Most, if not all of our lives are lived within the content of our beliefs, indoctrinations, positionalities, and opinions. This puts up an invisible veil between the Truth and falsehood (our illusions.) Of course the greater majority of the world has no idea that the beliefs they are holding have nothing to do with Absolute Truth. We are not protected from the ego’s illusions, so ultimately most of humanity lives life behind the illusory field of the ego.
Skepticism, cynicism, and complete disbelief does not preclude the existence of Truth according to God. What we hear from those around us who we have come to respect as our teachers, is simply 
handed down doctrine, beliefs, opinions, and positions. There is a way to Truth, but it is not within the content of our material world. The line of the non-linear realm of spirit must be crossed in order to get to where Absolute Truth resides.
It is for this reason that I have included the topic of the Absolute Truth into my web site. Using Consciousness Research, Applied Kinesiology, and the knowledge which comes from the Infinite Field, I will be listing some common illusions and explanations as they unfold.
1.) There is no such thing as karma.
Karma is a fact. It is Divine action/reaction. It exists whether one believes in it or not. See articles on Karma.
2.) The dead are missing something because of their death, died too young, suffered too much, were cheated out of living longer, or did not finish what they set out to do.
We are born with the nonlinear time of our death set. We do not have knowledge of what other’s Karma was or what the soul was learning here. Human feelings about suffering or being cheated are merely projections of the ego. We are either eliminating negative Karma or creating new Karma, then we go back to the non-linear realm of eternal existence.
3.) We are only remembered because of something we did, something we had, our offspring, or a legacy.
God, as well as all souls, remember everything. The Infinite Field of Existence records everything infinitely. Nothing is ever forgotten.
4.) God wants something and punishes us.
An Infinite Being of Infinite Love and Power needs nothing. Only human beings project neediness and human attributes onto God.
5.) There is only heaven and hell, and we are judged by God.
There are an infinite number of realms, dimensions, heavens, and hells. Where our spirit goes is by hierarchy, levels of consciousness (from the linear to the non-linear), and certain non-material choices we make. There is no judgement. There is only the witnessing of the Self unfolding. Karmic propensities and inheritance bring forth actualizations to achieve balance.
6.) That which is popular, must be correct or true.
Popularity is a symptom of the glamorization of society and the world. We project what we see as truth onto the over-glamorized.
7.) Intelligence is a sign of wisdom.
Intelligence is the knowledge of stored data. Wisdom comes from The Higher Self.
8.) Wealth will make you happier.
The wealthy have been taking their own lives for millennia. This alone proves wealth does not bring peace of mind. Happiness is a by-product of higher levels of consciousness.
9.) A little white lie won’t hurt anyone.
A non-truth is a non-truth no matter how small an importance is placed on it. All non-truth brings with it Karmic consequences. Nothing in The Field is overlooked.
10.) One person cannot change something or anything.
Everything is a potentiality within creation/evolution, which has the propensity to become an actuality. That is why the future cannot be foretold. There are infinite amounts of potentialities within creation, which have the possibility of changing outcomes.
11.) The media and those in power are imparting the Truth.
History has spoken in that regard. There is no one more confused or ignorant of the Truth than those who have been glamorized by society. They are merely people with a higher profile.
12.) There is no way to tell Truth from falsehood.
Today we have the enlightened knowledge and the science to know Truth. This site is dedicated to Absolute Truth.
13.) What we think is our truth, represents Truth.
To paraphrase Socrates…”Man chooses only what he perceives to be the good.” We are born inherently ignorant of Truth, however. Others truths have been instilled in us through teachings which are not always Truth. The capacity to know Truth has come to us in the form of the highest sages of the past and present. The means to tell the difference between Truth and falsehood now exists, thanks to Dr. David R. Hawkins and Consciousness Research.
14.) Whatever we do not see or believe, must not exist.
The linear world is just a tiny part of existence. In actuality, the majority of the totality of all that exists, cannot be seen from the physical realm.
15.) We have to have an opinion or take a stand or a side for or against everything.
That’s just the ego having to be right, or needing to have feelings about everything. When opinions, beliefs and positionalities are put aside, what remains is just what is, without commentary. Everything then becomes the context of all that you see and cannot see, instead of the content, which is within your personal locality (mind). Ego believes it must fix everything or comment about it.
16.) If a person has credentials and appears to be intelligent, they must be telling the Truth.
Credentials do tend to give credibility to people. This is often a show of intelligence and intellectualism. Intellectualizing however, is not Truth, but borders the next level of consciousness which enters the realm of the non-linear. The non-linear is wholly subjective and cannot be proved, so debating facts brings no definitive answer using intelligence alone.
17.) People in high positions or those who have wealth, have more importance by an unspoken hierarchy.
Only in the minds of those who believe that. We are all equally important by virtue of our birth from Divinity. Even the word important is a projection on something. We all just are. The rest is all about the ego.
18.) Animals are dumb.
Anyone who has ever owned an animal knows that is not true. Animals have an innate instinct which allows their survival. They may not have the brain capacity of humans, but an animal lover will always be able to tell you, at higher levels of animal consciousness, they can show and feel love. Animals are a part of nature and as so, a Divine creation. Projecting dumbness on anything is the ego taking a positionality to make itself feel greater.
19.) We are all born innocent.
In a human sense it appears so, but spiritually we come with Karmic inheritance. We do arrive with amnesia, so you could say we are ignorant (or innocent) of that fact and more. We are a clear slate in the material sense, until the programming of our hard drive (ego/mind) occurs. Babies all appear to be innocent, but certain factors will show that from no apparent cause, children will soon show personalities ranging from the highest to the lowest consciousness. This is due to our having a particular level of consciousness at birth.
20.) Once we are dead, that is it.
This may seem silly to some, but there are those who believe dead is dead. All I can say is there is a different side to life and this isn’t all there is. (See my article on Life After Death.)
21.) We look like God.
That’s the ego projecting again. Our ego believes we are the center of the universe, so to speak, so naturally the belief is we look like our creator. I would suppose then, God would be a superman of sorts. God is An Infinitely Powerful Field of Knowledge and Love. (See my articles on God.)
22.) There is something we have to do or remember while we’re here.
I have written about this also. We have free will to do or be anything. It may be scary to some, but that scenario plays itself out on the evening news everyday. Due to human ignorance and ego, most of the world has no fear about not being good__only about not being right. Our levels of consciousness set our personal priorities about how we live out this life. What we witness is the fact that the majority of the world consciousness doesn’t even think about that.
23.) The Truth will reveal itself if you just sit quietly or meditate.
Being quiet and/or meditating is certainly a good thing to do for spirit, but it has little bearing on changing our positions on things unless we are following an enlightened teaching. Consciousness levels have the most influence on the Self realization of Truth.
24.) “To thine own self be true.”
This is true in a common sense. In a grander sense it is completely false. We are true to our selves every day. The small self, that is. In that way we keep making the same efforts with the same results, as the same situations arise continually. Lifetime after lifetime we return to eliminate negative Karma, as we incur more. When we realize the big Self through the path to enlightenment, we cannot be anything but True.
25.) Disease, famine, and other natural disasters are God’s way of eliminating evil or are tragic.
Any position or opinion we place on an event is merely a viewpoint. Evil is merely a word placed on something which doesn’t fit our personal profile of rightness. Human beings want and need to have a reason behind everything which occurs. The fact that everything is happening of its’ own would not be a reasonable answer to most people, but this is Truth. Creation/evolution* create conditions continually out of the infinite propensities which exist infinitely. Nature just is. Events just are. Enlightenment reveals the unfoldment of everything (without exception) perfectly within Divinity. A natural event (or even a man-made event) is not a disaster until we place that positionality on it. A disease is a natural occurrence of nature, as is the propensity to find a cure. Famine and drought are the natural consequences of locality and conditions. Man-made events are a result of certain levels of consciousness. There are also Karmic considerations which are choices and innate Karmic events (group Karma) occurring over which we have no control.
26.) We control our own destiny.
Destiny/fate does not exist in a linear way, therefore we cannot control it. That would be assuming there is a predetermined course of events, which is under our personal power to regulate. If something were predetermined, we would be powerless to change it anyway. If life were predetermined, free will would be non-existent, and we would be actors in a script written for us. Therefore, foretelling future events is not possible. The potential for future events is infinite due to the infinite number of possibilities, each with an infinite number of potentials to change everything infinitely. In other words, a simple sneeze could change the outcome of something else, etc., ad infinitum. Therefore the future is an unknown. What exists are the conditions under which we set up potentialities and possibilities within our proximate field (the totality of our existence which has manifested within this materiality), reaching out infinitely to The Infinite Field.** Actualizations will then occur on their own, spontaneously. All of this is occurring within our own Karmic “destiny” which is the irresistible, non-linear totality of all that we are from the beginning of time. So, we have is free will within The Field of our infinite Karmic potentialities.
27.) Eliminating evildoers will change/fix everything.
This is more like wishful thinking, rather than a higher way of being. Eliminating that which we don’t like or is harmful, is a tall order since most of the world consciousness calibrates below 200 (courage and the level of integrity). Since the material world is where we get to eliminate negative Karma, being even more rapacious would be adding fuel to the fire, not to mention going a few thousand years backward in karma and evolutionary history. Humans suffer from impatience due to the intrinsic ignorance about existence. When the content of the story becomes more important than the context, the larger view of humanity and consciousness escapes the majority. Our universe is roughly 13 billion years old and is expanding at the speed of light. Humans came in just about a millisecond ago relative to the rest of creation. The ego appeared with the advent of sentience and we witness what has occurred. Karma will be created and undone eternally until consciousness has risen to the point where all is revealed and enlightenment is commonplace. If one wants to save the world, begin within one’s own Self. Until then, we can learn from the words of Ramana Maharshi, “There is no sense in trying to save the world, because the world you see doesn’t even exist.”
28.) To be a higher spiritual being we must do something about injustice and help those less fortunate.
One’s level of consciousness will dictate where they are in regard to being of service. On one level, helpfulness is being of service in the medical field, teaching, science, or industry. On another level there is nothing to do at all, because what is witnessed is everyone’s Karma unfolding, and interference may be furthering Karmic consequences. It is all quite personal to the individual, but it is certainly a good thing to keep one’s own level of consciousness high for the collective. On any level however, there must be discernment regarding how far to take any form of action.
29.) We were created in God’s image.
God (who has many names), is not a human being in the way we prescribe humanness onto Him. Although God is also referred to by gender (i.e. Him), God is genderless. God is an Infinitely Powerful Field of Intelligence and Love with unearthly attributes far beyond our comprehension. Humans love to see God as we see ourselves, but that is merely the ego projecting.
* I merge creation and evolution because they are not separate entities. As Dr. Hawkins says, “Creation and evolution are one and the same.” To separate the two for the purposes of debate is another continuing illusion of the ego. Creation is infinitely occurring, as is evolution (and at the speed of light). Instilled doctrine will keep the argument going indefinitely, however.
**The Fields we exist within are determined by levels of consciousness. Higher states of consciousness are inclusive of higher probabilities of what we call the miraculous, or Divine intervention. Therefore, what appear to be opportunities miraculously presenting themselves are a result of what we are, or are Karmically related.
