WHAT IS TRUE ?
WHAT IS TRUE ABOUT YOU?
Start out wrong, one must end up wrong: gardening, drafting, teaching, child rearing; just as well say wrong in anything.
A lying start, a false start is a first scratch. Such early errors do equal bad ends, penalties .
Lies, myths, misinformation, miseducation, all sedulously require culture’s continuous maintenance. The truth can stand on its own even if it is crusted, overlain by centuries of debris, dirt, disinformation.
Fortunately people have potential to be turned around from all wrong beginnings, based on lies, myths, disinformation. But, it takes a clean environment conducive to the spirit of truth and a person willing to hear and abide by the truth. It takes both.
This spirit is called revival, renewal, and it is personal, philosophical, sociological in its sweep, gathering and scattering as it goes, flows, grows . A new earth rises by reason of a revived spirit of truth therein, thereon, thereof. Therefore, begin to learn what is true about you, then about all that you can. This effort will be blessed by the divine primordial spirit of creation whose sacred polyphony you will have accessed.
Amen.
