Everybody lies, Dr Gregory House says so:

1. Everybody lies.
2. I don’t ask why patients lie, I just assume they all do.
3. It’s a basic truth of the human condition that everybody lies. The only variable is about what.
4. Truth begins in lies.
5. I’ve found that when you want to know the truth about someone that someone is probably the last person you should ask.
6. The most successful marriages are based on lies.
7. You want to know how two chemicals interact, do you ask them? No, they’re going to lie through their lying little chemical teeth. Throw them in a beaker and apply heat.

Major LOL for number seven!!!

Back on topic, what is truth, how does one define truth? Back at Earthdance, one of the DJ’s opening sets started with a voice saying 99.9999999999999…% of everything you know is WRONG! The timing was perfect, for the rest of the weekend while dancing like Robocop™ (my new trademark at trance parties), my mind was working overtime trying to find a definition for truth and what constitutes a lie.

One person might say, the light is red when the light is in fact red relative to his perception, to a colourblind person, the light might not be red, relative to the colourblind person, the person seeing the red light is lying as he is probably seeing it as grey (does perception make them both liars?) or maybe somebody told him that the colour he is seeing is in fact red in which case he is believing what the mass is believing. Is what the mass believe the truth? Is conformity to fact or actuality truth?

The earth is flat, that lunatic scientist saying it’s not must be stoned to death … sounds familiar? Does that mean we should take the word of one scientist or person ranked higher than oneself in the system as truth?

Einstein was smart enough to understand the principles of relativity, everything is relative except for relatives, putting that into context means the scientist making the claims about something might be wrong as well as his claims are only true relative to his perception and maybe his measuring instruments. Maybe his believes had an influence on his perception, something which plays a major role in the investigation of paranormal activities. Quote from Richard Rosen: Are you going out after the truth, or are you going out after something you believe?

What fascinates me is how elusive the definition of truth can be, every time you nail it down, another end comes loose requiring some more definitions which all requires some more definitions to back up the true definition of the definition under the spotlight.

You get a chainletter in your mailbox telling you a soppy story about some little girl who’s about to die if you don’t forward it, is there any truth in it? Maybe there is, the probability is leaning heavier towards it being a hoax, only the original source will truly know if it’s a hoax or in fact the truth. Should we discredit sources claiming to be true when one of the facts in the text doesn’t add up or when the general trend of a certain series of events doesn’t seem true? The general reaction is: “What else are they lying about?”

Depending on how strict your definition of truth is, in general, something is either true or it is false, when it is partly true, it is not true and according to the dictionary, when something is not true, it is false. The conclusion is that the only truth is that everything is a lie as it can not be true. Building on this loosely proven assumption and putting it back into the context of what society believes is true, since society in general believes that everything they know is true, I conclude that the truth is in fact a lie and that all lies are truth. If all lies are true, then that means there can be many truths all equally true and untrue at the same time.

Fascinating quote from Hieros Gamos which voids most of the above: The truth lies behind our eyelids, in and beyond our minds, at the tips of our fingers. It comes to us before we seek it, and once found, unfolds itself in its entirety. The implications of this we are learning to comprehend. A million realities superimposed over one another, anchored in the concept of phenomenon. The only One Truth is the universal Every Truth, and because one thing is true, does not make the other interpretations less true.

Is choice a lie? Is choice the truth? Choice is relative to whatever you want it to be.

Ignorance can only be bliss for so long, unless you have no conscience.

Garret Loporto (in my opinion) is by far the best motivational speaker that ever set foot upon this earth!
His message is simple, yet covers all of life’s tough questions, in short: “Listen to your heart”.

His latest blog entry is rather touching and I believe it’s powerful enough to influence your perception of life in a positive way.

Quote from Principia Discordia which is totally irrelevant (is it ever relevant?)

His worrying and meditation were disturbed when, as
if in a test of his faith, ordure fell from the second floor onto him. At that
time two people walked into the room. The first asked the second who the man
was sitting there was. The second replied “Some say he is a holy man. Others
say he is a shithead.”
Hearing this, the man was enlightened.

When we look at the world, we should realise that everything is part of the same consciousness, that other person, animal or living thing is another you and it’s part of you. There is only one consciousness and that is you! This brings us back to the Karmic Three-Fold Law which states whatever you send out into the universe, whether good or bad, will return thrice or as other might know it, love one’s neighbour as oneself. To end this piece of thought I call a blog entry, here’s some famous words from the infamous Robert Bruce:

In order to evolve spiritually, you need to observe your thoughts, observe your actions observe your words and before you speak, ask yourself these three questions:

1. Is it True?
2. Is it Kind?
3. Is it Necessary?
