Absolute Truth
by Myswizard
“Humanity isn’t capable of discerning truth from falsehood. It doesn’t have the capacity.”…DRH
This is a new Topic which I feel compelled to add, due to the nature and timeliness of the subject matter. There isn’t any other matter, other than Love, in fact, more important than Absolute Truth.
In philosophy, The Absolute is the opposite of relative. The term has acquired numerous widely variant connotations in different philosophical systems. It means unlimited, unconditioned, or free of any relation; perfect, complete, or total; permanent, inherent, or ultimate; independent, or valid without reference to a perceiving subject. In epistemology, absolute means certain or indubitable as opposed to probable or hypothetical. As a substantive, the absolute is the ultimate basis of reality, the principle underlying the universe. Theologically, it is synonymous with, or characteristic of, God. Philosophically, it may be considered as the unknowable, the thing-in-itself; as that ultimate nonrelative that is the basis of all relation; as the ultimate, all-comprehensive principle in which all differences and distinctions are merged. The concept of the absolute was present in Greek philosophy. In modern times, both realists and idealists have used the term, but it is, perhaps, most intimately connected with the idealism of G. W. Hegel…Columbia Encyclopedia
Since reading discourses, theories, and opinions on Absolute Truth, I am absolutely amazed at how the discussions, when linked with relativity, get so very charged with emotion. This invariably leads nowhere, because of the qualities of anything Absolute. Absolutism is beyond the scope of relativism*. It cannot be discussed at all in linear (easy to comprehend, logical, not complex, with boundaries) terms. Only the non linear, references The Absolute…(God). The problem lies with the fact that man has been trying with the greatest of wisdom to translate, theorize, or pontificate on a subject for which there is no scientific answer. As DRH* says, “It’s like trying to find Ghosts with a geiger counter.” When faced with the “wall” of “The Spirit”, discussion tends to be circuitious, which comes back to, “The Unknown”. Many intellectuals and pseudo intellectuals don’t care to discuss the non-linear, because of it’s ethereal quality.
In his book, Truth vs. Falsehood, Dr. Hawkins has done thousands of calibrations, which he continues to do as he writes and lectures. The work is groundbreaking, astonishing and of course controversial. One hasn’t been lauded, who also wasn’t criticized. When you put yourself “out there”, it’s a fact that you will be stoned (so to speak, by naysayers). As the Doctor says, “Tell the Truth and then leave town quickly.” Truth, however, cannot be deconstructed through the scientific mind. All the masters that I have under the topics on my site, expounded in their time, on Truths that were not discernable through “abstract reasoning”. Only through Higher levels of consciousness does Absolute Truth rein free.
I will be calibrating (using the latest methods of Advanced Consciousness Research) that which I feel is relative to the world of spirituality (and writing from Higher Consciousness.) Although I’ve always used my own psychic capacity for discerning most things around me, I will be confirming using Consciousness Testing. The levels above 200 calibrate with Truth and levels below 200 do not. That is the only scale I’ll use here. I will not be doing any personal calibrations. (Only subject matter, past or present with integrous intention.) I have no vested interest in how anything calibrates. The only thing I’m seeking is whether or not, the particular subject matter is worth giving time or interest to.

Definitions from American Heritage Dictionary, Columbia Encyclopedia.
*Everyday truth is based on statements which are assumed to be fact only through beliefs, indoctrinations, biases, opinions, prejudices, or scientific reasoning. These things however, are “relative” to the “believer”. Therefore, truth in the ordinary sense is relativistic (Todays’ philosophers give no credence to truth relativism.) Relativistic truth is not Truth. The quote at the beginning of this article says, “Humanity isn’t capable of discerning truth from falsehood. It doesn’t have the capacity.” That statement is Absolute Truth. What we “think” is truth is not Truth. Absolute Truth is absolute. There can be no discussion as to its’ quality. It is Truth as it comes from The Field, which is what we know as God. Science works through mathematical equations and laboratory testing. It cannot, however, prove Absolute Truth, since it falls within the unseen realm of Higher Consciousness and Divine Presence. (But they’re always trying)

Truth
Noun:
Conformity to fact or actuality.
A statement proven to be or accepted as true.
Sincerity; integrity.
Fidelity to an original or standard.
Reality; actuality.
often Truth That which is considered to be the supreme reality and to have the ultimate meaning and value of existence.
Etymology:
Middle English trewthe, loyalty, from Old English trowth; see deru- in Indo-European roots
Synonyms:
truth , veracity , verity , verisimilitude
These nouns refer to the quality of being in accord with fact or reality. Truth is a comprehensive term that in all of its nuances implies accuracy and honesty: “We seek the truth, and will endure the consequences” (Charles Seymour). Veracity is adherence to the truth: “Veracity is the heart of morality” (Thomas H. Huxley). Verity often applies to an enduring or repeatedly demonstrated truth: “beliefs that were accepted as eternal verities” (James Harvey Robinson). Verisimilitude is the quality of having the appearance of truth or reality: “merely corroborative detail, intended to give artistic verisimilitude to an otherwise bald and unconvincing narrative” (W.S. Gilbert).
Thesaurus
Correspondence with fact or truth: accuracy, correctness, exactitude, exactness, fidelity,veraciousness,veracity, eridicality, verity. Freedom from deceit or falseness: truthfulness, veracity. The quality of being actual or factual: actuality, fact, factuality, factualness, reality.
Absolute

Usage Note:
An absolute term denotes a property that a thing either can or cannot have. Such terms include absolute itself, chief, complete, perfect, prime, unique, and mathematical terms such as equal and parallel. By strict logic, absolute terms cannot be compared, as by more and most, or used with an intensive modifier, such as very or so. Something either is complete or it isn’tit cannot be more complete than something else. Consequently, sentences such as He wanted to make his record collection more complete, and you can improve the sketch by making the lines more perpendicular, are often criticized as illogical.·Such criticism confuses pure logic or a mathematical ideal with the rough approximations that are frequently needed in ordinary language. Certainly in some contexts we should use words strictly logically; otherwise teaching mathematics would be impossible. But we often think in terms of a scale or continuum rather than in clearly marked either/or categories. Thus, we may think of a statement as either logically true or false, but we also know that there are degrees of truthfulness and falsehood. Similarly, there may be degrees of completeness to a record collection, and some lines may be more perpendicular that is, they may more nearly approximate mathematical perpendicularity than other lines. Accordingly, the objection to modification of an absolute term like parallel by degree seems absurd when it is used metaphorically, as in The difficulties faced by the Republicans are quite parallel to those that confronted the Democrats four years ago. This statement describes the structural correspondence between two distinct situations, and concerns about the possibility of intersection seem remote indeed. In this sense, parallelism is clearly a matter of degree, so one should not hesistate to modify parallel accordingly.
