When I
think about Truth, I see it as God...I especially relate truth to
the idea of a trinity. God the "father" as Truth, God the
"mother" as the Holy Spirit or deliverer of the truth, and
Christ (Buddha, etc.) as the truth being in us (humans).
Truth is
something we can all know, and the closer we get to truth is, in my
opinion, the closer we get to God. Now, of course lots of people have
different ideas of the truth, but in reality, there is only one truth,
and no matter how we fight the truth or try to bend the truth in some
cases, its futile and only causes pain and disturbance.
I think
the pain and disturbance in the world at this time is really at the
core, a reflection of people wanting their truth to be the "right"
one...but that is ridiculous, the truth is the truth and no one can
change it. I mean we could blow up the whole planet and that would
not change the truth, it would still be. In oppressive governments
and religions, there is only one objective, to suppress the truth...
to keep people from finding the truth... because it is something you
have to find... within yourself, it exists there, and it is something
you have to discover for yourself, no one can tell you what is true
or not, they can help you along the way, but it is ultimately Your
journey.
I really
do find the trinity symbol for this helpful for me...I can relate
it to certain aspects of the world and groups and such...If I see
a society or group or family or even individual ruled by one aspect
more heavily than another it kinda gives me an insight into what is
happening... Say if it is a male (God the "father") ruled
society (family etc.) that tells me what the core situation is...if
a society oppresses women, it is basically not the woman so much,
but what the woman represents (God the mother/deliverer, and women
do deliver children physically) ... so basically that society is oppressing
women because they want to suppress the "deliverer of the Truth"...
they wish to decide the Truth themselves, on their own terms...and
do not wish their society to know any Truth besides what they deem
to be the truth. In a male suppressed society it would be basically
the same way.
So, to
me, the best thing you can do is work to become as "Christ"...
being in touch with the Truth, working to be Truth in the world...
receiving the Truth (God the Father) from The spirit of Truth (God
the Mother).
I know
this has a Christian theme to it, and I am a Christian... but I believe
that it applies to other religions, and even no religion...such as
psychology... the anima and animus... individuation etc., and also
natural phenomenon... nature, human nature... so sorry this is so
long... but this is one of my favorite
subjects *L*...Finding the Truth...I've been on the
search for many years!
