Lately I've been musing that there might be a god after all, and if there is one, I would guess at the moment that it is "The Truth." The truth manifests itself through all things, alive and not alive. The truth is itself all things. However, because most things do not have a conscience, like humans do, we are able to not only be living truth but we are also able to study it, think about it, decode it, examine it, use it, etc. It's like, all things are manifestations of truth, and instruments of it. We can be "sharper" instruments because we can sense things that most other beings cannot. Nevertheless, there are beings who can sense things we cannot sense such as bats and dolphins, which use a "radar" type of hearing/seeing. They have developed such adaptations as a species overtime because that way they are more efficient at survival. Nevertheless, what I want to tie into the whole survival aspect of life is that there is more truth to be noted from the outside world the more our senses can perceive. And the more our mind can do with truth. I know A.Lin would disagree with me on this, and I probably wouldn't be able to put up a good argument because I'm only just playing with the idea. But basically, what I think is that with more evolution, we are more and more able to perceive truth, understand it, and do more with it. It expands our capabilities as beings in existence.
Anyway, I find truth within me a lot. I find that I have denied truth within me a lot too. Usually when I notice that that's what I'm doing though, I feel a bit disappointed about myself but then I get over it and realize that I cannot go against truth. For example, after getting into a fight with someone I care about, I stand strongly for my POV. Shortly after, I realize that my POV is not so complete, and what the other person is saying is also true, and that because I wanted to stand for my POV so much, I exaggerated it and denied the possibility of truth coming from the other person. This process of realizing more truth within me is what I mean by there being truth within us all. However, I can also, as I've done many times before, try to hold on to my anger, and push away all thoughts that come into my mind that stand up for the other person's POV and thus make my own POV even stronger and more "cement-like" to the point where I have to keep it in my mind constantly in case the issue ever comes up again and I feel "strong enough" to defend it. In this case, I would be blocking thoughts that come into mind which also stand for truth. At some point over the past few years, after accepting truth within me, I've come to realize that usually (at least) both POVs have a certain amount of truth to them. Discarding either is like breaking the truth and wanting to keep only part of it. It's like that old Salomon tale of wanting to keep half of the baby. You kill it that way. The truth is to be had as whole as possible. It is within us already, I think the only thing that stands in its flow is our ego, which is my other musing of lately.
But yea, let's see how the truth fits into the old Christian prayer "Our Father":
Truth, which is everywhere and in everything,
Wise is Your Name;
Your kingdom come,
Your will be done,
everywhere.
Help us survive this day,
and tell us how to forgive ourselves,
and help us forgive those who sin against us;
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from our egos. Amen.
