If you have an interest in Truth, not just what seems to be true, but in Absolute Objective Truth, then this is the blog for you.  But to lay out the many dimensions of Truth, and the reason it has so effectively evaded generations of philosophers, I must take the reader deep into the Esoteric dimensions within Man.  And to do this we have to invent a number of terms, symbols and concepts... and this is the need for a Glossary.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;GLOSSARY &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;APAPSYCHE:&lt;br /&gt;Consider your &lt;a href="http://about-psychology.com/apapsyche.html"&gt;Apapsyche&lt;/a&gt; as being another name for the "self" in the definition of "psyche", which is often defined as "Self, Soul and Mind".  I coined the term  "Apapsyche" to refer to a special Energy of the Soul that allows the Soul to interact with the physical and MIND realms.  The reason being that the Energy of the Soul is Neutral Spiritual Energy, or NSgy, which is the same Absolute Energy of God.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MIND:&lt;br /&gt;Your &lt;a href="http://about-psychology.com/MIND.html"&gt;MIND&lt;/a&gt; consists of two vibrational realities that are in actuality representative of the Astral and Causal regions of Creation.  These regions are not part of the physical plane, and this is the reason ones brain cannot perceive the energy of ones MIND.  Ones MIND is the local administrator of the Law of &lt;a href="http://karma-reincarnation.blogspot.com/"&gt;Karma&lt;/a&gt;, and your MIND also insures that your whole system adheres to the Fate Karma that you designed for this life.  This of course means that the concept of "reincarnation" is more than just a concept.  Each Soul has as many lifetimes as it might take to fulfill the &lt;a href="http://thepurposeoflife-is.blogspot.com/"&gt;Purpose of Life&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;DM=SI:&lt;br /&gt;The symbol "&lt;a href="http://about-psychology.com/DM-SI.html"&gt;DM=SI&lt;/a&gt;" [Defense Mechanism equals Subtle Insanity].   This symbol stands for the primary defense mechanism of the MIND.  The "SI" or Subtle Insanity part of DM=SI points to the fact that the DM=SI has the ability to cause one to "think" whatever thoughts ones MIND wants one to think... whether these thoughts are true or not true.  If ones brain "thinks" the Delusional Thinking, or D-Think fed to the Left-Hemisphere of ones brain is  true, then one believes it to be true.  Generally speaking, the more Left-Hemisphere oriented one is, the more vulnerable to ones MIND and its control over how one views life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The "LADDER OF LIFE":&lt;br /&gt;The phrase "Ladder of Life" provides an image that most can relate to and it refers to the fact that all Souls that have committed to Life, are perched upon the rungs of this Ladder of Life.  Most people are perched upon the lower rungs of this ladder because they simply have not completed the Karma required to generate the Knowledge and Empathetic Understanding which accumulates as Spiritual Evolution, which determines which rung of this ladder one is perched upon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Intuition:&lt;br /&gt;The faculty of &lt;a href="http://about-psychology.com/intuition.html"&gt;intuition&lt;/a&gt; is an aspect of ones Apapsyche, and the amount of access one has to ones intuition [which is the only way one can access the Esoteric dimensions within oneself] largely depends upon ones Fate Karma for ones present life.  This access to ones intuition also depends upon ones level of Apapsyche which depends upon ones Spiritual Evolution which in turn depends upon how much Karma one has completed.  And all this takes a long, long time over many, many lifetimes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6468585017940348341-1004120063238154324?l=objectivesearch.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://objectivesearch.blogspot.com/feeds/1004120063238154324/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://objectivesearch.blogspot.com/2009/08/introduction-and-glossary.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6468585017940348341/posts/default/1004120063238154324'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6468585017940348341/posts/default/1004120063238154324'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://objectivesearch.blogspot.com/2009/08/introduction-and-glossary.html' title='INTRODUCTION and Glossary'/><author><name>James W.

I also suggested that Absolute Truth does not exist on the physical plane of existence. And this suggests a number of things.... not the least of which is that my suggestion implies that I believe there are planes of existence other than this physical plane.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     I believe the suggestion of other planes of existence implies that I know of these.  The question is how do I know of these?  Have I read about them, or have I actually experienced them?  The answer is that I have read about them and I have experience them.... and so have most of you, but you are not aware of having done so.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Have you ever had a dream?  Were you awake when you had this dream, or were you asleep?  If asleep, then where were you?  [Is this a good place to ask:  "Who are you?"].  Your physical body may have been "asleep", but "you" were not... right?  And here we begin to move into the Esoteric, so some of you may need to abandon this blog at this point?  Because some of you may have a MIND that is  so "protective" [or defensive] that you are not allowed to "see" or "hear" anything that might threaten what your MIND holds hidden within itself.  This phenomenon of "denial"  is known in mental health as "Scotoma" ... at least Fritz Perls, in his book: " In and Out The Garbage Pail",  said that mental health was familiar with this phenomenon. Actually in this blog we will use my symbol for this phenomenon of denial which is: &lt;a href="http://about-psychology.com/DM-SI.html"&gt;DM=SI&lt;/a&gt;.   Have I jumped into the Psychology of Man too quickly?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    My problem is that I perhaps know too much?   I no longer know how to address the  Human Being and not address the Whole of Man.   Unlike most people I suppose,  I find it virtually impossible to view Man in a linear way.  And this is not a problem for me, but it is for those who must try and follow my writing.  And this penchant of the West to view Man in a linear  way [confined to the Left-Hemisphere of the brain] puts a substantial barrier between myself and others relative to meaningful communication.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Have you thought about my question:  "who are you?"  Allow me to expedite our communication by providing the answer.  Your are a Perfect Soul.  And your Soul is composed of "Neutral Spiritual Energy", or the same Energy as that of God.   Can I prove this?  Only if you are capable of intuitively awakening to this fact from within your Apapsyche [Operational Energy of your Soul].   Take you time with what I just said... since it defies comprehension of many in the West.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    In the West, and in America in particular, we are in such denial of the Esoteric two-thirds of Man that most people have no idea who or what they are,  or why they exist?   This blog therefore flies in the face of common thinking, common understanding and common ignorance of the Reality of Life.   And you have a clear choice to make.  To continue this blog with all your faculties in play, or to to close down your faculties except for what your physical eyes can see and the Left-Hemisphere of your brain can process.  If the latter choice is made [regardless whether you realize this choice or not]  you might as well cease exposing yourself to this blog because what this blog offers will be psychologically denied by your MIND.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     Is this last paragraph abrupt, too confronting or demeaning of the brain and its limited capacity?  It was intended to be so... was I successful?    Hardly anyone in the West is aware of the MIND and how powerful it is.  Or how much influence it exercises over ones brain and its thinking.  And people in the West are particularly uninformed relative to how much of Life is Esoteric, and how much of this Esoteric in Life ones MIND prevents from from experiencing due to MIND-level fears.... of which one is unaware.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   A major reason for this lack of understanding can be traced back to B. F. Skinner, and his delusional belief that there is nothing within Man that can "explain present behavior" [this quote from: Evans, Richard I. B.F. Skinner:  The Man and His Ideas. New York: E.P. Dutton &amp;amp; Co., 1968].   Skinner was of course prevented by his own MIND and the fears therein contained from realizing the source of his "thinking".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    That tens of thousands of mental health professionals have been taught to embrace the same Delusional Thinking that Skinner make popular with his "Behaviorism" is unfortunate, but then, it's just the way of Life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Modern mental health is an excellent example of how the MIND of Man can "secretly" prevent Man from becoming aware of the Esoteric two-thirds of Man.   That great numbers of people are ignorant of the Reality of Man does not [at least should not] excuse those who can perceive a higher truth from doing so.  And this returns us to the point of this blog:  In Search of Objective Truth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     Truth does exist within Man who is on this physical plane, but this Truth must be contacted and experienced while one [ones Attn Aspect of &lt;a href="http://about-psychology.com/apapsyche.html"&gt;Apapsyche&lt;/a&gt;] is "within" oneself, because the vibrational Reality of Truth cannot be known outside of oneself.  Does the reader perceive what I have just written... that is, what lies tucked behind the words?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   Unless and until one is capable of accepting the concept, and then experiencing the Reality of the concept that one is capable of entering into subtle planes of Creation within oneself via ones faculty of "&lt;a href="http://about-psychology.com/intuition.html"&gt;intuition&lt;/a&gt;", then one remains either in denial of this concept, or inexperienced in it.   But without an experiential exploration of this concept one remains on the physical plane side of this Esoteric Reality existing within oneself... because the brain is incapable of experiencing the Esoteric dimensions of oneself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    The person who lacks this experiential Knowledge of the Esoteric is justified in his or her disbelief, because he or she is quite ignorant of its Reality.  But for such people to deny others their experience simply due to fear of what to them is "Unknown",   is disgraceful.  For modern mental health to disparage and condemn psychics merely because they [modern mental health professionals] lack the Esoteric skills of the psychics is shameful.  But again, this is Life as usual in contemporary America intensely wedded to the Left-Hemisphere of the brain and thinking our way through life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6468585017940348341-8404638157403627334?l=objectivesearch.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://objectivesearch.blogspot.com/feeds/8404638157403627334/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://objectivesearch.blogspot.com/2009/08/number-2-in-series.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6468585017940348341/posts/default/8404638157403627334'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6468585017940348341/posts/default/8404638157403627334'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://objectivesearch.blogspot.com/2009/08/number-2-in-series.html' title='Number 2 in a series'/><author><name>James W.

Why is this?  The fact is, the physical plane is not the plane where Truth in an Absolute state exists.  And one may argue this, and many do, but the fact remains that a great many things exist on the physical plane, but Truth is not one of them.  At least Truth cannot manifest itself on the physical plane.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;    To explain the reason for this is possible, but it is not in the explaining where the problem exists.  The problem exists in the receiving of the explanation.   If one has never perceived an Absolute Truth, how would one know if what one is being told is an Absolute Truth or not? In other words, how does one judge  an Absolute Truth if one has no experience of an Absolute Truth?  Can Truth be experienced with ones physical senses?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;    I am of course equating an "objective truth" with an Absolute Truth in that I believe that if one experiences an Absolute Truth, this experience provides one a level of objectivity and Knowledge wherein one Knows the Truth in an Absolute sense.  This experience provides one a clear ability to differentiate between lesser truths and the Absolute Truth.  But here again, can what I Know be conveyed ?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;    To zero in on the problem just a bit closer, let us consider what the term "Esoteric" means?  The term Esoteric is an "abstract" term.  The term "abstract" refers to a word or symbol that is created to "stand for" something that ones physical senses cannot perceive.  Is the term "Truth" an Esoteric term?  Does the term Truth [with a capital "T"] simply exist as a sign post pointing to something we believe to exist, but this something that we refer to as Truth is not discoverable using ones physical senses?  If the term Truth is an Esoteric term, and its actual existence cannot be perceived by ones physical senses.... how then is it we even have the concept of Truth?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;    Obvious to me someone at some point in time was able to isolate something that that person believed to be the Truth.  My question is this:  Was what that person discovered the Absolute Truth, or a relatively higher level of truth than what that person was used to experiencing... and that person "assumed" this higher level of truth was an Absolute?  My question of course supposes that truth is such that it exists as levels or various planes of reality.    How do we know if what I suppose is true or not?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;    I believe that what I suggest, that there are levels of truth, or that truth is relative,  is part of the problem with a search for Absolute Truth.  That is, it is not Absolute Truth that eludes discovery, it is the fact that Absolute Truth exists at a level of existence where most people do not operate.    It is in fact like that old story in which we see a person looking for his lost keys under a street light, and when asked where he lost his keys, he points to a field some distance away.  Since it is dark, he reasoned that it was pointless looking in the dark field.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;    Absolute Truth does exist, but who knows where it can be found.... and what if like the man who lost his keys in the dark field, Absolute Truth exists in the dark field of the "Unknown" within Man?  Is Man dissuaded from looking for the Absolute Truth and doesn't even realize this?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;    This is but one of many little known facts I wish to pursue in this series of blogs regarding "in search of an objective Truth".&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6468585017940348341-3288913323648552746?l=objectivesearch.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://objectivesearch.blogspot.com/feeds/3288913323648552746/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://objectivesearch.blogspot.com/2009/08/number-1-in-series.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6468585017940348341/posts/default/3288913323648552746'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6468585017940348341/posts/default/3288913323648552746'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://objectivesearch.blogspot.com/2009/08/number-1-in-series.html' title='Number 1 in a series'/><author><name>James W.
