TRUTH IS FOUND BY FILTERING AND FACING THE FACTS

FIGURING OUT TRUTH: BEYOND THE FABLES, FABRICATIONS & FALLACIES OF FALSIFIED FACTS 

​CLICK THE ARROW TO THE RIGHT FOR AN  AUDIO SUMMARY >>>>

Although fact and truth are synonymous and closely related it is important to make a distinction. Facts are obvious, stand on their own accord and "exist" as proof. Truth on the other hand is usually derived from and can be proven through facts. As scientist we should believe in the existence of an external objective reality. We should believe that this reality can be tested and proven through empirical methods. Sadly, as human history has proven, truth risks being converted into a convenient narrative. These streams of suggestions and thoughts often serve the purpose vested interests that tend to move us towards propaganda rather than homogeneous truth. Whenever we are presented with (data/news) information; it is important to know that assumptions, beliefs, biases, opinions and theory are likely to contaminate them. In reality It is virtually impossible to pass on or relay any information without perspective. Even the Bible, authored by inspired men and women is presented in the context of multiple perspectives. Information, like Alternating current electricity flows back and forth in both directions. In the same respect giving and getting information is also filtered through our personal perspective or interpretations. "Critical thinking" should filter our determinations and how we see life. Our eyes act like cameras and our ears work like microphones. Our brain is the platform or screen that we interpret life through. Our minds have the ability to decipher and adjust for the "fuzziness of facts" that life (LIES, LYING, LIARS, DAMN LIES AND STATISTICS) presents to us. Only facts filtered "WITHOUT feelings" should be considered. The brain is the physical organ that processes the data, but our minds are the vaults that can store, refine and re-experience feelings. We engage the brain to decipher how we interpret what our "thoughts in motion" or emotions are feeling. Our senses like hearing, listening, reading and seeing supply input to our brains. Once that input is positioned in our minds, we have the option to attach feelings and emotions to them. These intangible (invisible) aspects of our personality and consciousness directly influence our beliefs and biases. No one is exempt. Some filtering occurs at a subconscious level. This means that most of us are not consciously aware of how "closed" our minds are. Although GOD is perfect, GOD's instruments are not. The Gospel of Jesus Christ was penned by four separate authors who related the same experiences differently. The perspectives from a doctor, a fishermen, a tax collector and man who heard Jesus as a teenager are the composers of the first four books of the new testament. We must understand that these were fallible imperfect people. This diversity demonstrates a broad range of personal perspectives each depicting various spiritual principles illustrated through the life of Jesus. The fact is that truth cannot exist without obvious, realized and proven facts behind it. Facts are not controversial or debatable they are simply true facts. Es un hecho conocido.

SO FEW PEOPLE KNOW HOW TO GATHER AND MIX FACTS INTO A HOMOGENEOUS TRUTH. AS A RESULT MOST OF US REMAIN ON THE SIDELINES OF DIVISIVE DEBATES DICTATED BY OUR SELF-ASSURED BIASES AND BELIEFS.

IF OUR MINDS PLAY TRICKS ON US...WE ARE POOR MIND READERS!

Perspective is developed from a balance of experience (personal history), influence (environment/training) and any new or present information (learning). Our personal perspective can be regarded as a particular attitude or feeling toward or way of seeing something. Perspectives should not be categorized as right or wrong. They cannot be considered as absolute conclusions or immutable truths. Perspectives are like pictures or artwork. The beauty of seeing something in a particular way is simply considered a point of view. Perspectives are generally based on the way we physically or tangibly "see" something. This has a major effect on our perceptions towards how we interpret, regard and understand multiple things. Perceptions are our mental impressions derived from how we explicate the signals our senses send us. Perceptions can easily become reality when what we think becomes a belief whether it is factual or not! Many of us cater our behaviors toward others based on what we feel/suppose/think their aim or objectives are. Any judgments we make based solely upon perspective is very likely to be flawed. We can only assume that our point of view is right. When a person is doing the best that they can, no matter how we see it, we can only question their ability or competency not their intentions.  A statesman attempting to perform the job of a general is very likely to fail. The logistics, order and protocols of military life require both discipline and experience. In terms of war, any grievance can be used to instigate it, but it requires skilled commanders to wage or fight it effectively. Perspective is not a criteria for judgement, performance is. No matter how well or how poorly leadership responds we do not have the ability to read their minds. At best we can question a persons judgement but not their motives. While In the midst of the battle it is generally advisable to concentrate exclusively on the fight and NOTHING ELSE! There will be plenty of time to make accusations and point fingers once the war is over. Conducting an "After Action Report," allows us to critique both ourselves and others based simply on the facts not the feelings. In the heat of the battle the emotions we feel can distort the truth! For now let's stay on subject without diversions, distractions or nitpicking. Once the job done our evaluations can begin. Whenever we thoroughly critique ANYTHING we review EVERYTHING and no doubt find SOMETHING wrong! There's no doubt that somehow, somewhere, something can be improved. Even A.I. (Artificial Intelligence) is designed to constantly improve. Mistakes need corrections and glitches need fixes; but more importantly wrongs need reprimands. There is a spiritual side to every Natural/Tangible manifestation. When we are in our right minds it's easier to see and except the revelations that truth seeks to bring. Remember; no one, no deed, no policy, no action, no activity and nobody is perfect even if they say differently!  Facts are a certainty in life that present themselves to us without notice, bias or feelings. Truth should be searched out, sought and discovered. Jesus encouraged his disciples to seek, find and discover truth. The fact that Jesus understood how truth must be unfolded and applied illustrated how truth WORKS! The principles within his spoken words and parables pointed towards even greater applications of the truths he taught.​

HOW WE ENGAGE OUR SENSES & APPLY FACT AFFECTS THE WAY WE INTERPRET TRUTH  

There is power in facts, lies and truth; each wield their power differently. All lies and truth are based on fact. What makes a fact a fact is that it can be classified as INDISPUTABLE. Whatever "forms" a fact is as significant as the fact itself. For a fact to exist it must embody an immutable form.  As a "matter of fact," facts must be ENTIRELY true to be facts. Although truth is the actual foundation of ALL FACT, truth is often tainted by interpretation. What we "accept" as truth may contain fact, but it may also include beliefs. Beliefs can contain bias. Biases, colour our perceptions and produce "tints" in our thinking. Like any lighting, thought can become shaded or intensified in terms of hue, lightness, and saturation. Biases operate in the realm of "fact and truth" in light of what we think or what we believe. No one can create or have their own truth. Truth to be real truth must be derived ENTIRELY from fact. The longer we hold on to a belief, the stronger that belief tends to become whether it is true or not. It is "facts" that define the differences between science, spirit and superstition. Until we establish any act, occurrence or thing as fact it can only be a belief. The greatest obstacle we face in defining fact is distinguishing the difference between natural and spiritual ones. Spiritual facts cannot be defined by or authenticated through natural means. Natural definitions define things that we experience, hear and see strictly by other things we experience, hear and see. The evidence of a spiritual realm of existence is instinctual and intuitive. There are no natural tests or tools that can authenticate the "mind and movement of spirit." Proving that a spiritual realm exist from a natural perspective is akin to debating whether the chicken or the egg came first! Anyone understanding universal and spiritual order knows that the chicken came first. CREATION HAS ORDER. A prerequisite for existing in perpetuity requires that the natural structure of any creature formed meet certain reproducing criteria. This means it must be a dividing or egg laying or seed bearing creature, plant or organism capable of procreating and multiplying itself. Reproduction is the production of offspring. Creation is the formation of something from nothing. This distinguishes reproduction from creation. Reproduction is achieved by one of two means. There are two main forms: sexual and asexual reproduction.

ALIGNING OUR SENSES WITH THE SPIRIT OF OUR TIMES FURNISHES THE FACTS WE NEED 

Discovering or finding truth is easier for those who seek it than for those who have it foisted upon them. Anyone following our posts knows that we don't believe in accidents or happenstance but we do believe in coincidence. What we see happening in the world today should make us all keenly aware of how spirits operate. Apathy, mass shootings, military coups, insurrections, random violence and the effects of global environmental destruction have become the new normal. Reaping and Sowing also known as Cause and Effect have both Natural and Spiritual ramifications. On one hand the Natural/Tangible results of this cycle are usually marked or summed up by some activity or event. These ceremonious observances tend to diminish the intensity or trauma of the reaping effect and offer some closure or resolve. On the other hand the Spiritual ramifications can continue in perpetuity when visited and revived. The Spiritual ramifications of reaping what we sow must be resolved through forgiveness and reconciliation. Without inserting this aspect, hurt and resentment can fester in the consciousness and spirit of people for generations. Such is "The Lost Cause." Changing or rewriting the narrative of the blight of slavery does not address the vitriol spirit in which the atrocities were committed. Spiritual energies work like viruses and spread like pandemics. The invisible aspect of germs and viruses is probably the closest analogy we can make to how spirits operate. The lack of acknowledgement and denial in consciousness of how the ever present "spiritual realm" affects us all, is a bewildering fact. Ignoring the spirit "of" or "behind" our behaviors prevents us from properly addressing home grown biases and prejudices. These "attitudes of spirit" must be dealt with both psychologically and spiritually. Spirits take advantage of our discriminatory and selfish tendencies. Apathy is a byproduct of selfishness. Spirits desire to influence attitudes and behaviors they can inhabit. We are the ones who provide "the environments" that can sustain them. The fact that our legal systems have not addressed the impact spirits have on society leaves us vulnerable to evil. IT'S ALL A COINCIDENCE! A coincidence carries a meaning that most people misinterpret. ​A coincidence is "a remarkable concurrence of events or circumstances without apparent causal connection." Coincidences have cause and creators.  The fact is that coincidences are not accidents, fate, happenstance, luck or random occurrences. What makes coincidences so remarkable is that they occur so often. We control our own destiny and make our own luck. The fact is that the battles we wage against one another are just microcosms of the age old ongoing war between good and evil. The fact is that the war we wage has ALWAYS been for "our environment." The fact is that "the environment" is an all inclusive dwelling that includes our geographical, physical, psychological, social and spiritual estate. The fact is that our greatest crisis at the border is a war with the drugs crossing illegally, not the people. Only by following the money will we find the culprit behind the cause, the incentives and the why. The fact is that we have created blooms of toxic algae that are poisoning the smaller sea creature feeding on them. They in turn are contaminating the larger sea creatures that feed on them. We in turn are poisoning ourselves by consuming them along with the micro plastics in their diet. The fact is that multiple floating islands of discarded plastic trash are accumulating throughout our oceans. The fact is that "the environment" both naturally and spiritually is not defined geographically by borders. The food chain ranges from microscopic creature like hydra to multifaceted mammals like man. We are all part of the "environment of life." The fact is that those least responsible for climate change are the ones most affected by it. THIS DESCRIBES THE WAR WE FIGHT! It's good against evil! It's no wonder that the "word" evil is the root of the word "DEVIL." Facts have a tendency to overwhelm truth through presentation. Evidence is the presentation of facts to substantiate or bias truth. Court decorum and order is all about how evidence is admitted and presented. In the spiritual realm truth can draw the energy to overpower natural fact. One of the tenets for miracles is that greater truth is possible when faith is applied to it. Faith allows a believer to place a healing life sentence over terminal cancers death sentence and defy certain fate. Faith can defy the facts of fate when its truth is focused.  These are the facts and that's the truth.
