What is Truth?
Truth is knowledge that when acted upon elevates the practitioner to a higher degree of understanding, usefulness or awareness.
Understanding is the conscious awareness of the relationship between thought, action and consequence. Usefulness is the degree to which our service or application of knowledge elevates our physical and or spiritual relationships. Awareness is the sense of interconnection of all things. When a child turns on a light, he or she sees the result. To see the electrons in the wiring, the breaker box, the utility poles, transformers and the generator is to be aware.
Many claim to have or to know the truth, as if the truth were a thing to be possessed. They then use this possession as a tool to enslave others. It is in our nature to seek and to cultivate truth and many follow blindly the perverted orations of those who profess an abundance of it. Religion is not alone in its claim to possession of the truth. Even atheist espouse a superior knowledge and hold in disregard those who think differently. To be certain of ones beliefs is to close ones mind to other possibilities. Our world is nothing if not infinite possibilities and to willfully ignore the same it to sever our potential for spiritual growth.
