I finally found time to read through this and I must say that you do try to wrap a truth around and untruth. There are many who will disagree with you on the point that one can not totally understand themselves.
I am one of them. The absolute truth is that you can learn to understand yourself and why you think and act the way that you do. The subconscious can and will give you the information you need to understand yourself if you are in tune with yourself enough to break through the barriers that many do use to keep themselves from it.
You are right in the idea that many do not want to find the truth within themselves. I call this an absolute truth for there will always be those who do this. This is an example of the absolute truth of balance. It is a personal truth though that you at this time can not see/know yourself. This will only become an absolute truth if you let it :) It will become a personal truth however in the opposite direction if you so choose to break through the barriers you have placed to reach your absolute self and understand yourself absolutely ;)
There are many absolute truths in the world and you can find them in many forms and places. Here is a list of some;
Life is suffering, through pain we grow.
Life has it's up and downs with out it we can never understand true happiness or sorrow.
Life is truly magical, for we will always find surprises both good and bad through out our lives.
Words can only describe our ideas, the truth in them lies with the information communicated.
Opinions will always exist, for with out them we whould all be the same. :)
Thank you Luzifer for sharing your thoughts and ideas, I always find them so interesting even when I do not agree with them ;)
It is beautiful. Let us hope the minds that open after reading this, stays so. It gives a feeling of the eternal ocean. Pushing foward and pulling back, only to see what you might have missed the first time. Opening the eyes and mind ever more fully and continuously so. Please update me when you have more to share. I await eagerly...;)
I'm sorry that I wasn't here for this when you posted it. And at the same time absolutely thrilled to have read it now. Truth is a word thrown around frequently, and yet if you were to tell someone the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, ( so help you ____), they wouldn't be left with much to do but look at you like they're confused, because by the end of it your probably pretty gosh darn confused yourself.
I think that it's hard for people to get a grasp on the connection between truth and perception. That is if they ever even questioned the truths of perception in the first place.
Or the truth of truths. Or the perception of truth.
Or the perception of perception.
How can you know, except to question? To tear it apart until it sinks or swims on it's own.
I seldom read something these days, that makes me feel a little more enlightened, or that gives me the impression that there are more than 3 people in the world know what they're talking about.
And I tell ya'...right now I'm just ecstatic.
Very cool! Hope to see more, hell, hope to see it on a bookshelf! I like how you split truth up into personal and absolute. I've been thinking in terms of the quest itself, the quest for truth, and how the quest affects the outcome. I've split the quest into subjective and objective. But I've recently asked myself if the human mind CAN be totally objective. I think you've come to the same answer as I have.
As far as whether or not people can know themselves...what an example of a paradox, of two personal truths contradicting yet both being right! You say that one can not fully know themself. Another poster disagrees with you. I say you're both right. You can know yourself, if you're diligent and honest with yourself, if you work at it. You can not fully understand/know yourself, because there's always more to uncover. The more paradoxes one comprehends, the closer one's to absolute truth...
Great stuff Luzifer. Truth is bound by perception. five eye witnesses to an accident will have five different stories. They are all telling the truth-its just the truth as they saw it. Christianity is a good example of this. There are hundreds of different branches of Christianity that have different theologies based on one book. They all believe they have the truth, but it is their interpretation of the same book that the next denomination gets their version of the truth from. They can all find scripture to back up their beliefs, even though each version of their personal truth somewhat contradicts the other. Absolute truth is like the holy grail. It's what we all want
When i read this i can clearly say i understand your mind to a bit even more. I read this alot and the poems you wrote me. You know my points on this and those, I have spoke to you with spoken words with you about this. I think you should continue it or maybe this is another thing in life that is ment to be left unfinished and incomplete yet short. Who knows the world has many possibilities.
truth 1 is perfection and truth 2 is inperfection because we are human...i feel that its a great piece to a biography. your mind exposed you seem very truthful and caring....and with the drive to climb the mountain of truth with your intelligence and strength...i can trust a person with your insight as far as your chosen practice of satanism....i have seen so many stories and how the practice can take over and have the person do evil that i feel i can only trust myself.when it comes to satanism...the book is very interesting, allthough i am one that finds chapters interesting do to the titles, its like traveling up and down to the subconscious, midconscious, and lower conscious.to me that is...and thankyou ,,,,bye.....
