33 said:I understand why you believe that, but I disagree. Professor Bloom wrote that "the virtue of openness" is the "great insight of our times." The idea that truth is relative has destroyed America by transitioning its citizens from a "democratic man" to a "democratic personality", or a liberal democracy without Natural Rights. Thus diminishing the intellect and responsibility of the individual, and further obfuscating the truth from being understood.
I am not planning on dying to get to where we're going. As Jesus said, Heaven is here on Earth. We just aren't spirituality worthy of seeing it.
All beliefs are not valid. One of us is right and one of us is wrong. I concede I may be the one who is wrong and you may be the one who is right, but we are definitely NOT both right.
The Tree of Life is the 22 Hebrew letters (3, 7, 12) and the 10 numbers. This equals 32, which is equated with the Heart in Kabbalah. The word of God is math, it is not abstract or unknown.
Check this out, and I guarantee you will no longer think truth is unknowable:
I never said that truth was unknowable, I said the Ultimate Truth is unknowable. Nothing you can show me or have me read will change that belief. Why? Because then I am ascribing to someone else's truth, and box myself into a corner. I find it inconcievealbe that anyone would claim to know the mind of God. Would it expand upon my own understanding of the truth? Quite possibly, if it resonates with me. I am immeadiately skeptical of anyone who claims to know the "Truth" as you seem to be doing. I have found my own truth, and that is sufficient. Nothing has been obfuscated from me, my intellect and responsibility to my other selves has not been diminished, my understanding has only grown in strength as the questions I ask are answered, and new questions arise.
Not sure what you mean by a liberal democracy, as we are not a democracy, we are a republic. I would disagree that the idea of relative truth is what has destroyed America, there are many other and more compelling reasons for its apparent demise. What are Natural Rights? Please define.
The numbers 3, 6, 9, 12 are significant for me, and that is all that matters.
I was educated in the US, but my beliefs in regards of spirituality have nothing to do with my education. I've been out of school for a couple decades, and my Awakening happened quite suddenly and unexpectedly. It is quite convincing, and has nothing to do with Kabbalah, or any other organized belief system. I disagree with you, in that one of us is right and one of us is wrong. I do not have to believe in any specific dogma in order to transcend to the divine. We are all individual expressions of the One, and therefore each experience is unique and necessary to the whole, irrespective of belief, knowledge or personal truth. Can certain understanding bring us closer or get us there faster? I would agree with that, but it is by no means necessary, and there is not one particular understanding that trumps all others. We are both right, and we are both wrong. I am happy that you have found your path, one day we will meet and have a big laugh about this game we are both playing.
Will we transcend without dying? Possibly, but I am not an Earth native, and I tire of this world. Thankfully my service is almost complete. I am looking foward to going home, whether it is a living transcendence or death matters not.
Namaste
