I have been meditating on truth this last evening and into the early hours of the morning, and have arrived at this definition: Truth is that which puts the cell in sync with the organ, the organ in sync with the organism, the organism with its environment, and so on out to the infinite.
As such, all truth is deeply personal; we have each felt it when it has moved us in the soul. Further, all truth is universal. However, as finite beings, the only perspective from which we can recognize truth is our own.
It is arrogant to think we can recognize truth from any perspective other than our own; we can know that our personal truth is connected to the universal, but we cannot know how. To think we can know what is truth, or not, for another being is pure arrogance.
This pure arrogance is the pinnacle of pride--the ultimate and original sin from which all other sin has erupted; it has been the downfall of angels and men since the Beginning. It is the Antithesis of Love; it is the ultimate and singular Evil; it is the Enemy of Life because it is a proponent for the finality of death!
Is this the message Adam was created to deliver?
