Truth is relative to time and space.

What is truth today, may be turned on its ear tomorrow with a new theory or contradictory evidence.

Instead of recognizing a fundamental truth, I have recognized many of the lies that I believed for a good portion of my life. What exists from that point on is a type of limbo in which everything that is, is suspended in doubt in my mind. That is until I read Rene Descartes. Then I seen that there was a man who went through the same fundamental problems as I did, only 400 years earlier than me. His research yielded the fundamental truth of what exists when everything else can be a lie and deception. That thing is that "I am", and that I exist every time that I say "I am", and it cannot be wrong. Therefore, as he discovered, I must exist in some form no matter how many other things that I doubt. This truth has had a profound impact on how I think of things. It has become my base of truth; my foundation that I can build everything around without false assumptions.

Yes, energy is so much of made of love that it can be said to be love like faith can be said to be evidence. Truth is an abstration for what is and everything is truth, in one sense or another, especially in the mind which is the closest observable to truth plus your awareness. Your mind is a super computer that says there is a God and yet it itself is a machine. Awareness must be in everything for it to come alive and be aware. Energy also has some awareness or is so closely allied with awareness as to be it or come from it. God is an abstraction so we can only be aware and be part of that awareness. but never know it all at once, but sense it all at once. The mind does it by comparing images and noting discrepancies. Matching images, no conflict, harmony, peace, contentment, preponderance of the evidence, God. Logic can only analyze it, but indicates it by analogy and imaginary numbers. It can be easily understood or you can complicate it and not understand it. Many men say they can't understand women, or they won't bother. Many women say they do, or more or less do, understand men, and I believe it. Many say they don't know truth and can't know God and I believe it. Some say they know God and I believe it because I know. If you complicate it more, it will become unclear and you won't know it. It has to be put simply. E=MC square plus awareness of it and in it. Even the tool we measure with uses imaginary numbers saying the tool doesn't know itself. Every situation requires applying or seeing another truth. Ideas, like food, although great, spoil shortly. Life is a process, not a conclusion.

perfection and enlightenment are downright impossible in a world where change is the only constant.
what constitutes perfection or enlightenment today won't be valid tomorrow, when the truth has evolved and God has showered us with an influx of previously unimaginable circumstances.
one can only cultivate love with all your ingenuity... both the capacity to give it and receive it.
there's no other undertaking that does more to build up your power and intelligence.

Your life is your own. I recommend that you get out in the world, make good friends, and great memories. Because, when it comes down to it, relationships are all we have. We all start and end at the same place, so what matters is how we get there. So be a great friend, brother, dad, sister, mother, or whatever it is you need to be, because after all, "There is only one happiness in life, to LOVE and be LOVED".

I feel very fortunate to have found truth. It does exist.

Truth: Pain bad. Must avoid pain. Unless she be pretty then pain good. (Sorry.)

This is my truth: "I am alive."
