truth is an entity. [and has a universal language]
i have come to think there is a universal language innate in all things, yet it is impossible to say what it is, it has no direct linguistic features, pattern nor alphabet.
to get some idea of what i mean, imagine the ‘picture language’ that autistic geniuses use to solve incredible complex mathematical equations. there is an inner genius in all things in some manner, and we can link with that. take for instance an experiment on tv the other day; there is this chap called derren brown who does experiment on tv to show our hidden assets. in one such experiment he got an ordinary man to look through an entire library of books ~ literally just look at them page by page without reading them. the chap was then asked to take part in a professional quiz after being taught techniques for retrieving knowledge that he hadent actually learned in the normal way, even though he didn’t ‘know’ most of the answers he was able to visualise the meanings of all those books and he came joint first in the test. he done this simply by allowing images to arise in his mind and they in turn were interpreted as the desired answer.
so the inner genius reads by a language that is quicker than ordinary linguistic thought! one reads the bible as words of truth yet if god was to speak don’t you think god would do the same? a skeptic may say that a calculator is quicker than any genius at performing mathematical calculations, yet it is only working with a very limited base, we work with reality in all its vastness. the universal language then is simply the fastest way of knowing and expressing that knowledge in context to the whole of reality. to me it is kinda logical that the hub of the ‘universe’ would be built on a universal language of some kind, however by its very nature this language cannot be specific to any given thing as it must be relative to both individual aspects and the whole.
i have found that you can have completely contrasting views that are a contradiction in every way, yet both are equally true and false. this is because ‘the truth’ is both in them and beyond them in all cases.
i don’t think ‘nothing’ and ‘things’ and ‘everything’ are entirely valid concepts, none of them can be defined can they. if we define nothing, then it is a thing, if we don’t then it doesn’t exist. equally so we cannot state what any absolute ‘thing’ is, nothing has edges not in meaning nor in form.
therefore the truth is an entity, it can have no specific form or nature yet it is always truth. when we look at the universe we see that it is entirely built upon this basis; everything belongs to something else and nothing is absolute. that though does not make the whole thing moot in my mind, as an anarchist it just makes the truth into something far more wonderful and free than i could possibly hope for.
it is hard to describe yet probably the most simple nature of all things. imagine that existence began as a blob, upon seeing this we try to say what it is; scientists say it is of x,y,z, dimensions, christians say it is god, poets write about is flow, spiritualist about its luminosity.
that is it yes. in fact i would go so far as to say that the world around us is composed of interpolative forms. so it is true in meaning and nature.
when we perceive something we take the truth and form a focal point in our minds eye, then make an observation upon that tangental idea, so the very act of perception the very integer of the intellect is an assumption of the primal truth.
Truth? Is it relative or universal? Perhaps as you say in your OP these considerations could be complementary. In any event, either/ors do not exist. “This is that” in another form just might.
Darren Brown couldn’t make the guy best an essay on medical science by giving him a library or forcing him through a library of medical texts, nor could the person ever perform a successful complicated surgery or pass a hard medical exam. People can become ace-memory users, to the point of being an idiotic truck driver transformed to some kind of social freak because the memory is so good (people have done this through using associative memory. Specifically attaching an association with a memory, helps people remember better.)
but yeah, we’re not all universal geniuses just waiting to flower, even an idiot truck driver could have genetic potential that almost none of us does (no matter how rare) a lot of us, most of us, have ‘average’ iqs, meaning we are capable of average feats, even if average people had this insane potential, above average people would have a much bigger potential.
Theres ‘degrees’ of intelligence, theres not a genius behind most of our minds waiting to be unlocked by X technique or realization, genius requires for most people, an insane amount of hardwork, its not the flipping of a switch, but the cumulative effect of genetic potential, hard work, ambition, and years of education.
i agree that such memory trick wouldn’t do you well in a surgery etc, i wonder if one brain is superior to another though? surely one brain is trained better than others, ‘dumb’ people just choose not to learn to the same degree as others, moreover i think anyone can connect to their inner genius as it is part of everything ~ a universal resource.
i agree, but i believe in an engineered universe and that must have a universal mechanism for it. if so then this can be accessed! i think what you are talking about is the utility of it, which indeed can take a lifetime to perfect.
realunoriginal, hi
hmm i can see a connection to mysiddhi’s idea linking causality and consciousness, so the logical next step may be that the forces are part of the universal language too. interesting idea to think on there.
I think the problem is that describing “force” as “casual” or “conscious” is a category mistake. “Force” should be considered metaphysical and untraceable, otherwise it can be made practical and “scientific”. This is a problem, because science expands into realms of philosophy and spirituality and not the other way around. This particular metaphor heads in one direction as opposed to many.
I imagine that “force” is going to remain an absolute phenomena for at least another century… Eventually it will be destroyed in a paradigm shift though.
Truth is an entity much like god in that both are figments of the imagination or the perspective of the one willing them.
They are merely constructs and there is a great deal of irony in that if we look at the indifference of existence beyond man it cares nothing of our festering ramblings about truth.
indeed. forces can be seen as movements of or within the entity which we could redefine in other ways. we could see them as a function of the universal language kinda like one aspect talking to another, the physical interpretation of which is what we see from our perspectice as a force. if it were ideas in your mind you would not see them as forces but of flows of thought, so perhaps it is something of a perspective thing. causality may also be considered as a function of thought in our minds and so can be projected onto the greater aspect of reality in a similar fashion. it seams to come down to how we interpret and perceive it all to me.
…still thinking on the notion.

its all very well to go around making vague statements like that, but it is just an opinion unless you can show that a, you have understood the concepts involved. and b, can show them to be incorrect.
why is existence a, separate to us. and b, indifferent? i see only a highly complex engineered reality connected throughout on the most universal level. what you describe assumes indifference yet our very existence is due to environmental paternity/maternity - if you will. the earth is ideal for us the universe ideal for the earth, everything is built for each other to coexist and to nurture one another. obviously the sun will go supanova one day but even that is part of the greater circle of re-creation.
indeed it is yes. but it is more than that, not only can’t truth be described but that which we are attempting to describe itself is unobservable in essence, ergo truth ~ the inner reality, is an entity!
