The Truth of the Matter

Truth, like water, always seeks its own level and follows the path of least resistance to get there. It flows through all the channels of untruth and complexity that attempt to misdirect it and keep it from its goal. The truth is everywhere and in all things.

The truth is always simple and clear and the goal of truth is to be known and, once known, to be applied. This is the crowning achievement of all knowledge. This is wisdom.

The truth is never hidden. What is true can never be buried or lost. Yet the truth will never cease to be discarded by the many who find its shining simplicity unworthy of their own ambition.

But the truth will always be found by the few who desire it as a guide in their service to others.

See Nature as Friend and Foe

Just as everything that glitters is not gold, not all of nature’s wonders are wonderful.

Without animal instincts the world would not exist but, for mankind, their use must be consciously and judiciously controlled. Survival of the fittest is “dog eat dog” in the animal world but it has no place in enlightened human society. To nurture the young and succor the sick and needy is to overcome nature by seeing it for what it is: a lesson book for the spirit.

Using others as ladders for achieving wealth, power and position is the fall of man. But winnowing out the vile and the corrupt among us is the duty of all citizens.

Our virtues are evident in the choices we make.
