Where The Truth Lies

Science vs Magic

there are two types of knowledge: the exoteric knowledge that is understood by many, the outer/open knowledge, and the esoteric knowledge that is understood by one or very few, the inner/hidden knowledge). 

Both, the word science, derived from Latin scientia, and the word magic, derived from Persian magia, mean knowledge, however both form a dichotomy, with the science as the open knowledge meant to be shared, understood, and verified by others, while on the opposite end, the magic is hidden, private knowledge that only a magician is a privy to, thus the audience is entertained by the hidden mystery and the unexpected revelation.

The science and magic express two different types of knowledge, the knowledge itself comes from experience, unlike the beliefs which are formed by a 3d party reports.

Truth vs Lies 

The truth is circumstantial, what is true for one is not necessarily true for another, if a wheel spinning between two people, for example, for one the wheel is rotating clockwise while the other sees it revolving counter clockwise. Thus the truth is in the eye of the beholder, so-to-speak.

In the dichotomy with truth, the lie is the intentional distortion of it, implying a conscious awareness of the actual state of the affairs, thus one can be dishonest with oneself about certain realities, for example various habits, etc, and of course, it is one of the Ten Commandments, "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour," with the eleventh of the New Testament, "This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you." 

So there we have it, the consciousness might be asleep, not aware, or in disguise, but the subconsciousness knows full well where and when the truth lies. After all, the name of human species 'homo sapiens' in Latin means wise man. The trick is to distinct the right from wrong, and if mistake is made then learn from it and move along.

i say sometime that i lie all the time, which would make the statement also a lie, but i already know my truth and the others have theirs, some truths are personal and some are shared. Some experiences are unique, rare, or frequent. What is true now for a sick person is not true for a healthy.

Lie is still knowing where the truth is. Once one knows it there is no going back to not knowing, it transforms the whole being -- the truth -- the consciousness knows it and can recognize it amid the lies and half truths. Therefore to lie takes too much energy and yields not much in return, unless of course it is done for good reasons, such as self preservation, or of others, hence the free choice and rational thinking required to make it worth while in the short and in the long run.

Knowledge vs Belief

The true knowledge is rooted in the here and now experience of the immediate reality, the body being the epicentre of it, representing the needs, which is the knowledge, that eventually with experience ferments into wisdom, or one would hope so at least.

The believes, on the other hand, are the third party reports that fill in the rest of the perceived Big Picture about life on earth and the universe, similarly with our own subconsciousness as it fills-in the rest of the information that our conscious mind is not focused on. 

However the third party reports are subject to trust, credibility of the source, which is, again, comes from experience. Some minds communicate with their bodies better than others, one has to conquer oneself, as Buddha said, there lies the truth of the middle way, the Golden Rule, of course one can only know where the middle is by first learning where the boundaries, extremes, opposites, dichotomies are.

Thus, the organised religions use inherent human spirituality, which is based on knowledge of good vs evil, as a cover up for their various nefarious mind-control evil agendas, which is precisely why ALL major religions and political isms are based on the believe system, i.e. a third party reports of events and supposed facts, which is based on trust of the original source and NOT actual, direct knowledge.
