I am a lover of real TRUTH. Not the generic, ever changing brand of information labeled truth, that has nothing to do with what actually happened, but the kind of truth that accurately describes the essence of the event. This my friends is the social media that is on the endangered species list today.
Men and women of ill will have been poaching this disappearing animal in record nimbers for the last 80 years. Since the issuing of the Humanist Manifesto in 1933, the academic professionals of America's institutions of higher learning were told that that it was okay to lie and not feel guilty about violating one of nature's laws that keeps society civil.
If our constitutional rights are deemed to be inalienable, that is God given, then no one should be able to take them away from us if the God of nature issued them to us. Then along comes a word poacher who reminds us of the serpant in the Garden of Eden, that shouts to us, Hath God really said that you have a right to expect men and women to speak the truth?" For some strange reason I do expect everyone to tell the truth. But serving as a cop the past 25 years I know that a truthful person is a rare bird indeed.
Our Fonnders loved truth because they knew what it was like to live under the kind of tyranny that defined truth for everyone and forced them to accept the ever changing defination.
The Humanist Manifesto of 1933 basically said the the God of nature the Constiutional Framers invoked was not needed any longer because He was out of step with post modern man. So now the Humanists (atheistic socialists) free from the laws of Nature's God slaughtered the truth with a weapon they borrowed from the serpant in the Garden of Eden. It was called a Lie.
Since truth is what makes us act like respectable and civil human beings, we embrace it and live by its principles. We do so to make our free society a place where it's free citizens can practice life, liberty , and the pursuit of happiness, all made possible because of the abundance of truth in our midst. But something has changed. No longer can the average person be trusted to tell the truth, because they were taught that Nature's God is dead and they don't have to live by those restrictive, out dated rules.
Embracing the truth and always telling the truth is a sign of a good heart. Truth makes us trustable while everyone else is lying. But truth is not user friendly until you align yourself with it. This is what the word poachers of our day do not want to do. It makes them accountable to tell what actually happened, so they slaughter the truth with another bullet from the gun of lies. :-(
I am a lover of real TRUTH. Not the generic, ever ... (
show quote)
Truth speaks most clearly in the silence of self, and anything else is the gibberish of vanity.
The only acid test for Truth is love in action, the rest is vanity.
It is popular and hailed as enlightened to say, "Create your own reality, meaning, and purpose: be whatever you want to be." This may be true but I see it differently. Who we are, as we are in essence, is far, far greater thatn anything we could ever make of ourselves of even dream to be. Why? Imago dei.
For me, there is far more truth in one loving touch than in all the holy books ever written.
Reality is purely of the moment, making truth too swift to be caught and yet ever still. We do not hold and express truth; we are expressions of truth, the relational wave breaking this instant; it has a total ambiance that is just beyond words, just beyond reason, and just beyond belief.
Truth is always brand spanking new, if it were not, we could not change and improve, there would be no maturing. So it is that each fresh nuance of truth bears a different species of understanding.
Change and improvement are always a mystery.
Truth cannot be Dorothy''s ruby slippers or the Holy Grail or the Golden Fleece without the adventure.
Certainty is the weakest defense of truth, for it make it an object and not a living process. Wonder and curiosity make a far better defense, for they are welcoming to truth in all its many disguises and allow it to explain itself.
Error always holds a precious secret of truth, so religion needs to be envious of our imperfection, for only there will the whole nature of Truth become clear. We do not plan for humiliations, failures, and losses, yet these can be the awful mercies of truth, revealing far more about what is for our ultimate well-being than living a perfect and just life. Truth is alchemy, perpetually turning lead into gold and the reverse.
Truth is what expresses the exact nature of our existence. As God is love and we are made in his image, love is the essence of who we are. Ergo, Love is the language of Truth. As such, every era, place, and heart has the same interpretation of Truth, if it remains true to character. If you do not Love, you can not help but misinterpret the nature of your existence. Besides that, if you do not love..."you have nothing,,,you are nothing".
