All truths are true?

[thefool]

Hello friends,

I've thought about this for a while and would be interested to see what you think. There is the idea in new age thinking that the truth (or may we say, facts) are actually relative rather than definite. That is- what is true for you is your truth and may not be true for someone else. I am not sure if this was ever touched upon in The Law of One or not, but there are several things in the Law of One that might make this possible. The first is infinity. That infinity exists allows for any possible reality to exist. And the second is that all is, literally, one. This implies that reality is illusory or perhaps holographic in nature and thus anything is possible just as you can imagine anything you like.

I understand this only in concept. In real life it makes no sense to me, really. There are several things that I could list as example that could not possibly not be true for anyone, such as the fact that the United States of America exists, that there are oceans on Earth, or that The Godfather Pt.2 was by far the best of the trilogy.

Ok, the last one is debatable, but can anyone help me understand the first two, or this concept of all truths being true?

Oh ! How did I miss this wonderful discussion. I must check OLIO more often now

I think it can also be the perspective that changes the truth. In our 3D reality the truth is known only in the small slices. We don't get the whole truth. we just see a side view so to speak. Someone else may have the other side and another may have the other slice. Why do we think there are so many religion all claiming to correct. And at their origin unadulterated point they are actually all true to their truth. It reminds me of the story of the 5 men with blindfolds who were discovering an elephant. They all got a side of the standing elephant. One men said the truth is like a big ear, another said it is like a big tusk and another said it like a big pillar. They were all correct while no one had the entire truth.

We the humans live on the planet earth thinking we all have the same reality but is it? Your reality depends upon your belief system. You see what you believe in. It is like that experiment I heard about.

A group of flies were born and raised inside a glass box. They had all they needed to survive inside that box. The learned to fly inside that box. They had the freedom to fly anywhere inside the box. Then the box was removed. The experimenters were surprised to find that the flies did not fly away. They would just fly up to the earlier boundary and no more. They had learned to fly and live inside the walls and that was their world to them.

I just remember this from my memory and don't have the supporting evidence but it does provide a very interesting insight about how we learn to define us and our realities based upon our belief systems. That becomes our truth.


I can think of a few simple real life example where the truth being relative can be explained.

For ex: The sun rises in east and sets in west every day. That is our undeniable truth. But to an entity with a large enough perspective of our solar system, that is not correct. For that entity the truth is that sun remains stationary and the earth revolves around the axis to cause this East West thing to happen.

For ex: The mass reality is that aliens don't exist and they will deny it even when one is standing right in front of them. They will use the hallucination, physical illusions, confusion or any other argument in the book to deny them. Once the belief is set one way we will find many ways to ignore the other aspects of the truth or reality.

For ex: I have thought sometimes that maybe there are more colors than 7 that we know of. Just here on 3D. It is totally governed by our eye organs to create a perception of these colors. The organ changes the perception changes and the colors become less or more. The same world but different reality and different truth.

PS: Does USA really exist from space? how do you create the country boundaries from space? Did these oceans really exist a few hundreds of thousands of years or millions of years ago. The earth crust aligns itself constantly and there might have been some other oceans.


SO the bottom line is - change your perspective and you can see an entire new world. The perspective can be restricted by the physical limitations like the organs. Or the mental limitations in the form of beliefs or just divinely placed as part of 3D design.
