TRUTH
As far as my limited reasoning tells me I think that there are 3 kinds of truths. There are probably many more that we cannot even hope to comprehend no matter how far science or faith puts us. 1) truth. This represents the subjective human experience. We see this world through our own eyes and no one else can understand it. Human relationship, the need to be with others, is in a way trying to reconcile others truths with that of our own. This is what we live for; this is the purpose of language. 2) Truth. This represents the natural and physical laws that seem to govern us at least within this dimension. For example gravity and all the others “laws” that science has come up with concerning all matter of things: gas laws, math equations, etc. I do not feel that these laws are absolute TRUTH. Yes the principal of universality would appear to show that these laws are universal but only in this frame of mind – scientific method/reasoning and within this cosmos. 3) TRUTH. This would be the absolute truth concerning human nature and existence within this cosmos. I do not feel that in our current mode of being we will ever be able to understand this kind of truth. Now TRUTH is the absolute truth concerning our experience that is not to say it is the absolute truth for the entire cosmos and any ones that are beyond. Perhaps if humans could evolve not necessarily in a physical sense but in a reasoning/thinking sense maybe we could gain a glimpse of this TRUTH, but not the whole thing. Certainly I don’t think faith can bring understanding to this TRUTH. Faith/religion to me is the attempt of truth to imagine/understand TRUTH. Science is not the answer either. Now while science has done much to improve our understanding of truth and Truth I do not feel it will crack TRUTH. Perhaps it can but I think we will most likely end up blowing ourselves up before we can accomplish this. Or our science/religion will in effect trap us within a single framework of thought, this will lead to stagnation. Whereby all thought, all ideas and actions will be carried out in a singular fashion, so that we cannot see beyond it.

I am a nothing dreaming of something unknown.
