Spirituality Information: Absolute Truth vs. Relative Truth

From Spirituality Information: Who Are You?,
A regular column by an Alumbo member, Feb 14, 2008         

Our spiritual growth is continually asking us to define our spiritual truths. The spirituality information that we bring forth to serve us in this quest takes us to two aspects of “truth.” There is Absolute Truth and there is Relative Truth. Which of these “truths” serves us in being the best person we can be?

How can we “be what serves us” if we don't know what serves us? We live in a universe of relativity that allows us to compare a concept against something a concept is not and thereby experience it. We can only experience the concept of hot by viewing it in relation to something that hot is not. Something we call cold. Hot and cold are the polar opposites of a spectrum that we know of as temperature.

We define everything in the physical universe as being somewhere in the spectrum of polar opposites. In other words, somewhere in the spectrum of Relative Truths.

In the realm of the absolute, God is the all of everything and love is what God is. So in the realm of the absolute, love is all there is. That is Absolute Truth.

The only love that God knows in the realm of the absolute is unconditional love. That is pure love and it is an omnipresent love. When God created the physical universe of relativity, he understood that in order for God to experience unconditional love he would have to bring into being its polar opposite. The opposite of love is fear.

So love and fear are the dominating polar opposites of everything in the physical universe of relativity. This dominating duo affects every aspect of life in the physical universe because these two dominating forces are what influence every thought that we ever have. Every thought that comes to us and every thought that leaves us is either a thought based in love or a thought based in fear.

It is critical for the awakening person to understand this fundamental truth: Every thought that goes through our heads is either a love-based thought or a fear-based thought.

Say Ah-haaaaa!!!

Now the absolute ultimate truth is that every thought is based in love because, just like God, love is all there is. But this is an absolute truth and we are not talking about the absolute here, we are talking about the relative truth of the physical universe. The relative truth tells us that we cannot know the absolute truth without comparing it to the opposite of the absolute truth. Once again, the opposite of the all-pervasive love of all that is, is fear.

One day you may reach a level of being where you choose to drop all fear-based thinking and live your life totally within a belief system of love. If this were your choice you would experience life in an entirely different manner than the manner in which most people experience life in the world we live in today.

Your life, and the world we live in, would be the antithesis of everything we have come to accept in life as normal. Your physical appearance and the physical nature of your environment would not change, but your perception of how you view the world would change completely.

You would begin to see your own life change dramatically as you begin the process of dropping your fear-based thinking. As you start to evolve into a love based paradigm of life you begin to notice the beauty and awesomeness of nature that surrounds you and has always surrounded you. Your observation of nature is entirely different when viewed from a love-based existence rather than from a fear based existence. Fear based living allows you to keep adding the obscuring filters of fear that eventually get to a point where you become blinded to the beauty that is intrinsic to your nature.

What we begin to see here is that life is a process. We are on an endless journey to create an eternity of experiences that allow us to view love from all of its different perspectives. That, my friends, is the absolute truth.

All of life is a process of viewing Unconditional Love from all of its infinite perspectives. Wow! Think about that for the rest of the day.
