Truth Logic Chapter 2
Degenerate truth is the idea that the truth exists in more than one state or form such that several different combinations of micro truths can lead to the same ultimate truth. The micro truths can be considered relative truths. Truth to one person is not necessarily the truth to another person. This way each person can find and reach the ultimate truth by living according to their relative, personal truths. This has potential if truth is a man made concept, but if truth is really ultimate reality, then it goes beyond man and exists regardless of what man considers it to be. In this case only truth is truth, and relative, personal truths are just a false reality. So then if we are all bound within our false realities, how can we ever see the truth? How does one step out of their own world? If I were looking for the ultimate reality, I would be looking for something that is based on a concept beyond mankind’s ability and natural desire. The invented truths will be based on mankind’s understanding, experience, and desire, so we have to look for something outside of that. An interesting thought about truth, is that it must be apparent if sought. Ignorance and bias are blind to truth, but eventually truth is revealed to the earnest seeker.
