What is Truth?

“To say of what is that it is not, or of what is not that it is, is false,
while to say of what is that it is, and of what is not that it is not, is true.”

Aristotle, “Metaphysics”


Truth is absolute, but what is perceived as truth is often relative to the level of understanding that a person may possess about a given subject matter at a given moment in time. More importantly, what one sees or believes about a particular Truth depends upon how one chooses to look at the evidence. What a person sees as absolute truth one day, may change in the blink of an eye when viewed from a different perspective. The perception of a given truth, right or wrong, has no bearing on the truth itself. Truth is unchanging and will always be what it is, regardless of whether an observer understands correctly, or not.

Just believing that something is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, does not make it so. In fact, an individual’s belief structure can and often does prevent advancement to a higher level of understanding. To believe that something is the absolute truth without conclusive proof blocks a person from being able to explore alternate explanations or to explore alternate conclusions based on the same set of evidence.

As an example, let us say that a driver takes his or her car into the mechanic and has the speedometer calibrated to perfection. The speed indicated by the speedometer is 100% accurate when the calibration is completed to the manufacturer’s specifications. After leaving the mechanic, the driver proceeds down a smooth, straight, and flat road. At a given point in time, the newly calibrated speedometer indicates that the speed of the car is precisely 70 mph. Is the speedometer indicating the true speed of the car?

The correct answer is both yes and no. While it is true that the speedometer accurately indicates the speed of the car relative to the road upon which the car is moving, it is not the true speed of the car because the road is moving. The driver does not realize that the road is moving because his frame of reference is flawed. As designed, the speedometer measures the speed of the car relative to the road and within that limited frame of reference, the speedometer truthfully indicates the speed of the car, but the design of the speedometer is not adequate to indicate the absolute true speed of the car relative to some unmoving point in space.

The car is moving 70 mph on the road, but the road is on the surface of the Earth. The Earth is rotating about its axis and revolving about the Sun. The Sun is moving within the Milky Way galaxy, and the galaxy is moving within the universe. The absolute truth of the speed of the car can only be determined relative to an unknown point in space that is perfectly stationary.

Just as the truth of the car’s speed is determined relative to the tools and reference frame used to measure the speed, so too is any truth understood relative to the way in which an individual interprets the data. If a particular interpretation of a ‘truth’ is understood and accepted on a given day, it does not mean that the understanding of that truth is correct, nor does it mean that the understanding will not change when the truth is viewed from a different perspective. The essence of what truth ‘is’, does not change, but what we understand about a particular truth can and quite often does change. Whenever this shift in the understanding of truth begins to occur, many might call it blasphemy. Discovering a deeper level of truth is not blasphemous to those who seek the truth because the deeper understanding has always been there and we are the ones who failed to see it.

Jesus tells us in the Bible that He was born for the sole purpose of showing humanity the Truth. What is the Truth we need to see? Is it possible that after all these years that our perspective of the Truth has not been correct? Is our understanding of the Grail like the speedometer on the road and we have failed to realize that the road is moving? As this mystery unfolds, the understanding of Jesus and the Truth He wants us to see might begin to change. Your understanding of how and why America was founded will also change on many levels. The veil of mystery and secrecy surrounding the organization we know as the Freemasons will begin to peel away. While change is never easy, sometimes it is necessary if we want to find absolute Truth.

The reader may at times have difficulties with the content of this blog. Some of the concepts may be hard to understand and accept at first. One might expect a wide variety of reactions, ranging from outright denial to a certain amount of anger, and ultimately a sense of awe might begin to take hold of the reader’s heart and mind. The links between seemingly unrelated events that span centuries and the manipulation of important historical dates will seem impossible, yet the evidence will be as clear as day.

The information offered here is more than just the opinion of the author. As you read and attempt to wrap your arms around the content, bear in mind that you are not being asked to believe anything. Every claim is backed up by proof. Each person owes it to himself or herself to look at the evidence objectively, and to decide for themselves what the Truth might be in relation to their own personal frame of reference. This will not be the end of the journey, it is but the beginning. Only when the Truth has fully revealed itself will the journey be complete.
