We said in Part I that
trying to nail down a Universal Truth was too hard. We said
that truth must be personal, and feel good.
Many practical people (and scientists) would say that truth
is what can be observed. If someone asserts something as
true, they will say 'prove it!' and what they mean by proof
is, 'does it exist?', or 'can it be demonstrated?', which is
the same thing. But this is the wrong question!
All material objects can be regarded, validly, as truth. All
you have to do to verify this is touch it, or look at it, or
hear it, or taste it. Case closed: truth is what can be
observed and measured, right? Well, not so fast!
If we look a little deeper, we can see that what exists is
the result of the decisions and conclusions of conscious
beings. The house you live in, the car you drive, and the TV
you watch were all constructed from blueprints of thought.
Without those templates of thought, action is random and
uncoordinated, like a child’s drawing. We may say, “well
that’s true, but the material for the house and the car and
the TV already existed.” Yes, but all we have to do is take
our reasoning deeper still. If thought created the material
objects and devices of our modern society, then what is
thought? “Thought is a biochemical reaction in the brain.”
No, that is a superficial definition as well. It is merely
descriptive and doesn’t tell us who or what created the
energy that make up the quarks and the atoms that form the
cellular structure of the body and the genetic material
(DNA) that programmed the whole thing. Eventually we reach
a point where we cannot define a small enough particle and
we say, “well, the energy in the universe came forth from a
singularity or a quantum excitement,” or something vague
like that.
We know from the Law of Conservation of Energy that matter
and energy cannot be created or destroyed. Therefore, all of
the energy in the universe must have existed, in some form,
without reduction or increase, since the beginning of time.
But that is absurd, for it means that at time t= 0, all of
the energy in the universe, even if it existed in a
singularity, was created from nothing. But then of course
where did the energy of the singularity (or the quantum
excitement or whatever descriptive term is used) come from?
Usually this leads to logically prior entities or energies,
or parallel universes, but then we must ask how these were
created as well. The fact is that this materialistic
argument always breaks down, because something cannot come
from nothing!
Or can it?
Ultimately, all questions about the origin of the universe
and Truth with a capital T come back to a non–physical,
causative, creative principle, and so ultimately, Truth must
be related or associated with that animating principle.
Although it is easy (and obvious) to say that truth (small
t) is what can be observed, Ultimate Truth, or Truth with a
capital T, must be something quite different.
Truth is not what manifests. Truth is not what exists. Truth
is not an object.
Truth proceeds from the decisions and conclusions of
conscious beings. Or even more precisely, Truth (capital T)
is the creative principle of consciousness.
In other words, what we observe around us is not the
truth. It is the result or end product of Truth.
Looking to matter and energy for proof that something is
true is like saying the cart draws the horse! It is the
consciousness of the horse (and human) that directs the
cart. It is putting effect before cause. Cause is
consciousness, effect is matter and energy. Those who are
uncomfortable with these arguments may have to wait for the
death process. Then, and only then, will the skeptics and
the materialists be convinced. However, at that time it
won’t matter, for they will have returned to native state,
and feel only well–being.
Relating Truth (capital T) to Manifestation
On planet earth, there is always a time lag between the
desire for something and the manifestation of it. In order
for something to manifest, one must follow one’s creative
process, first honing and clarifying your vision (thought
template) and then taking the necessary actions to put your
ideas workably into the physical universe. But to say, 'in
order for something to be true it must be manifested, and if
it has not manifested, it is not true' is to ignore the fact
that it is the aligning of thought toward the goal that the
cause of the manifestation. When people say 'prove it" they
mean 'manifest your assertion instantly'. Unless you are a
very advanced being indeed you will not be able to do this,
but it is no reason to stop your creative process. To use
the idea that 'it has not yet manifested' as a reason to
give up on your dream is to cease the process by which that
dream will come into existence. Such nay–saying arguments
focus on truth (small t) instead of Truth (capital T).
What has already manifested has no special meaning other
than as a demonstration of how consciousness has thought
and acted in the past. When Truth is regarded as matter and
energy, then one always creates the future from the past.
That is like driving your car backwards, always looking at
where you’ve been.
As we said in Part I, Truth is personal. The cause point of
all activity in the life of a conscious being is the
consciousness of the being. The resulting conditions in
which the life is lived, is the result. Philosophers of
truth get confused because they believe that consciousness
sallies forth from chemical reactions in the brain. This is
a fundamental error and leads to perplexity.
If someone is telling you that your truth is invalid because
it has yet to manifest, don't pay any attention to them! The
only way you can manifest is to hold to your vision, which
is the same thing as saying, aligning the frequencies of
your vibration to that of your desire. This is easily done
by imagining what it would FEEL like to live your dream.
Since a feeling is nothing more than a vibrational pattern
of energy, by finding the feeling you are vibrationally
matching to your desire. This process, if done correctly,
ALWAYS results in a feeling of inner excitement and
eagerness, and It leads to a desire to get into action right
away. Continuing to do this will eventually result in the
manifestation.
Personal Truth is that which feels the best to you. It comes
about from deciding something and then aligning your
energies to it. People who demand proof are mixing up cause
and effect. It is not necessary to prove anything to anyone.
All that is necessary for manifestation is an understanding
that a conscious being is the source point, and the
manifestation is the receipt point. In other words,
manifestation is caused by Truth (capital T) and results in
truth (small t). Once this is understood, no one will be
able to sway you from the realization of your desire.
