Is it possible to find reality without the help of another? Logically the
answer must be yes. Which can be confirmed by knowing there was a first-time
that reality was found, or any other thing for that matter. The fact that there
was a first-time for everything demonstrates that much can be achieved without
someone guiding the way. Though we must admit things are much easier when good
directions or examples are on offer. And this brings us to bad examples and
untrue things, which we are surrounded by daily. The truth about untrue things
is that they lack that certain something that is found in true things. It is
detectable. And while it is a bit like a smell or a sound, it is a different
innate sense, not tied to material reality. But again, it is like smelling
something burning in the kitchen, or hearing a cracked bell ring. There is no
denying these things when they have been detected. And while we are born with
the senses I have used as examples, the ability to sense untrue things is a
sense that must be developed. It might be said that to develop this sense
belief must be overcome and mastered. Believing in things is a roadblock that
has been trained into us all in the modern era. After all, much of modern
schooling is about belief and memorization, not critical thinking. If one
begins to question and carefully consider things, this is where the ability to
detect untrue things begins. And I apologize for the over-use of the word
“things”, but I think you get the point I am trying to make. I suspect there
was a time when most adults had the ability to detect falsehood. I think it
could also be said this ability is partially a spiritual ability. It is also
based on freewill, if you chose to use it. So, I ask, is belief the truly enemy
of knowing? When all is said and done, only you can choose to accept the
“things” that you choose to accept. In the same way, if you choose not to write
your own story, it will be written for you. This is why it is critical to be
able to detect the ring of truth. Truly, the bell tolls for thee. Maybe this is
a good place to close with an old lyric.
Beautiful dreamer, wake unto me,
Starlight and dewdrops are waiting for thee;
Sounds of the rude world, heard in the day,
Lulled by the moonlight have all passed away
