even though it might be 'pandora's box' it IS a fact that we cannot deny.. Truth is experiential not a Belief System.. in this world where everything is prone to change.. including our 'selves'.. how can our 'truth' be the same.. something that takes us on paths untraversed.. compelling.. like a maze that feels fresh and new at every turn.. and we try to 'walk' our way through an 'answer' that we ourselves seek.. yes, everything in the PHYSICAL world is prone to change.. and yet in the SPIRITUAL most 'truths' should remain constant.. but if 'truth' is 'personal' and each one of us belongs to the physical plane.. then does that make the spiritual truths 'experiential' too.. if there had to be a constant, then I wonder sometimes.. why any Saint could not leave a specific 'answer' for the masses.. only pointers and directions.. and myriad paths..
maybe true Saints are unable to express the 'essence' of their Enlightenment.. or 'Truth' behind the mysteries of the Universe.. because it is inexpressible.. can only be experienced by each soul as and when he or she is ready for it.. but it remains a 'hidden' wisdom.. enabling singular power and authority into few hands.. delineating 'truths' as personal decrees.. translating simplicity into a gamut of customs and rituals weighed on the scales of damnation and redemption.. I'm going off at tangents here.. but don't you find it ironical.. that we 'defined' the rules only to have rules 'defining' us..
to get back at truth being experiential and not a belief system.. maybe this chariness of the masses against the 'beliefs' enforced by a handful of religious despots has metamorphosed into the 'new age' thinking of today.. where each tries to find their own truth.. in their own way.. spiritually cautious.. scared.. wary.. defiant.. yet desperately eroding the 'belief system' even for a fleeting glimpse of some truth hidden there..
