our parents lead us into truth

into truth

for we lead our children into truth,

and all roads lead into truth

“Truth,” reflected through Ruburt, becomes in a way new truth, for it is perceived uniquely, (as it would be for each individual who perceived it). It is not less truth or more truth in those terms. It becomes new truth.

(10:24.) Truth is all of these seemingly distinct, separate, different realities. So Ruburt is a part of the truth he perceives, and each of you are part of the truths that you perceive.

Now: Such “new truths” can still be very ancient indeed, but truth is not a thing that must always have the same appearance, shape, form, or dimension. Those who persist, therefore, in shielding their truths from questions threaten to destroy the validity of their knowledge.

[...] (Pause.) You cannot use “truth.” [...] Whoever thinks he is manipulating truth is manipulating himself. You are truth. [...]

And I know that truth speaks to more than intellect, and there is a higher truth than intellectual truth, though intellectual truth is important and it can lead you in the right direction. [...] In many cases intellectual truth follows intuitive truth. [...]

Now, there is no reason why truth should not be joyful, there is no reason why truth cannot play tricks, even with noses. And note to our friend, Ruburt—there is no reason why truth must necessarily be given in high intellectual tones. [...] Truth does not follow a single line. [...]

[...] And through those cracks you find your own escape and your own freedom and your own ways to truth. [...]

The one thing that I want you to understand and that I try to tell is that information—truth—can only be given to you through the medium of human consciousness. [...]

[...] And because you do not understand the truths and have not reached or understood the connections, it does not mean that the truths do not exist. [...]

[...] Then how do you think you can understand the nature of reality if you do not make an attempt to see the truths that are within yourself? Then why do you expect other truths to be given to you? [...]

[...] You realize that the child must understand the truths. You explain the truths as you know them, the best that you can. [...]

[...] You must look within yourself and then apply these truths and learn from them. [...]

On the other hand, he becomes upset if people cannot make truth work in literal terms. He is very touchy on that point, and yet he becomes very angry if people try to make truth too practical. Why can’t truth make people want to live? Why can’t truth be used as a prescription? [...]

Truth is not like a specific prescription. [...] He loves the pursuit of truth for its own sake, and the pursuit of truth is basically a playful creative endeavor, in which children indulge all the time.

[...] But truth involves insights of a most peculiar kind, for they cannot indeed be truly specified, and the more specific you try to make them the more you distort them, or the more you dilute their original power. [...] You cannot force an individual to live, nor can you force him to die, through the use of the truth. One and one is two—that is a fact in your world, and you can use that fact in millions of ways, but it involves no truth.

[...] That truth is a far more important realization. People can use our books, but the greatest use is a kind of mental, spiritual, and psychic acceleration that allows them to use all of their abilities better—but they must decide how they will use truth.

[...] You leap from truth to truth. Truths are not heavy. [...] Truth keeps you sitting upright in your chairs and the blood pounding in your veins and allows me to come to this room. If you hide behind a tree in a game of hide and seek, then truth is the tree. [...]

[...] They will not betray you, only betray you with truth and that is an honor indeed. [...] Only truth will give you a sense of humor. [...]

[...] Think of the small sphere upon which you have placed yourself and that you form it, the world and everything that you know, from within—and that the truths will come from within and not from without. [...]

[...] You have only to realize that truth is a joyful thing and not to be feared. [...]

In a strange fashion, the dream process in which your dream occurred was truth. The creative energy that fashioned the dream was truth—though the questioning kind of attitude you had in the dream of itself would make truth seem always unavailable.

[...] Intellectually known truths are the goal—truths almost like some exotic product to be attained by man, as man searches through science or religion for ultimate answers.

[...] Truth does not exist on the vertical. [...] This does not mean that truth is unavailable. [...]

[...] For one thing, the dream represented an attitude, of course, that truth was something apart from man, hopefully to be acquired, and definitely involving an ascent.

(After a serious discussion of the search for truth, life after death, religious backgrounds, etc. [...]

[...] You cannot understand or intellectually grasp pure truth. [...]

One part of the self is pure truth. [...]

“Is my body an appearance, hence an untruth amid the truth which is changeless? [...] The body’s untruth, then, is holier than all truths, and if the body is an untruth then I hereby proclaim untruth, and truth and all the gurus’ truths as lies.

(Today we read a long treatise on the “truths” advocated by “holy men” associated with various Eastern religious philosophies — Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, and so forth. [...]

They were these; that the entire world and its organization was kept together by certain stories or one in particular—like the Catholic Church’s; that it was dangerous beyond all knowing to look through the stories or examine them or to look for the truth and that all kinds of taboos existed to keep us from doing this, since.... [...] To seek truth was the most dangerous of well intentioned behavior then.... [...]

[...] The feelings I was getting went even further, that religion or science or whatever weren’t attempts to discover truth—but to escape from doing so, to substitute some satisfying tale or story instead. [...]

The truth, as he interprets it, is no longer the joyful, curious, creative, free search for truth, let it lead where it will; but the idea of a life’s work makes him think “Who’s following me? My truth must be the real truth, for I do not want to lead others astray.”

It keeps him in touch with the powerful portions of his personality that search for truth, out of joy in the activity for the quest itself. [...]

In such a situation, Ruburt thinks of work as work, and finds himself wanting—for a doctor after all heals patients, a lawyer solves cases or whatever, so it seems to Ruburt that his work must—underlined three times—make truth practical, and of course beneficially so. [...]

[...] You cannot understand nor intellectually grasp pure truth. [...]

One part of the self is (underlined) pure truth. [...]

You exist in more dimensions than you know, and your own reality (voice quite a bit louder and stronger) transcends your understanding, and transcends the limitations of your own intellectual knowledge… (pace faster, still fairly loud) these truths must be understood intuitively…. [...]

[...] You cannot understand nor intellectually grasp pure truth. [...]

One part of the self is (underlined) pure truth. [...]

[...] (pace faster, still fairly loud) These truths must be understood intuitively... [...]

[...] It forms its truths into physically oriented data with which the ego can deal. [...] Seeing these truths thus materialized, the ego then finds it easier to accept them.

[...] Each man is born with the yearning to make these truths real for himself, though he sees a great difference between them and the environment in which he lives.

(10:00.) Now these people are chosen by others to manifest outwardly the interior truths that all intuitively know. [...]

The search for truth in the beginning was carried on within the framework of the church. [...]

The search for truth and the fear of leading people astray are the primary points here. [...]

The difference is this: he was not presenting the poetry as truth for people to follow.

[...] He needs to be convinced, and to convince himself, that his work is indeed helping others, in that it is leading toward truth and away from distortion.

[...] But often readers have been afraid to admit publicly that they have found truth in metaphysical sources. [...]

So far, metaphysics has only been entertainment, a step-science of our culture; part of the extended family of science for the purposes of inspiration and ideas, but not given credit as scientific truth. [...]

Scientific truths have always been rewritten through the centuries. [...]

[...] Do not trust those who say, “I have the truth.” For I tell you frankly, truth takes many forms and wears many masks. There is no whole truth to be given you like a package that you can open like a child on your birthday. You can only get glimpses of truth and you can only understand and interpret these glimpses if you trust your inner self and your intuitions. [...]

There is no road to truth. [...] The road to truth is no road, it is a series of steps within yourselves; ever miraculous and ever new. [...]

[...] You will even make your own truths. [...] Truths are not trees that you discover in the forest. [...]

(Gert was asking about conversing with Seth, truth, etc.)

In your physical field, and this limitation is important, in your physical field, truths are often caused by, or are the result of, expectations worked out. Therefore, if you believe for example that excellent artists must be poverty stricken, then this will be a part of your overall expectation framework; and for you it will indeed be, and exist as, a truth.

If another man, for example, does not believe that artistic talent of high degree cannot exist side by side with wealth, then your truth is not his truth, and he is not threatened by wealth, nor is his ability.

As long as you believe this so will your expectations of reality become, in truth, reality. [...]

[...] His framework of personality is now so bound to this nonexistent truth that it would be dangerous for me to tamper with it.

[...] There are many truths you know that you are not aware of. [...]

[...] You cannot afford to play overlong—to hide yourself in trivia—to become so busy that you cannot hear the truth that shouts within you. [...]

[...] Amazingly simple, and a truth we’ve been groping for, I said. [...] Now it was obvious that the involved, even torturous journey involving drugs was a way of arriving at that simple yet profound inner truth. [...]

[...] All of these events followed the barrage of letters I’ve been sending out, trying to unearth something, some treatment, some magical potion or truth or belief that would help my wife in her time of deep need. [...]
