Re: Universal Truth
In Response To: Universal Truth ()

I am commenting on the opening paragraph and also putting some questions on the table.

"Universal Truth: A thing that is true regardless of the observer's perspective."

* This statement is true based on what I know. But how would people really know if that is a true statement? Would they be saying it is true based on some kind of blind belief or unreasoned feelings? Are they saying that no one can have perfect consciousness? How do people actually know if what they believe is true? How could they actually come to know that "Universal Truth: A thing that is true regardless of the observer's perspective"?

"At this time, no person can claim to be in possession of Universal Truth because no person is capable of viewing ALL things from ALL perspectives"

* A person can make any claim, and if they say they are capable of viewing all things from all perspectives that would be a useless claim to make because the only way others would know that is true is if they could also view all things from all perspectives. Having said that, why would we put limits on our potential? How does one actually know that "At this time, no person can claim to be in possession of Universal Truth because no person is capable of viewing ALL things from ALL perspectives."? Even if someone can view all things from all perspectives, how would people know for sure unless they possess that ability?

In my view, the search should not be to see if someone else can see from all perspectives, because the only way one will know that for sure if they can see from all perspectives. The best people can do is to learn and reason to garner as many of the perspectives that are crucial to crystallizing their own selves and minds.
