Anyone who dares deal
with this subject openly, having or not some knowledge about it will
immediately be discredited before even starting, before even having
his ideas analyzed and evaluated impartially. Prior to all else the
person would be preventively labeled, as unmerciful, deceiver,
usurper, one who mystifies, and also sectarian, fraud, and
scoundrel. Adjectives that don't rhyme with lie, but which are all
by-products of it.
Let’s say quite a natural and predictable reaction, considering that
the lie has already been enthroned for quiet some time now as the
planetary tyrant of all nations, it is the beam that highlights the
conduct of people and individuals – and consequently also determines
their destinies, the world’s most powerful witch doctor, that has
nearly made humanity one big global zombies tribe with neither
discernment nor individual will.
Everything, but absolutely everything in human life today is
impregnated with lies. Political regimes, professions, religions,
sciences, the arts, literature, esoteric beliefs and multi-faceted
philosophies, nothing has been able to keep it out. And funnily
enough many things prefer to embrace it. We live under the empire of
the lie. It’s as if the whole world has floundered in a dense
repugnant mire that has submerged the entire human race in it,
without resistance; together with its accomplishments that it is so
proud of, impeding anyone to escape by chance, no matter how much
one tries. And it also prevents people from seeing clearly or
breathing pure air again.
Parents and children, teachers and students, bosses and employees,
plus rulers and subjects have been entrenched in an eternal battle
of lies between themselves. The lie has become the mainstay of
modern life, the basis of family, professional and public
relationships. The first lesson that a child learns whilst still in
the cradle is how to lie and deceive, following the examples given
by the parents and relatives. According to a recent survey in the
United States, nothing less than 90% of the executives routinely lie
in their daily work relations; the other 10% probably lied when they
answered the survey... The so called diplomatic language, this
hypocritical language that the heads of State use when they speak
trying to say one thing when wanting to say another, is the
embodiment of the institutional lie.
Then, what can be expected as an answer, when speaking about the
truth to someone who uses the lie as a prop and counselor? Or could
be expected of when trying to reason about the properties of pure
crystalline water in the middle of a mire? Or would it be like
wanting to praise the perennial values of honesty and sincerity to
the pupils of Pinocchio? We have erected an altar to the lie inside
ourselves, and that’s why we always deviate with blind mistrust at
any glimmer of the truth.
However, we now live at a time where this extremely sad state of
affairs is about to change. It is neither because of man’s effort
nor his goodwill that have already given more than enough proof of
being absolutely unable to administer his own house, and who has
only used the gift of his freewill to transform this once
paradisiacal planet into a ruined pigsty. The intervention that is
now about to take place comes through a Superior Will, against which
the human creature is completely impotent. A Will that doesn't beg a
conversion to good, but imposes it.
So from now on, for the human beings that always insisted on acting
like sand into the mechanism of the universal cogwheel, there are
only two alternatives, in the last bifurcation of their existence:
integrate once and for all – and fast – to the universal laws that
govern Creation, basically the same as voluntarily obeying this
Superior Will, or… perish.
Don’t we also sweep our houses to throw away the accumulated dirt?
Don't we insist on keeping it clean? Don’t we forcefully remove the
hard-stuck and hidden grime? So in our time now, the great house
Earth is also being cleaned, even in its darkest corners. And that
is the reason why now so much dirt appears to be coming out from the
most unsuspected places. The air will still remain dirty and dusty
for some time, with the cleaning that is now vigorously in process,
before eventually clearing up little by little. Once the cleaning is
over, the mire of the lie will also have been completely removed,
and truth will once more occupy the place that befits it, reigning
once again as the one and only legitimate world sovereign.
For who were capable of holding back the adjectives mentioned at the
beginning of this essay until reading to the end from here on I
would like to deal with the theme of the truth, without the
slightest pretense or intention of covering it fully nor draining it
partially. The purpose is only to give a direction to those who
bring inside them, like a compass, the sincere longing of finding
out, on their own, answers without gaps to primordial questions
related to human life.
Therefore, what is the truth? Does one intangible and absolute truth
exist? Could one of the thousands of religions and sects existing in
the world today hold the knowledge of the absolute truth, knowledge
without holes about the entire existence and universal action?
Generations of scholars and philosophers, mystics and religious
people have bent over the question about the truth throughout the
millennia. The result of this effort (more antagonistic than
harmonious) has been a myriad of thinking spread out in all
directions. From this neither a clear vision, nor a glimmer of what
indeed exists has appeared, there is only uncertainty. Let us take a
look at the main ones:
There is one well-known school of thought that nurtures a
considerable number of followers that maintain, that there is no
truth other than the one that one can perceive with one’s own
sensorial bodily organs and technical instruments, making it is a
complete waste of time to make any effort to look for it. Another
conception admits that there is a truth that embraces everything
that exists, but considers the human being as incapacitated to
discover and assimilate it. A third school pleads that each one of
us has his own truth, making it multiple therefore there wouldn’t be
any single truth. The fourth supposition believes in the truth
revealed by some religion, considering it as the only legitimate
one, so that the truths sustained by other beliefs are seen as false
or distorted. A fifth supposition is defended by the majority of
esoteric movements, that affirm that a person can reach much higher
levels of conscience (or something similar) and thus get closer and
closer to the truth, as long as the person has initiated in the
secret practices of the respective association. Here also, each of
these entities possesses their own truth.
There is still another school, neither well-known nor esteemed that
affirms there is indeed one absolute truth, and that the human being
can obtain a certain degree of it once a certain number of his or
her own requirements have been fulfilled, requirements that have
nothing to do with external looks, cultural level or social
condition, but deal directly and exclusively with his or her inner
essence, that is, the human spirit. As the web of the lie has
obscured everything in today’s world, logically it is expected that
the one, which is the least considered be the purest conception. And
thus it is so. The truest of the conceptions about the truth is
precisely this last one, and we will see in the second part of this
essay why.
Many researchers believe that to find the truth it is necessary to
renounce the world and live in asceticism, while many others are
convinced that it is absolutely important to study a lot, perhaps
even obtain a Ph.D. in Theology. The truth however is simplicity
itself, both natural and logical. All else is an exclusive product
of the human brain that we see today impelled, nurtured and driven
by the lie.
Thus, in an absolutely logical and natural way, whatever is
exclusively generated by the human intellect has to by fact be
extremely far from the truth, when dealing with subjects that are
beyond earthly concepts of time and space. In these circumstances,
nothing can be further away from the truth than conceptions
originating from intellective wondering that can never rise above
the limited ambit of matter, even when adorned with the most
fantastic – and infantile – thoughts of fantasy. This fact once
understood constitutes the researcher's first step on one’s path in
search of the truth. |
