Filtered Truth
All of our truths are filtered truths. Some are grounded in more concrete, scientific [for now!] laws, and others are a result of culture, beliefs, values, norms, and religion. How hard do you hold on to your truths? It's a very delicate shift from white knuckles to bloody ones.
Some roguish conversation questions:
- Is filtered truth a good thing or a limiting thing?
- What are we afraid of that is keeping us from evolving spiritually? Or is evolving spiritually taking away from absolute truth?
- Does God have many voices or just one on earth?
- Are the filters we all have necessary to our connection to God or are they inhibiting a greater experience of God?
- What part of our spiritual path does intuition play?

Is There Universal Truth? Unthinkable!
- How has religion screwed up the planet and the human race? Is it intentional manipulation of the masses or just misguided adherence to mythology?
