It's...First, let me say that I like your post. It's well written and thought provoking. For most of my life I would have agreed with you that we can't know everything. However, I think there is an absolute reality--it just can't be perceived. You can't see it or touch it or taste it, but you can be aware of it. This is based on my own experience, through meditation and 24 years of trying to make sense of the universe. The concept of "being one" is pretty well known, but the part that most people overlook is that if we are one then we are not separate. I know that we are one because the idea and all its implications resonate with me down to the core of my being. That's where absolute truth resides--not in articulable expressions but in a sense of deep knowing. I've thought a lot about how to convey this to people, but haven't yet found a way. Words are defined only in terms of other words and so they cannot express ultimate truth. Think of this though: all things have a beginning. If you back far enough, you'll find a first. So, way back at the beginning of all things, there was only 1. A single, united thing, whatever it was. At that point, it makes no logical sense for anything else to happen--there are no outside forces cause change, and this thing is the single simplest thing there is, all one piece. That's reality as I see it.<br /><br />--DaveZeetonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11852782845460632160noreply@blogger.com
