What is the Truth?

The truth needs no defense. If anyone remembers that there is Eternal Truth or not is irrelevant; fortunately, truth is not democratic.
Once, everyone was convinced that the earth was flat and the sun rotated around it, but no change in the orbit of our daystar ever occurred because of mankind's beliefs. Nor did our spherical globe contract to a plane to align with ignorant humans.
Truth is everywhere, always.

You have told us several things (all of which I agree with) about some of the qualities of the Truth, but you have not stated what the Truth is! You also point out that Human beliefs can be woefully wrong! That is why finding the Truth is so difficult. Many think they have it, completely unaware of their false assumptions.

I should also say that I am not particularly worried by not knowing when I have the Truth.
I am quite happy with my current 'beliefs', whether they are Truthful and wholesome or not. They are the best I can achieve so far. I do continue to refine or consolidate them in light of my new experiences - this is all any of us can hope to achieve, though some may strive to rise above them (achieve Godness).

Traveling to the other dimensions builds confidence and reduces chaos while improving the ability to structure or DECREE the chaos that can be creatively utilized as Bucky noted when he spoke about manifesting reality as 'creative realization'.

"everything shares the same consciousness".

I need some help here folks !!!

To me, conciousness is awareness.
I am currently aware of something. applejack
Will anyone please tell me what it is I am aware of, so that I can see that others are aware of it at the same time?

Consciousness is not necessarily awareness although there are similarities in the concepts. It is possible and indeed probable that consciousness has a wide range of variation including rocks and muons and sentient beings that have constituent conscious parts like the soul that few are aware of.

Namaste

I believe that we are all born with an inner desire to return to that complete "wholeness" state from we which originated from. I am 29 years old and I have only been experiencing my spiritual awakening over the past couple of years. I have searched to fill the hole in my soul my entire life. I tried filling it with drugs, other people, psychiatry, religion etc...
none of these proved to work. Some of them made the whole bigger and got me way off track. Today I have a personal relationship with my God, not the God of a particular religion that I feared as a child but, the God that I see and feel in myself , other people and all that is good in this world. I have a guide in my journey of life now. I have ceased fighting. I am on a journey of spiritual progress not spiritual perfection. I am a spiritual being living in an unspiritual world. I believe that enlightenment is the ability to live as a spiritual being harmoniously in an unspiritual world. This life of ours is only a dot on the page of our existence. It is a "practice test" to prepare our souls for the eternity. It is good.

Sounds healthy!

Thanks! I'm working on it.

We should go out, have a dink, anf talkf aboutf it.

Did I suggest clandestine? I don't think so. The Manifest Destiny policy and the open warfare on truth or what Professor Graham Good calls Literary Theory and the management of society (McLuhan too) is openly available for any who really study. I also talked to various government departments and one lower level personsaid 'it is too political'. He was referring to the smallest part of the cover up - at Peterborough where the government allowed the Norse Ships to be ground off the rocks.

Please do not attribute more to me than you are able to demonstrate. In time you will learn and what you learn will be you or yours. I do not mind being a guide but I am not interested in being a guru or in having things I do not believe or do not do attributed to me. There is more than enough mystery in my life already - thanks.

"10/4, rubber ducky." Quack! Quack!

If enlightenment is some end state then I don't want it. If I ever get to the state where there can be no improvement then I will be ready to die.

Enlightenment leads to expanded consciousness, and is complelty relative.

Enlightenment is a process. It is my belief that we will never arrive, not in this physical lifetime. That is not to say that we will not progress towards a more enlightened state in this, our physical, existence. It has been my experience, that it is definitely a process that involes a daily sometimes hourly effort. I have also found it to be somewhat like a revolving door; you may choose to do "the work" and proceed forward or you can rest on your gifts of knowledge and fall back through the door as if you never knew the better way. It can be very simple, but usually not very easy to move forward, to grow, to have more revealed to you...I am stuck in the doorway at this very moment. I haven't forgotten the better way. I can't seem to let go of yesterday and tomorrow in order to enjoy today...I'll get there, this has happened before. I need to let go. Simple; not easy.
Peace be with you,

And my friend knows that the proccess is not just (!) intellectual.

I am gratified by your urbane and helpful responses.

MOI????!!!

lol

No human has yet achieved FULL enlightenment and any human perspective on it will only achieve a RELATIVE understanding that proceeds along UNIversal lines or LAWS.

Here are the three ancient LAWS.

1. As Above, SO Below
2. RIGHT THOUGHT = RIGHT ACTION
3. Scrire, Potere, Audere, Tacere (Know, Will, Dare, Keep Silent)

I replace the last one due to the abrogation of the Tacere portion in the Atomistical period of the late 20s. I use instead a saying attributed to Jesus, though far older.

He who is least selfish is most selfish.

Nils Bohr - 'A Great truth has an opposite which is also true, a trivial truth has an opposite which is merely false.'

Mayan saying - 'Do not put yourself in front of your Self.'

Arians go back to Gaedhilic schools which go back to Abaris the Druid who taught Pythagoras which is the last record of the Bairdic University System having a Dean.

Arians and Eire-yanns (Yann = the people of) became screwed over to Aryans by those who got a little glimpse of this system in the late 19th Century. - The Nazis.

Infering multi-dimensional perspectives of life, from a man's point of view vs. a woman's point of view.

Was a rhetorical question, un-elightened one. Crawl out from the turbid depths of your ignorance.

That whole "Am I a woman trapped in a man's body and vice-versa," debate is a whole 60's issue dealt with and perpetrated by those of that era.

No I did not mean that and no person who is seeking enlightenment would be so materialistic or aggressively selfish. It mwans just what it says and there is really nothing paradozical about it - 'He who gives receives is another away of putting it.'

Nichomachean Ethics by Aristotle is a good explanation of how to approach giving from a more controlling viewpoint of ego - and in that regard which I call Contribution Dynamics and a good way of ensuring that one has a real relationship with life rather than the illusion of ego driven gifts.

For example I saw The Door Beneath the Floor last night. The Jeff Bridges character did appear very selfish throughout the moovie but in the end it became clear he had given his all and enabled all that he met. It lead to great success and wisdom in his life.

recognize your own nature

nature likes to put on appearances for the faint of heart, but true strength is required for relishing in nature, and in one's own nature, without need of a facade or of pleasant fictions.

who are all these unknown respondents who are guised as thus?

Have strenght in your own nature and reveal your 'unknown' identity.
