RE: Revelation Is Horror - Why We Run From Truth More Than Ever - The Wisdom of H.P. Lovecraft

in #psychology7 years ago (edited)

I dont believe in "negativity". No one can say anything negative, because a negative comment is really no comment at all. What you mean to say is a comment that causes bad feelings to arise, but that doesnt mean the comment is untrue. That is what is important. Is the comment true? Are some people so ignorant that it is working against them? I believe so. We are increasingly falling into virtual realities, into an outthereness, and falling away from self awareness.

Some people may feel bad, but thats how the truth works. Just because people dont like how the information feels, doesnt mean it shouldnt be expressed. We live in a world of increasing and ever ingeniously contrived comforting lies, and the truth needs to be said in anyway it can. It can actually be as foreceful as it wants, and it doesnt need to dress itself up because people may not like how it feels. There is no time for that.

So unless its veracity is in question, there is never a justified argument against expressed observations. We need that shit more than ever. Let the feelings flow. Truth bombs are the only bombs that have good collateral damage. And good medicine rarely tastes pleasant.

Well whatever one wants to call it, when was the last time you approached a stranger and got anywhere by mentioning something he doesn't like.
His natural reaction would be one out of two things, ie. all of the things you think you re trying to achieve by telling the so-called truth, will not achieve anything.

Telling people the truth only works when you know the truth and unfortunately none of us do, so no point policing the world with a self-made up ruleset.

What is the endgoal just words? Are we really solving this issue by talking eachother straight or should we put our pens down and show people life can be different by action of our own hands.

Like I said, only very few things work in this world. Forgiving, good intent, friendship, love to name a few. Those are made up words just like everything else but we feel what is meant by them and we know the universe connects with these feelings.

That's what I figured out in 38 years of roaming on this planet 😄

Fuck peoples feelings if they dont like the truth. And unlike you seem here, like another "new age" type who believes that "no one can know truth", I actually know some things. Yes, I know some things for sure, without a doubt. It is possible for men to know the truth of matters.

I also know that our capacity for speech is divine, and that reality is vastly spoken into existence. Words matter. They literally matter, as they vibrate. I know what speech can do, as Ive seen it deliver heart attacks, implant memories, re-animate memories, hypnotize, turn people into violent maniacs and creative lovers.

You ask "when was the last time you approached a stranger and got anywhere by mentioning something he doesn't like."?

Who cares? Am I trying to get something? Or am I just doing my duty in helping align those around me to the truth of the matter at hand. I speak truth not to get something in return. I just know its the right thing to do, even as painful as it may be to others, and as lonely a road it will be for me.

Ive been hitting on women my whole life, and I know that I can get further with them by lying and exaggerating things. I used to be a person who was concerned with "getting somewhere", but now Iam more concerned with being somewhere, in alignment with the truth, wherever it is.

I dont know it all, but I know some things. I know the truth of some matters, and if I sense that I am in a place where people are lacking an important truth that I have, I will share it. I dont care how they feel after, because nearly every important truth I ever discovered came at the uncomfortable destruction of my own illusions.

I am not really a new age type of person, or atleast I think I am not,it is a little too easy to put everyone in a certain bracket based on what they say. This is what could happen when your brain wants to write down truths and by being observant you can be biased into thinking somebody is the way you think he is, because you know things.

I actually like this sharing of info with you so please don't think I am trying to counter everything you say, I mostly agree with what u say. I also mention things to people when they perhaps don't like it, but I do also overthink the consequences of my behaviour and what the outcome of my actions could be.
so-called truth is often very subjective and based on your environment, upbringing and how you got out of bed on any random day.

It could be true that my way of thinking is "new age" but I haven't studied enough to know what new age encompasses as I see no benefit in it,
Most people on earth haven't got the time to figure out what is truth instead they worry about living and providing for primary needs, truth is not that important it seems as life continous without it.

I am simply trying to do what I think works best for everyone, admittedly I fail every day to be my best self. At least I think I am, but how do I know for sure.
I am not saying you shouldn't share truths or the stuff that you know, but there are more ways to skin a cat. Tactical ways to share a message.
Or do we always have to be blunt about it?
You can call someone ignorant, but like you said words vibrate, perhaps you could have found a better word to make your message vibrate.
Maybe I misunderstand what you are trying to do here, I will read your posts again, I do find it fascinating as I believe you are onto something.
But how do you distinguish between speaking your mind versus speaking the truth. How can you trust a wandering mind to speak truths ever?

You seem to not care about the effect or ripple your behaviour causes, you just do what you think is right. I am not convinced that this is the best way unless you trust yourself enough to know you are right, which is close to impossible as nothing is ever 100% right, you might be highly likely to be right though.
Unfortunately those who explode themselves on busy marketplaces think they know the truth, trying to own the truth seems dangerous sometimes and unnecesary.

Like I said knowing something doesn't mean it is right ever. Half truths, we seem to live in a probabilistic world that allows us to guess what will likely happen or what is likely true, but putting a truth on it, I think is unnecesarily dangerous, Because even the strongest theories will be proven wrong over time.
