Absolute truth

There is absolute truth. The universe and all it contains is changing and moving in a specific direction or directions. Science aims to reveal the absolute truth. What is our world and the rules that govern it? Science questions and examines everything and works to describe aspects of our world with the utmost precision and detail. Description is key. The more I am able to describe what I experience and the world around me with more and more accuracy, the closer I am to revealing truth.

A phenomenon of science and the scientific method to prove theories and the rules of our world is that the very act of recording or measuring a particular trait, the very act of examining and measuring an attribute, changes the behavior of that trait. As we understand today, we can not measure the momentum and position of an electron at the same time. Like most observations in nature, this phenomenon is likely witnessed at all levels of organization of life, when recording the activity of cells, of organs, of people, of societies. When we begin to record, the outcome changes. We as a society value the study of events and traits and populations and reactions and we require a language to prove or make sense of things. What we find to be true as a result of our scientific method deviates from the actual truth. When the camera is turned on, I get nervous and act differently. When the camera is turned on, what I thought to be true about myself is subject to change.

The language of the physical involves statistical analysis, numbers, which are crucial to our understanding of the world using the rules of scientific analysis. The laws that govern statistics further show that the very analysis of something does not provide us absolute truth. When taking multiple measurements of a particular trait, our results produce a normal curve centered around the mean, and the more samples we examine the less deviation we record from the mean expression of the answer we are looking for. This takes into account the inherent change that occurs when we examine. There is an element that is unexaminable and disprovable that influences every result. We may decrease the unexaminable, the error, as it is defined by statistics, but our results may underestimate the extent to which variance exists at the individual level. Does Gd exist in the error, in the tendency for variance to exist?

Being able to describe my thoughts, my experiences, my observations with the utmost detail (level of detail approaching infinity), allows me to approach the ultimate truth. Every one of us, every consciousness, can contribute to humanity’s understanding of ultimate truth if we are able to describe everything we experience and observe with rigorous honesty and open-mindedness. Our descriptions of our experiences are temporal. Subsequent experiences may influence our understanding of what we previously described.

Each person has a fracture of consciousness inside of them, a questioning, examining, living force that is able to analyze and conduct work on data and stimuli to produce an output. This output may be composed in thoughts, emotions, and action in time, and may be captured, existing through time, via languages or any recording medium. Letters, numbers, language, art, dance, music – any media of recording is an expression of consciousness and intellect that is solidified and lives in space through time as long as it exists. We input these media, are influenced by them, and output data or stimuli, thoughts, emotions, action, language – through this output rooted in inspiration, more media is created than previously existed. We contribute to the collective output of consciousness.

We create and our creations influence their surroundings. When I am able to capture elements of my consciousness, I reveal truths that my unique fractured consciousness or soul is only capable of producing. A wise person learns from everyone, as each consciousness, each soul, is able to teach its unique, trapped, hidden elements and truths. No one has experienced exactly the same life – no person has interacted with the atoms and forces of this world in the same pattern – no person has influenced the fundamental building blocks of this world in the same way. Our unique souls are uniquely qualified to process the consciousness and life that surrounds us and produce uniquely affected outputs that influence and shape our own direction and the direction of the world and the universe.

As we move through time we will approach the absolute truth. As we move through time, the accumulation of all consciousness in existence, inputting and outputting over time, continuously and uniquely processing the data and stimulus that life allows, will bring us closer and closer to the absolute truth. But this will only happen if it is sought.

If I assume that, in theory, all can be described with a level of accuracy approaching infinity, I presume absolute truth exists in the complete and perfect description. All can be described. Consciousness and all of its elements can be described. Change and directions that move the world can be described. All descriptions can be sought using the fundamental elements of language. So what are the fundamental elements of consciousness? Emotions? Energies? Everything is waves.

Language uses letters, sounds, or movements to capture concepts. The different letters, sounds, or movements capture similar essences of particular concepts, though due to the differences in the essence of the letters, though similar, the concepts described by different languages may vary. These differences contribute to the differences between cultures and language groups.

Writing changes the world and directs change. Writing changes the direction of the world. Writing alters truth as we know it.

How is truth measured at the individual level versus the societal level? What would happen if every human dedicated their life to dissecting the elements of their soul, rigorously examining their likes and dislikes, what causes them pleasure and what causes them pain, what drives them or what doesn’t at all. What would happen if each person tried to solve the mystery of what is life? Does it have a purpose? And if it does, what is the purpose? What if every person at least tried to use their consciousness and intellect to make an informed guess or theory, based on the knowledge and understanding that they have accumulated throughout their life.

When I hear others describe their human experience, it inspires within me new perspectives, thoughts, and theories on how I relate to my own soul. On how I have lived up until now and what assumptions I have made regarding what I know. Some concepts are so ingrained within me that I accept them as fact. I am seeing more frequently that many of the facts and stories I once accepted as truth are in fact false.

One of these fallacies is the necessity of accumulating wealth. On some level, I can’t release the idea that I should be wealthy. Even if I understand that money is not a solution to my problems, will not make me happy or satisfied, at this point in my life I still aspire to be wealthy. I am attracted to the ease of life I imagine wealth can bring. I could travel where I want, I could dedicate my time to passion projects and meaningful things. Rather than spend my time on work I find mundane and monotonous, I could buy whatever I want, live wherever I want, do almost anything I want, if only I was wealthy. The freedom of choice wealth appears to provide is so attractive to me – even if on some level I understand that wealth comes with undesirable consequences.

I would guess most people would rather be wealthy than poor, and there are undeniable comforts and ease than come with financial security and wealth. I think a part of our souls as humans is driven to have “all the options at our fingertips”. We are attracted to endless possibilities in our nature, just as matter moves to increase entropy – to increase the number of possible outcomes.

There is something inherently attractive about being free. The will of the physical world may arguably be to increase the number of possible outcomes we have in life. Entropy is driven to increase. Entropy is the spreading out of energy, a metaphorical increase the number of choices we are able to make. Would it be better if we had more energy invested in fewer choices? Alternatively, Is the purpose of life to increase my number of possible outcomes? The number of possibilities “at my fingertips?”.What will satisfy my soul?

Although my physical self and my human consciousness may be instinctively attracted to increase the number of potential choices I am able to make, is it possible that achieving this will not provide me with the returns I am looking for? Or perhaps it will, but only if I am able to make the right decisions? If I achieve wealth, although choose to live within my means, limit my spending and increase my charity, invest my time in meaningful endeavors rather than on drugs, meaningless sex, and other forms of gluttonous instant gratification, perhaps I can elevate myself to a level that I could not have otherwise had I not had the increased form of freedom that wealth provided me?

What drives me? Comfort? Money? Pleasure? Acceptance? Love? Why do I love beauty?

The more possibilities I have going in my life (rather than putting all my eggs in one basket) and the more I am able to balance my commitment to those activities, the less I will try and control the outcome of each possibility. The moment when I am fixated on controlling a particular outcome that I think will be “good” for me, the more I take my will back and the less I let go and trust Gd’s will for me.

Is life fair? Can I really say that life isn’t fair? Is it possible to quantify the fairness of one’s life according to pleasure and pain or good and bad over a span of time, and compare that quantity to others?

I inherently want to feel good. I try and do things that make me feel good in the moment, or work towards achieving goals that I feel are beneficial to my quality of life, work to obtain things I think I need, to buy things I like, to eat things I like, to find a partner that I like. I want the best for myself. And despite the best intentions, I have found that the actions I take to feel good do not always produce a long lasting positive impact on my life. Things that I thought would be good for me, things that I thought I needed, often do not satisfy me as much as I imagined they would, or for as long as I imagined they would. Gd inherently wants me to feel good. He puts things in my life that are the best for me. He has given me free choice to decide this to be true in each moment. He allows me to be satiated by true goodness.
