Absolute Truth
Dear Brother Ron
What do you think it would take to experience absolute truth? I think there is one universal truth that connects not just humans, but every living being throughout the whole universe which is capable of questioning its existence. I also think to perceive "absolute truth" in complete clarity would only be possible for beings who are completely in tune with their own Spiritual existence in relation to the external universe. However this would still be only "perception".
Maybe searching for these so called "truths" is of little importance and practical value as it's too easy to trip over obstacles on one's path if the focus is completely on the distant horizon.
Mister E
Dear Mister E
The
only "absolute truth" comes from God. To totally experience this, one
would have to be in the presence of God. This would mean the person
would have to be beyond the limits of space and time, which of course
would not be possible for any living human. So you are not going to get
absolute truth from any human or any human media.
And you are correct that even this experience would only be a personal
perception. Jesus was probably as close as any human has come to having
this kind of relationship with Him. I doubt we will see another person
with such spiritual insight in our lifetime.
You are wrong, however, in saying that the search for
such truth is of little importance or value. While you may never find
the absolute truth which applies to all things, your search will lead
you to the personal message God has for you. This will keep you from
tripping over obstacles as you seek to become the person our Father
wants you to be. So while you may not find the truth which is right for
all, you will find the truth which is right for you. And that has great
value indeed.
Best always
Brother Ron
