It is especially egregious if offered as &#8220;proof&#8221;.<br \/>\nYet,\u00a0as to understanding the meaning of a term, meaning is often understood by simply hearing the\u00a0term used in proper context. Often examples are better than can be communicated from a dictionary definition. If fact, that&#8217;s how most of us learned most of the words we use every day. That&#8217;s also why we can often learn more depth of meaning, if we hear a term used\u00a0in other\u00a0correct but different ways than we usually hear it used.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is True<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I used to work on motorcycles and if\u00a0we replaced the rim on a wheel, and tightened the spokes without any concern for whether we tightened the right ones or how tight we set them,\u00a0the rim would wobble erratically. It would shift from left to right and right to left and sometimes up and down like the bicycle of a circus clown.<\/p>\n<p>Before most people are\u00a0happy with the performance of a newly installed rim, the\u00a0wheel has to\u00a0be &#8220;<strong><em>trued up<\/em><\/strong>&#8220;. If not, most\u00a0would not be happy with the ride experience. When the wheel wobbles erratically, nothing is\u00a0consistent except the consistency of variation from what is\u00a0wanted.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Right and Wrong<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>But first, let&#8217;s talk right and wrong. \u00a0I know, you probably think those terms are subjective. \u00a0Well, Ok; In actuality everything, even in physical reality is subjective. But I digress &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>If you want a wobbly ride, then the wheel is set just &#8220;<strong><em>Right<\/em><\/strong>&#8220;. But for most people, the wheel would be considered setup <strong><em>wrong<\/em><\/strong>. When something that affects your ride is set up <strong><em>wrong<\/em><\/strong>, the experience is undesirable. That is;\u00a0we will usually find the vehicle will\u00a0fail\u00a0to provide us with an experience <em>congruent<\/em> with\u00a0our\u00a0discerned preference.<\/p>\n<p>When your wheel is not <em><strong>true<\/strong><\/em>, your ride is <strong><em>not right<\/em><\/strong>, and you can\u00a0never be sure if when you adjust\u00a0your course with the steering bars,\u00a0if the ride\u00a0will\u00a0take you where you want to go or not. Most of the time an untrue wheel will put you in the ditch with an undesirable\u00a0ride experience.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Truth<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>(Hang in there now, I am about to tell you a more general\u00a0meaning of True and truth as it applies to more than motorcycle wheels).<\/p>\n<p>What did the word true mean in the illustration? Perhaps the\u00a0definition of a true wheel will help.<\/p>\n<p>A true wheel is one that spins at\u00a0a consistent\u00a0distance (radius) \u00a0from it&#8217;s axle, AND in a plane that is at a perfect 90 degree angle to its center\u00a0axle. <strong>When a\u00a0wheel is true, it is congruent with it&#8217;s specification<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">That&#8217;s all true means!<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Truth is the specification. A statement is true when it is congruent with the specification the statement is attempting to describe.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">In the context\u00a0of reality, a\u00a0statement is true\u00a0when it is congruent with the previously identified specification of reality. A statement about reality is true if it conforms to all that is believed true of reality.<\/p>\n<p>Without a specification, nothing is true. \u00a0If we want to change the wheel specification and adjust the wheel\u00a0so it is congruent, the wheel is still true.<\/p>\n<p>If we create the specifications identifying reality by\u00a0stating emotionally charged firm beliefs that are consistent with them, those belief statements establish what is\u00a0truth. If we create our own reality and change some aspects of it, the statements\u00a0describing\u00a0those\u00a0aspects\u00a0are\u00a0TRUTH!<\/p>\n<p>If a circus clown needs a bicycle that hops up and down and wobbles back and forth and provides us that specification, we would only have a true wheel IF, the bike hops up and down and\u00a0wobbles back and forth.<\/p>\n<p>If the clown says the wheel is true and it hops and wobbles, he speaks a truth.<\/p>\n<p>If you say your wheel is true and it goes straight and according to your specification, then you speak the truth.<\/p>\n<p><strong>That&#8217;s the truth<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The above illustration is true, and the statement is truth according to my specification of reality. It is true even if it is not consistent according to your own individual clown\u00a0specification.<\/p>\n<p>My description of truth is consistent and congruent to all I know and\u00a0believe\u00a0of reality. Therefore,\u00a0this definition of truth is\u00a0true one. \u00a0Subjective? Yes, but then everything in all that is, is!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Belief and Reality<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>So,\u00a0what I really want you to understand is, if you make your own reality, then you set your own specification and what is true to it. \u00a0If you set your own specification, you establish what is truth and what is true. You define what is right and wrong as well. Could I also say? If you identify the\u00a0discerned preferences regarding value in your reality, you also define what is\u00a0<strong><em>good and evil<\/em><\/strong> too. I think so, It may just be\u00a0my humble opinion, but I think it agrees with Seth.<\/p>\n<p>QED, even if NOT proven, that&#8217;s MY reality and I am sticking with it!<\/p>\n<p>We need only BelieveIt to RealizeIt<br \/>\nwww.believeit.us<\/p>\n<p><strong>Other Study:<br \/>\n<\/strong><br \/>\n&#8220;On the one hand, quite simply and in a way that you cannot presently understand, &#8212;-&gt; evil does not exist. However, you are obviously confronted with what seem to be quite evil effects.&#8221;<br \/>\nSESSION 568<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Consciousness is not basically built upon those precepts of good and evil that so presently concern you. By inference, neither is a soul. This does not mean that in your system, and in some others, these problems do not exist and that good is not preferable to the evil.
