Somewhat disappointingly, far too many of those of humankind, believe that humans are the measure of all things. This is the fatal flaw within the human experience, and those that are truly seekers of wisdom and of the whole truth, recognize implicitly that not only is this a serious misconception, but they also recognize the futility of understanding the meaning of life, when one believes that humans are the ultimate arbiter of what is true meaning of such, and what is not.
Each of us is gifted with a mind, as well as having been granted free will, of which it is our highest duty to utilize our mind in the search for the meaning of our existence. We can be aided in that search by congregating with others that are the same sort of seekers, as well as with those that have successfully made that search and now are represented to us as avatars, that thus permit us to take in their enlightened wisdom, as bequeathed to those that are devotees of true wisdom and truth.
To live in a day and age, in which “rational” human beings, believe in the veracity that each one of us, is entitled to our own truth, is to live in an age, in which wisdom is at its nadir. There are not now, and never will there be, multiple truths about that which can only have one eternal truth. That said, it can be stated, that there can be multiple perspectives in regards to a particular perception, in which each of these perspectives could be fairly considered to be truthful. So too, the relatively of what we are dealing with, can present a perspective in which there appears to be the illusion of multiple truths, but this is itself, an illusion, and never will represent the whole truth.
Far too many people, banter about words like truth, and thus belittle it, but exclaiming that this is the truth, and nothing but the truth; when in reality, this is often just a personal viewpoint or a strongly held opinion. The reason that so many people are so firm in their belief that what they are propagating is the truth, is because if they can get others to believe that this is true, or just by their own unwavering belief that such is true, this thus makes it appear that it has more validity, than if it was not described as being inviolable truth.
For those that are truly seeking wisdom, and therefore are dedicated to the truth, it has to be acknowledged that as fallible human beings we are prone to making errors and misjudgments, which is why it is so important to calm one’s mind, so as to become in attunement to that eternal wisdom which is available to all who take the time, and devote the energy to sincerely seek for such. Those that most desire enlightenment, must first take off the blindfold and the shackles that have previously precluded them from absorbing into their mind that timeless wisdom, that will thus bring to them the overpowering Light of self-realization.
