughed at, and if they persist in their stance, invariably end up crucified in one way or another
Truth has never always been under attack.
Distain for the Truth crept in towards the end of the Iron Age, when power corrupted the Church and catholic ministers began selling passports to heaven.
That corruption initiated an Age of protestant scientific determinism.
Science systematically dismantled Creationism.
With God gone, only ever-changing artificial truths remained.
This left men without an Infinite Source of Goodness to anchor their lives on.
This bred pseudo-intellectualism.
Pseudo-intellectuals who challenge the Truth are seen as daring and charismatic rebels and they have attracted a great host of lackeys.
It is they who dominate the Earth today and who laugh and scoff cynically at simple Belief in God.
for some reason I find your point both rudely out of context and disturbingly accurate. Kind of weird. oddly the context of truth being plain as daybreak in a feild, is true but not always, if we are searching for a complicated answer then we wont even see the simple one wether it is true or not, simply said we block it out. Also if we beleive we allready know the truth we wont be looking so again we wont see it.
I dont think truth was first butchered by the Iron age though, if you look back further through our history each instance where power was the issue truth went unseen, think Roman Empire, or Egyptian empire, so on and so forth.
nowndays it just seems to be force of habit. Odd.
but then perhaps I myself am diluded, since I am, only human after all.
Deception is an integral part of Nature Herself. Apeman, Stoneman, Bronzeman have always played in that game and God has laughed at our infantile and childish antics. It is when we took solemn religious initiation and then turned prodigal in our rebellious teens that the real problem began.
It is hopeful that when we turn 21 in the coming century and we put away the dice and stop gambling with global commodities, as well as end our teenage dare at Russian roulette with nuclear guns, simple Truths will once again govern our minds and hearts. This will allow us to return to our Father’s House and turn this gorgeous Mother planet into a cultivated Garden of Plenty.
Each generation beleives itself to be the pinnicle while it beleives the following generation to be its downfall, a number of people have said “the children are wild and will bring ruin upon us” they have said that as far back as 4000 bc. that will not change.
And nature is simply nature, we add connotations to it but it is by nature unbias, look at as you will but humanity has not changed since its creation, new toys and more complex terms but humans are still human, “if you prick us do we not bleed?”
I would like to know the stem of your bias against teenagers, if simply for the sake of curriosity though, it is very strong.
I was one myself a long time ago and remember it well.
Self-determinism is a necessary stage of both individual and collective development. It is also the most reckless. Some of our most daring die before reaching their majority. Collectively we are in the reckless phase right now. We could well self-destruct and never complete our pre-ordained evolutionary cycle or grow up to become Cosmic Sages. It takes the next stage of maturation to realize that there is no such thing is independence in an inter-dependent universe. That is when a capitalist becomes a custodian.
No society on the planet has yet reached an adult stage. Internationalized colonial republics are the closest. The Soviet Union was on the right track but missed the boat - A) by investing ownership in the State instead of ridding itself of that idea entirely, and - B) By dismissing God asnd leaving its citizens without an absolute stanbdard of goodness to measure themselves or their collective effort by.
I believe the most advanced individuals among us are on the cusp of a major shift in their consciousness. When enough make the change it will in turn initiate a collective change. Then after a Nuclear Age of responsible global stewardship, (if we survive the present global tensions) I believe the sixth Age will all be a graduation into plantery mastership and divine parenting. That is when young gods will be born to us.
In the final stage, as sages, no more children will be born and our cycle will be complete. I believe that we will then trancend physical limitations and realize the full metaphysical potential of atomic atributes.
In brief explanation of the above:
Seven distinct stages of conscious development of both the individual and the collective psyche’s, as well as their direct correlation, can be analyzed by measuring increasing artificialized perceptions of space and time, which take place as the psyche matures from infancy through to sagehood.
Through the Ages there have been and still are magical sages among us who, via special techniques, have already achieved their metaphsyical potentials. I suspect that they fully comprehend the relative nature of the space/time consortium and exist spontaneously in the infinite moment, enjoying the full cosmic spectrum of Divine Consciousness.
A more complete explanation can be found in my book on Psyche-Genetics -
as a teenager I was the god of death now I am only human for me this was a personal change, I have seen nothing to tell me that socioty changes collectivly. To attain ones potential one must do so themselves, wether on not socioty chooses to follow is another matter entirely.
I am afraid that my pride is getting the better of me however since for some reason I am concerned of the outcome of this topic. I will die or I will live, what socioty does is not my concern, be in peace magnet man, and live as you will.
In normal circmstances, individuals experience seven distinct changes of consciousness between birth and death. Each change is related to increasingly sophisticated perceptions of space and time. For instance: Time and space is relative for infants. They have no perception of past or future - only the moment. At seven years of age you begin your first artificial measurement (when is my birthday mommy).
Mass shifts of societal consciousness make the exact same changes in their perceptions of time and space - but over vastly longer periods of time.
For instance:
Kalahari Bushmen, who continue to live a Stone Age existence as hunter/gatherers, have relative perceptions of time and space. If one is old and tired all distances are far, and conversely if one is young and fresh. Since there is no need to measure time and distance artificially, they live in the moment.
Bronze Age agricultural societies were forced to experience space and time in seasonal terms.
Iron Age industrial craftsmen had to measure time and space more precisely.
Steel Age scientists go from macrocosmic to microcosmic measurement.
Each of these changes initiated an entirely new paradigm. A mass shift of consciousness was required at the beginning of each New Age in order to deal with the re-organization and government of increasingly complex occupational cooperatives.
Population pressures impacting on regional enviroments have always been at the base of mass changes of consciousness. We are now experiencing those same pressures on a global basis. You have said you cannot see mass change - but it happens.
Imagine for yourself the quantum mental leap required from a Stone Age consciousness, entirely dependant on the bounty of nature for the day to day fortunes of the hunt, to that of a farmer, prepared to plant, tend and pray for a harvest many months ahead. A huge re-organization of social cooperatives was required to make that change. An entirely new spiritual perspective had to come into being. Animal gods were replaced by ancestral spirits.
Each Age change from - Hunter to Farmer to Crafstman to Scientist has been correspondingly more complex, both socially and spiritually .
We are in the cusp of a new age change right now. Atomic physicists have come to realize that time and space are indeed relative. I believe that nationalism, capitalism, relgious cultism, and private ownership will have to go - to be replaced by an egalitarian global socoeity, stewarding the home planet as a single family estate. We will be schooled from childhood in the ethic of custodianship and practice a universal form of spirituality based on atomic consciousness. Imagine that mass shift!!!
I suspect that as the Nuclear Age progresses we will all gradually begin to realize that past/present/future are all compressed into the moment.
