All Truth Is Relative, Not Absolute

The only Truth we are 100 percent certain about is our individual physical beginning and ending. And, that all thought forms begin and end (possibly a Truth for those who regularly meditate!)

THIS IS ABSOLUTE TRUTH...known with total certainty, by all people, at all times.

All other "truth" is relative and determined by individual perception and conclusion. Personal interpretation of all external events, including the "truth" of any written, spoken, and experienced event is the sole arbiter of "truth."

All truth is absolute only to each individual.

All other consensual "truth" appears to be "absolute truth" when it is declared to be so by a social, political, religious, corporate group by consensual agreement of the participating individuals. In this case of constructed "absolute truth" declared by a social group, the individual abrogates his/her personal view of Truth to that of the view of his/her group.

Herein, lays the the deep chasm of mistrust of individuals for other individuals: a separation created by a conformity to a "group-think" that is enforced by social mores and psychological guilt/shame. If one group claims their truth as "absolute" and it differs from that "truth" of another group, then resentment, anger, hostility, and war can result.

If the birth and death of physical (and thought) forms is 100 percent certain, then the uncertain moments spent between these two points in a personal lifetime assume critical importance in determining the quantity and quality of personal existence. The need for a personal Truth is imperative.

A conscious roadmap, personally developed, is needed if one is to spend a lifetime in authentic, balanced S(s)elf expression.

Any personal alignment with the "relative truth" of a group is optional and may be supportive of one's personal Truth. However, just because a group says it has a "truth," does not make this "truth" absolute. Only you can dictate what is an absolute Truth, relative only to you.

The Mangrove Seed Journey is one of many roadmaps to authentic personal S(s)elf expression. The Truth contained within the path, process, and practice of the Mangrove Seed Journey to Peaceful Living is universal and has existed for millennia.

Yet, The Mangrove Seed Journey is only one expression of many personal pathways to a conscious and meaningful human existence.

Its foundation is Universal Truth; owned by no one person nor social group. It can only be shared freely. May this S(s)elf expression of a personal Truth inspire you to find and manifest your own "absolute Truth" while you dash from birth to death.

Ask your S(s)elf, is my daily life crippled in any way by fear that has been imposed upon me...consciously and/or unconsciously...by any social, religious, political, or corporate group?

how is "life" REALLY spent?

1. THE FIRST THIRD is finding out what you THINK you are.
2. THE SECOND THIRD is proving that you are not what you THINK you are.
3. THE LAST THIRD is spent recovering who you really are--- an authentic BALANCED S(s)elf !
