5.2 Truth and Reality

So there it is we've got: Absolute Truth, General Truth, Personal Truth and Deep Truth.. and what links them all.? Well to begin.. they are all expressing something that is true.. call it an 'actuality' or essential component of our 'reality'. Not only do they all express the same thing each one implies the other.. General truth is only possible because each scientist doing the same experiment experiences the same personal truth. Many Deep truth questions were asked long before the arduous scientific work in an attempt to answer them.. Who are we? Where did we come from? Why are we here? Some will say there are no answers or everyone's answer will be different.. both tantamount to saying "there is no such thing as truth". I reject that but freely acknowledge I must first BELIEVE there are answers BEFORE I can even begin to ask the questions.. so TRUTH itself is RECURSIVE!! I simply must quote the Bible at this point..

Heb 11:6 "And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him."

Well if you read 'The God Law' you will be aware that "Faith' is an essential component of truth because we will never be in a position of absolute knowledge. So if I could put a diagram to this.. I would draw three circles of the same size all intersecting one another with an area in the centre common to all three.. attempting to convey a deep and persistent relationship between all types of truth. So lets have a closer look at this 'Deep Truth'. Firstly what areas of life does it encompass.?

Mathematics is done in the realm of logic where truth and proofs are of the general kind. Although we can explain quite well why division by zero gives an incomprehensible number.. infinity.. we know we are well and truly over the edge when by the same rules we prove some infinities are bigger than others. As well as negative numbers we have irrational numbers, transcendental numbers (like pie) and even imaginary numbers. The Romans did not even have a zero! Some questions can be proven to be unanswerable.. deep truth indeed.

So what of other realms.. physics, chemistry, law, biology etc?

Next time.. do have a lovely day
