Faces of Truth

Truth has more than one face, as “truth” resides in every perspective. As our perspectives change, so does our truth, our subjective truth. Each of us experiences truth in some form or fashion, but subjective truth is subject to our comfort and limited points of view.

When we experience something, truth is formed from our experience and everything we have been taught. Again, that truth is subject to which way the wind blows, agendas, and in many cases, outright deceit. It is not just history that is written by victors, but the “truths” we come to live.

Most feel comforted in our truths even when they are based in cultivated lies. When we hear that someone, maybe a murderer, a molester, thief or warlord has been detained or killed, we feel safe in that perceived truth, be it actual or not. Now, if others join the bandwagon, our belief, being verified through others becomes our comfortable intersubjective truth.

There is another truth, objective truth. It is objective in that it depends not on the perceiver, just that it is true. Then, there is absolute truth, known only in the divine, God.

When I was touched on the shoulder and my name called to me, I knew that I was to write; so I write what is now within me. It was divine truth, absolutely. Others have lived what I lived and have conveyed the truth of their experiences as I am doing. If there is a problem with receiving absolute truth, it lies within the humanistic receivers of that truth. Devine truth is conveyed infinitely, without contrived words and concepts. It is a knowingness. While the recipient of that divinity knows what they know, it is virtually impossible to convey in a world confined by finite understandings. While those who have lived this ultimate truth are convicted in their new beingness, those who have not had the direct experience of God are limited to finite transferals and belief.

I say these things not to discourage you but to let you know God’s Wisdom lives and is able to be received and lived by each of us. The Divine, Is. God, Is. There is a reason God’s reply was, I Am that I Am. To know God’s name, is to experience God beyond all the limitations imposed by small worldly perceptions, such as names.

When my event happened, I had imprisoned myself in my bedroom after my wife passed away. During that time, I slept, cried and fasted. I did not do those things with purpose but because I was at my end. Sometime during my nearly three year self-sequestration, God, the universe of the Devine rescued me, and everything changed. I was born anew, and I knew, in part, God's Wisdom, and that is where the journey got interesting. Though I knew what I knew, I had to traverse everything I had once believed as truth. Believe me, cognitive dissonance is real. I had to go through my fires, let go of my impurities, my chaff, and recognize me for who and what I Am.

Unfortunately, what most have not realized, is that through our judgements, our livingness of the world, we imprison ourselves. Hence, the actuality of God is never wholly conveyed or understood in this dimension.

There is hope, but hope is merely the notice of more. There is work to be done by each of us, for and by us, we precious souls. We must allow ourselves to be more than who and what we have been told. The infinitcy of the Devine awaits our courage to live beyond the world. ~ I Am - Wisdom
