    About this ebook

    Seeking Truth motivates a person to find truth. Most of us exist within a psychological illusion of the truth. This illusion of truth exists in a holographic sense. We literally exist within our thoughts. While covered within an analogous shell one filters any new ideas and thoughts through preconceived parameters. In this sense you could hear, see or experience bonafide truth but be unable to accept it as the truth for this reason the scientific method for establishing truth necessitates that an experiment must be performed time and time again with the same results. In common law the truth shall be established by two or more witnesses. May your shell illusion, vaporize. May you see, hear, understand and intuit truth.

      I wish to thank my partner and mother of my youngest daughter for her assistance and input in the content of this book and the countless others who never knew that their insight and opinions helped synchronize and direct my search for Truth

      Introduction

      Truth is a word that is often used to attempt manipulating individuals in a certain direction. For a sales person the alleged Truth is what sells the product. In life itself each individual wants to know the truth. Relationships are built on Truth and destroyed by the lack of it. Positive emotional responses are always associated with finding Truth and the flip side with realizing what you thought was Truth is really not the Truth.

      Sometimes a person will say that they really don’t want to know the Truth. Truth has no tact, still, at some point everyone will want to know the Truth. Truth is not so elusive that one can’t find it. It is not like a rainbow. Whenever you seek the starting point of a rainbow and you finally reach what appeared to be the place of it’s beginning the rainbow will either disappear or will be seen in a different location. This is because a rainbow is not tangible. In that sense it is similar to a mirage. Both are seen as real from a particular point of your perception. In reality a rainbow appears by the refraction of light as the light rays pass through the prisms created by water droplets. Indifferent to the appearance of a rainbow Truth does not disappear when you seek its source. Truth is perpetual, immutable and eternal. Because of these facts, when sought, Truth will be found because it does exist. Truth is never the illusion or the rainbow of your perception. Many professed and supposed truths are only illusions and like the rainbow, when they are sought in depth, they will disappear. Factual Truth is incapable of changing. If what is represented to be Truth does change in some portion then one can be assured that it was not the Truth at all, It was only our perception of an illusion representing itself to be Truth.

      Truth is synonymous with what is represented by this biblical statement; I am the same yesterday, today and forever. I change not. Searching for Truth is an endeavor that becomes never ending. In the long run the time spent will be worth every minute of your multifaceted efforts to continue finding it. This difficult struggle is well defined by this statement from Jeremiah 5:1 (NIV): "If you can find but one person who deals honestly and seeks the truth. I will forgive this city". At this particular time and place, finding an individual who did what was right and sought the truth must have been impossible because Jeremiah goes on to foretell the destruction of Jerusalem. The important issue here is that it is not important to only do what is right, one must also seek the truth.

      You will become excited when you are finding Truth, especially when you are finding out the facts concerning what you previously never acknowledged before. It is important to realize that the Truth you have found is not the end of your search. Truth, once found, is the doorway to further Truth. It is the beginning part of a path that continues leading to Truth. You can never find all of the Truth or contain all of it in one session of discovery. The individual mind that holds that particular gem of Truth should never keep or store it within a mental attitude that is similar to a closed container. The mind must remain open so that any false information that has entered under the disguise of Truth can be exposed by De jure¹ (right and true) truth. De jure is the antonym of De facto². When falsehoods are discovered they must be disposed of so that they will not become a shadow that effects the perception of De jure" Truth. You can believe and envision these concepts just presented herein as you are reading through any of a number of books and documents that have been represented to be true.

      Various statements are always made within these different works to try and convince you that only the truth is being portrayed. Amazingly the frequently used terms and clarifications for books of nonfiction and fiction do not validate, without fail, either side of truth. If you analyze these statements with the proper perspective you can expose the unsubstantiated statements as being nothing more than the author’s viewpoint. Author’s viewpoints should be just that and nothing more. Opinions should never be presented as truth. In opposition to the classification terms used for books an inordinate amount of truth can be found within a fiction book.

      As you begin your search, little by little a foundation of tested and verified truth can be laid. In this book I use some bible verses to help explain certain concepts because many individuals regard the bible as a source of truth. Without departing from the concepts that I am presenting to you, the bible will only be true in regard to how you perceive it. All verses need to be weighed with the equation that I am describing to you. Deuteronomy chapter 13 points out that every new idea, even if it is from those in your own family, needs to be tested by what is already known. Whatever does not adhere to what has been established as truth must be thrown out. Literally speaking, it must be disposed. The Israelites were told that when they entered the land that they were promised they must destroy the people who lived there. The people who lived there practiced, to the Jews, what was considered to be pagan idolatry. Simply put; they worshipped God(s) that were benign to the Jews and did so in ways that were unacceptable to them.

      It took me a while to figure this out. If Israel didn’t destroy them they were told that these people would become a snare to them. For those of you who don’t know what a snare²a is, it is simply, a trap. In your own search for Truth there will appear individuals, precepts and ideas that will become a snare to you. Your search may require that you either dispose of the obstacles and pitfalls or develop a mental plane wherein you are free from their manipulations.

      Building your foundation of truth is extremely important. With it, future ideas, thoughts and new information will be studied and evaluated to determine whether or not they are true. When truths are placed upon a foundation of presumptions and falsehoods the whole building will eventually collapse, even though it may contain many individual truths. This collapse occurs internally. When this analogy is applied to today’s religions one would say that on the exterior they appear to be solid. In this circumstance it is necessary to look at the interior doctrine of the structure to see if the building is, indeed, sound and built on a firm foundation.

      This brief introduction opens up the saga of my search for Truth. I will paint you a picture with words, phrases and concepts that you will be able to see and relate with. It is my hope and intent that by reading this book you will be motivated to start your own saga of Seeking for Truth.

      Chapter one

      Beginning

      Both my wife and I have, in the past, been involved in what people call Born Again Christianity. Prior to this period of time in my life I had been raised in Mormonism. When I turned nineteen. I served as a Mormon missionary in Finland for two and one half years.

      During the time I was a Mormon I had been acutely indoctrinated within the Mormon belief system. There were many years of Primary classes, Sunday school classes and Seminary classes that I attended while at junior high, high school and college. As a result I was very aware of and well acquainted with scripture. However, my comprehension was limited to the Mormon interpretation. During that time I was conditioned to believe in the Mormon perception of Scriptural messages. Therefore, the Truth to me, was a disciplined illusion of what I thought I knew.

      While growing up in this religion I was taught not to engage myself in any study that was not backed and supported by the Mormon authorities. Even today, Mormons do not want to read anything that might have in it anti-Mormon statements or sentiment. It is an installed fear that causes members to believe that if you even look at any alternative view points you could loose your faith. These psychological barricades and the resultant lack of knowledge are key factors in keeping Mormons committed to what they believe. To put it bluntly, they are scared to death to venture outside of their own realm of beliefs. Of course, if you asked any one of them about this, most of them would casually
