➝ The Importance of Truth and Foundational Principles. 🔑

An axiom is a statement or proposition that is regarded as already having been established as true and is considered self-evident. We can be deceived into believing in the accuracy of an idea that is contrary to what actually ‘is’. Once we accept these false axioms we develop barriers towards information presented that is not in keeping with what we already consider to be true. It can become difficult to break down the barrier to recognizing the truth of reality, both within ourselves and in the world without. Self-knowledge is required if we are to no longer be deceived, manipulated, fooled, tricked, duped, conned, scammed, screwed, bamboozled, and hoodwinked into accepting falsehood as truth. We have to understand ourselves more, what is happening in human consciousness, how it functions, what the qualities of consciousness are, how consciousness manifests, and how it has an expression through the physiology. That is fundamentally important to understanding what is taking place in the world.

If we look at the etymology for axiom, we can see how important concepts are in our lives. An axiom is related to what we think is worthy, fit, of value, of weight. It comes from the Proto-Indo-European word ‘ag-ty-o‘, with the root ‘ag’ meaning to drive, draw, and move. Axioms are those beliefs that we take into ourselves at a core level that drives us, that draw us in a direction, that move us, they are weighty influences on our lives. It is important to not be deceived and manipulated into accepting falsities; otherwise the direction we go in may be built upon a flawed foundational understanding.

If you take within yourself the axiom that 2+2=5 then your development will be orders of magnitude different than if you were to understand that 2+2=4. The divergence in understanding grows exponentially with the degree of divergence from fundamental axiomatic principles of Truth.

“There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn’t true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true.” – Soren Kierkegaard

Ask someone: “What are 3 things you value above everything else in life, the 3 things you think are the most critical to your life and quality of your life.” You will get a diverse amount of answers such as: family, health, happiness, money, religion, etc. You will probably not get “Truth” or “Principles of Truth” as an answer from many people.

People have lost the idea that truth is valuable and that it determines the quality of our experience. That is the reason we are in our current condition/situation. Being in alignment with what ‘is’ (truth, reality) through speaking and living in harmony with the truth of Universal Cosmic Natural Moral Law, generates the quality of experience that manifests as our current condition. The quality and condition of our lives, and the amount of suffering we experience as a whole, is proportional to the degree to which we diverge from the Path of Truth. That is a fundamental Law of Nature.

Consider gravity: this is a law of nature. It does not matter whether you believe in it. If you step off a cliff, you are going to experience the result of what the law of gravity will do to the body, whether you believe in it or not. It is irrelevant whether you believe in Natural Law, because it is in place, and you are bound by it. You can choose to ignore Natural Law, but you will suffer proportionately to the degree that you ignore it.

“I’ve come to realize that the biggest problem anywhere in the world is that people’s perceptions of reality are compulsively filtered through the screening mesh of what they want, and do not want, to be true.” – Travis Walton

We fool ourselves by accepting something that has no basis in actual reality — ideas or propositions that are not true; or we refuse to accept the truth of reality, what ‘is’ in effect and occurring. These are the core reasons that humanity experiences suffering.

How to determine truth from falsehood is a subject for another time.

“What is true is already so.
Owning up to it doesn’t make it worse.
Not being open about it doesn’t make it go away.
And because it’s true, it is what is there to be interacted with.
Anything untrue isn’t there to be lived.
People can stand what is true,
for they are already enduring it.”
– Eugene Gendlin

Truth is what ‘is’, that which has undergone the process of occurring in our reality. Events take place in 3D space-time reality. That is what truth is in its most basic sense. It is not the understanding of the mind of “God”, so to speak, or anything abstract that confuses the mind, but simply, events occur. We can come to an understanding of what is actually taking place both within us and around us. I call this Truth Level 1, which is the current reality that is manifested or has been manifested or will be manifested, differentiated from Truth Level 2 which is Truth, Love, Good, Right, Morality, etc. that we need to align ourselves with in our actions to create goodness, rightness, etc. in the world. Our failure to understand truth is the core reason we experience suffering in the world. We have gone off the path of truth, off the spiritual journey. We are engaged in illusion, fantasy, flawed axioms and belief systems which we take as true but are fundamentally not true. Staying attached to false beliefs in illusionary constructs that are not in alignment with what actually ‘is’ (reality, truth – level 1, or with what is right, good and true – level 2) creates the problems and suffering we experience for ourselves and each other.

The truth of reality can be expressed from the scientific perspective of quantum mechanics. The waves of potential possibility that emanate from what we call the past have coalesced, condensed, collapsed and become actual events in the present moment. The truth is that which has already undergone the formality of occurring, it happened and is now a part of what ‘is’ as we progress forward in time to new formations of truth that will emerge based on the past manifestations in reality. To discover these truths is another issue apart from recognizing truth exists.

Truth is intricately related to the problem of why we experience suffering in our world. We need to understand what truth actually is at a core fundamental level. As we increase our understanding of the truth, we become more consciously aware of the reality that ‘is’ and better able to respond — our ability to respond is our responsibility — to this existence we collectively live in. Through awareness of our reality we can come to develop an increasingly accurate comprehension of various truths and be better able to recognize the nature of the current condition we experience and exist in; to truly understand the root causal factors that are contributing to our collective problems/suffering. With truth we can understand how these problems function and why we see them manifesting in our shared reality. Refusal to admit and acknowledge truth is disunity, disharmony, and a divergence from the reality of what is occurring, which inevitably degrades the human condition. Acceptance and alignment with truth and living in harmony with the principles of Natural Law allows the human experience to flower into something worth participating in.

Truth is like light, shining away darkness, dispelling lies and deception that put us in ignorance and self-inflicted suffering. It can be too bright for those who are surrounded in darkness and cause them to look away because of this discomfort. Truth can be uncomfortable, it can hurt, but that is only because one is living in darkness and is not already living in harmony and alignment with the truth. Ultimately, Truth Unites while lies divide. I cannot express the importance of Truth in its fullness; one will come to realize this on their own as they take into themselves more Truth that leads to deeper understanding of reality and themselves.
