Words have no relation to the Truth, man.

Words are the only things that have a relation to truth.

Religious people want to believe so badly they will ignore scientific evidence, reason, common sense and their own better judgment. Religions have perverted the meaning of the word "truth". The Websters Dictionary definition below says what the word means:

truth: being in accord with fact or reality

Many things religious people say they believe are not in accord with fact or reality. They are myths, superstition, hope, not truth. To say it is truth is being dishonest.

The real truth unites people; it does not divide them. It makes sense, and it applies to everyone, everywhere, all of the time. It creates clarity, not confusion. The truth leads to real equality, freedom, peace, love and understanding. The real truth only asks you to believe in something you can check for yourself.

Anyone who cares about the truth enough to check what it is will know the truth. Those who do not care enough will be lost and deserve to be lost.

Monkey see, monkey do:
Most people just tell people what they have been told the truth is. They just accept what others say the truth is, especially if it is what people have been accepting as the truth for thousands of years. It is monkey see, monkey do. Second-hand truth should not be believed or repeated without checking it out for yourself. The age of playing follow the leader is ending now.

Second-hand truth is called hearsay in a court of law, and it is not admissible for an important reason; it has proven not to be a dependable source of the truth.

What could be more irresponsible than saying something is true without knowing beyond a reasonable doubt that it is true? Billions of people are doing it.

Do not believe what anyone says, including me; check things for yourself. You have to see the truth yourself in life itself to know it.

You are at what could be the end of a very long and difficult quest. You now have the opportunity to complete the quest and leave the animal realm forever.

The only real difference between mankind and all other animals is our ability to reason and think. Thus, our minds have to be what we have to use to evolve further. We have to use what we evolved that set us apart from all other animals.

Dead to life: Jesus has really been misinterpreted when it comes to death. When he says things like “you will not taste death,” he is not talking about physical death. Everyone has to taste physical death, even him, so he could not mean that. He is talking about spiritual death. He is saying we are all dead to life.

The resurrection: The story of the resurrection is a metaphor which shows we must all rise from our dead selves to know the truth and the life. The problem is that people are too dead to life to know they are dead to life.

People are too unconscious to know that they are unconscious.

They are too closed-minded to know that they are closed-minded.

They are too asleep to know that they are asleep.

The famous miracle of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead is a good example of a saying that has been completely distorted and misinterpreted.

Jesus said, “Our friend Lazarus is fallen asleep, but I go, that I may awaken him out of sleep.” John 11:11

That is what the Bible says. He is saying that Lazarus is just asleep. If he was dead and Jesus was going to bring him back to life, he would not have said it.

Why would Jesus say Lazarus is just asleep if he was really dead?

The myth that Lazarus was physically dead and that Jesus brought him back to life was created by people misinterpreting what he actually said and meant. The Lazarus story is a good example of how Jesus can say something profound and true, but it can be totally distorted and turned into a miracle myth.

The big sleep: It does not seem like much of a miracle to just wake someone up from sleep. The interpreter did not understand what Jesus was talking about. He did not realize that people are living in a state of waking sleep, a living death.

Jesus said, "I have come so that you might have life, for the way of mortals is a living death." Jesus is clearly saying that mankind is spiritually dead.

No one actually came back from the dead; that is impossible, but awaking from the state of waking sleep is possible. You just need the ultimate truth to do it.

If you believe in the accepted interpretation of the Bible, you are asleep.

Jesus said, “When you make the two one, you will be called sons of men.”

Getting your mind out of the way and reuniting your spirit with the spirit of God/life is another way you make the two one. There are many ways, but this is the biggie.

When you know the truth, your mind turns off, and you are fulfilled no matter what is happening in your environment, even when you are experiencing physical pain.

Mind disease: Our overbearing minds are like a disease, and like many diseases, it makes us feel bad. The mind, by separating us from true life, does not let us feel nearly as good as we should. The mind prevents us from being unified with life.

We just need a large dose of the truth to cure it and eradicate it from the earth, but we are doing the opposite, and we are doing things that just make us more sick.

This book is not meant to be entertaining, a good read like most books. It is meant to transform people from unfulfilled, mortal animals into completely fulfilled, immortal spiritual beings. It makes all of life entertaining forever.

How a medicine tastes doesn’t matter; it is what it does that saves your life. Mankind has a very contagious form of a sleeping sickness. The truth is the cure, but at first, it does not taste as good as fantasy, so no one is taking it.

"The way: You just have to do one thing; learn to recognize what is true (life) and what is not true (mind). Then give your life to just what is true. If you do this, the false illusions of the mind will no longer control your life, and you will be free. Think about it until you understand the truth completely, and then just do what the truth dictates."

You are not your mind. Consciousness/spirit/soul is what you are. You are immortal, because it is impossible to be conscious of being unconscious (see page 2 of The Present). You mind is not immortal; it can be destroyed by a brain injury, disease, and death. That tells you they are separate for certain. Have you ever seen someone that has been in a bad car accident? They can be fully conscious, but not be able to think or know anything. People in vegetative states that are not unconscious prove the mind can be destroyed without consciousness or your essential self being affected. What about a newborn baby? They are fully conscious, without a thinking mind.

When you see the truth, everything becomes obvious and self-evident. The question is, why is it so difficult to see and express the truth clearly now?

Something has to be hiding the truth and life and hiding itself.

Why do we have so much trouble seeing the true nature of our lives? It should be the most obvious thing there is. Why do people have so many different opinions and beliefs about what the ultimate truth is when it should be self-evident?

We all live in the same world; why does everyone see it differently? The truth is just what it looks like it is. The problem is, people cannot see clearly.

Your inner environment: This is your environment from your skin in, from your senses in. This environment is where your mind lives. It is between life and your spiritual-self. The mind is the closest thing to you. The mind is so close to your spirit that most people do not realize that they are two separate things. The mind creates the illusion that it is the spirit.

Sixth sense: People do have a sixth sense; their own mind. You have the sense of sight, hearing, smell, touch, taste and mind. Your mind is like a sense, because your consciousness, or spiritual-self, senses/experiences the mind’s thoughts, emotions and feelings the same way it does light, sounds, sensations, scents and tastes.

The mind is blocking what God is creating with what it is creating.

You receive the input from your mind the same way you receive input from your five life senses, but what the mind creates is not real; it is not God’s world.

Word/life: Your five life senses sense life. Your mind produces and sends you things that do not come from life; it sends you things it makes up itself. It creates and sends you emotions, desires, thoughts, guilt, fears and worries etc.

Your mind blocks most of the life coming to you, and what it does not block, it converts into words, the mental code for life. Your mind attempts to reduce all life to words, mental pictures, abstract thoughts, or bites of data. Example: your sense of sight sees a rose. Instead of coming to you directly as all that a rose really is, it is turned into the word “rose.” It is then disregarded or filed away as a memory without letting you experience it.

Editing your life: If you have seen something before, your mind does not consider it important to see it again, and does not let you see it; it edits your life. When you see a rose through the mind, you do not see it as it truly is. Your mind does this with everything, unless it perceives it as new, special, or dangerous. By reducing real things to words or thoughts, they can be processed in your mind. A real thing cannot be. We are paying a high price for this; we pay with our life.

It was necessary in the past to be able to process life this way to help us get control of an unknown and dangerous world. It is no longer necessary to do it most of the time, but people still do it all the time anyway. It is like a bad habit.

All of this is going on between your spiritual-self and life. It is the reason why people cannot see the truth and experience true life.

We paid a high price to get where we are now. The time has come to stop giving all our life to our minds. To do it, you just have to see things like you are seeing them for the first time. It is that simple, but you have to know the truth to do it.
