Truth

You inspire me! Your joy, your open-minded inquisitiveness, your love of Life! Wanting that to continue for the rest of your Life is what nearly compels me to share with you what little I know about how that might actually be possible. We have reached the point at which we really can’t proceed without trying to understand as best we can the concept of Truth. I don’t have a complete understanding of Truth, any more than I have a complete understanding of God, but the two are somehow related by our quest for the latter.

“So you are a king!” said Pilate. “You’re the one who says I’m a king” responded Jesus. “This is what I was born for, and this is why I came into this world: to bear witness to the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth can hear my voice. “What is the truth?” says Pilate. (John 18:37-38; TSV)

Again, I asked Google “Does Truth Matter?”  Again, about 622,000,000 results came back in 0.43 seconds. This is a huge, perhaps incomprehensible, diversity of opinion that exists freely, independently, and equally for every Human on Earth, the Sacred home of all Life in the infinite Cosmos! And that means you! If you choose to think about your answer to the question, that is your first step of mindful contemplation. If the question doesn’t spark any personal interest, move on! There are so many questions that you will want answers for, mindfulness (which I accept as another word for prayer) is the very first step of a process which eventually may lead to the discovery of your “connection” with God.

There are some, likely many, who will tell you that I am not telling you the truth about any of this. In my mind, I am. Thank God the choice is yours! I will close with the words of Euripides, “Question everything. Learn something…”
