Understanding is greater than truth!!

I am reaching whole new levels now. Thanks to L*o, the guys name I can't even utter, because apparently he's banned here, LOL. Understanding is greater than truth. I love that. I never seem to plateau in my understanding of truth, because my understanding of truth is so decentralized at this point, and because it's so decentralized it's very very powerful, and can adapt to pretty much anything right now at this point. I will pass down this understanding to my kids, kids, kids, kids and so on then I will reincarnate through them if at all possible. It would be like having sex with my beliefs over and over again. Hahahaha Did I just say that. Oh that is too funny. LOL And no I am not on drugs right now.

Do you understand why understanding is greater than truth?

People "know" many things... but most don't "understand" much.

I didn't forget about you's. Well this is what I had in mind. Many people have their truth, fewer have the truth, and even fewer understand. The problem with truth is that people can get dogmatic with it. The word truth is clingy, it has a lot of baggage tied to it. Some of the most dogmatic people claim to know the truth. I am guilty of this. And I still have not overcomed it fully, but I am getting closer because I am starting to understand that crusading and trying to change people's minds doesn't really change people even if you do have the truth. They crucified Jesus. We as a society will naturally gravitate toward a truth when ready. Like a child that is conceived, forcing the child to be born doesn't help anyone and in fact makes things worse. This is why truth is such a bad word to use. People can go online and get facts about a subject, but do they understand, do they really truly understand that subject inside and out. If I told you 6 * 6 = 36 but didn't explain why and how that is then that fact or truth would mean little. But to understand why 6 * 6 = 36 is much more powerful. One may or may not need to understand some truths or facts, but one shouldn't be adamant to know any truth unless they have some first hand experience. And even what I just said is provisional. There is no such thing as foundational truths. The core of reality almost always has exceptions to the general rule of thumb, that is what makes reality and life on earth so diverse, because the heart of reality is decentralized. Nobody has a monopoly on reality or truth. As great as astral projection is I see problems with only doing astral projection for spiritual growth. People are only going to get more and more diverse as time goes by. Reality at its very core is paradoxical, so embrace it. Don't mistake what I am saying for relativism. No relativism is based on the idea that all truths are equal. And that we should get an average from all truths. This is not right. That isn't what I am saying. I am saying that some truths are better than others. And there is no one foundational truth.

Hope that makes sense to you's. Thanks for chiming in bungalow and Xanth.
