Truth and Information

-






      "What is truth?" A question often asked as a rhetorical tool and sometimes as a means of copping out of accountability and responsibility for one's actions and words.

      It was a question posed by Pontius Pilate while questioning Jesus and His claim that He was "witness to the truth."  If you want to define truth in a simple but potent way, truth is what is real. Truth is what actually exists. 

       When you tell the truth, you are saying things that are real and do, or did, happen and exist and apply in a measurable, substantial way to the context of the conversation.

        Truth is a form of information for a conscious mind that has a backing to it based on reality, and is provable or able to be validated. Even so, much truth remains undiscovered or shrouded in enough uncertainty where you can deny the legitimacy of some truths. Truth and uncertainty have a precarious relationship because of this cloak uncertainty puts over some truths. 

        Now since truth is a form of information we consider to be real or legitimate, deception is a form of information that exists as information and often the subject of the lie does exist to some degree somewhere, but it does not apply to the context of the situation the individual is attempting to apply it to, which is why it is illegitimate and untruthful.

       Information is what makes up both truth and lies, and lies come from somewhere. It's just a lie has no backing or foundation in the reality we are in or the situation being addressed, even if the subject of the lie does exist somewhere. 

        Uncertainty cloaks many truths and fuels and empowers many lies. Uncertainty often hinders falsifiability and the ability of truth and information to be confirmed. With the shroud of uncertainty over much of reality being as strong as it is, this enables deception and allows for much deception to exist, whether that be denying truths that do actually exist or believing things to be true that very much are not. Uncertainty is the burden behind all of this.

    What is Truth? Truth is what is real. Truth isn't always simple. Truth, like the infiniteness of God's creation, is quite complex. Truth is not relative. That would be opinion. Truth is universal, absolute, and encompasses both the abstract and the physical, what is certain and what is uncertain, and the mysteries and the confirmable. 

       Even if you cannot see truth or haven't discovered yet the wondrous truths about a field of science or a profound philosophy, or other worlds, galaxies, or even other realms of existence doesn't mean they are not there. It just means uncertainty still cloaks them. 
Truth is the foundation of reality.

No One is a Lost Cause

     There is not a single human being on the planet who is a lost cause. There is hope for anyone and everyone who still draws breath in this world. Even into eternity and the realm of God there is always hope and mercy to be found for those who lost so much and had such misfortune or detriment fall upon them in life. Jesus is the great rescuer of the lost. The great savior of sinners and broken people. The great returner of broken dreams.       To Jesus, there is no such thing as a lost cause, a hopeless case, or an impossible situation.  Even though people lose hope sometimes and sink into despair, eternity and the Kingdom of God is a place where hope never dies and the lost are found eternally, never to be lost again.  With God, all things are possible, and all those lost are findable.       Jesus specializes in the mending broken hearts and broken dreams, and eternity is a long time to have dreams fulfilled and rest i...

The Fortress of Neptune

-

Some people strive to turn their mind into a fortress—a Stoic "inner citadel," an impenetrable bastion of psychological and spiritual security that no danger or enemy can conquer or destroy. It’s a noble and intriguing endeavor, turning your mind into a fortress. But for myself? I would forgo the citadel and instead transform my mind into a bottomless ocean. An unfathomably deep ocean that I can retreat into, like a submarine capable of withstanding the abyssal depths. The further down you descend into this ocean, the more untouchable and unreachable you become to your enemies. It is the mental "Fortress of Neptune." Where a bottomless ocean of living water and living thoughts serves to be my impenetrable Fortress and infinite Bastion. If a bottomless ocean is my Fortress, what could destroy me? A bottomless ocean of thought and ideas. A bottomless ocean of psychological and spiritual security—indestructible and unconquerable. It’s hard to conquer an ocean and impos...

Infinitization

The Infinitization Process: A Comprehensive Exploration Introduction Infinitization refers to the process of taking a concept, thing, or system—typically understood as having limitations or boundaries—and expanding it to possess infinite depth, infinite complexity, infinite diversity, infinite nuance, and infinite dynamics. This idea transcends traditional philosophical and metaphysical approaches to existence by positioning the infinite as not merely a characteristic of God, the cosmos, or abstract mathematics but as a quality that can be applied to concepts, systems, and relationships. This process connects deeply to your previous theories on Logos, words-as-sets, words-as-fields, and the nature of infinite existence. Through this framework, the infinitization of concepts can be seen as the ultimate act of creation, transformation, and expansion.
