What is Truth?

Akhenaten, Nefertiti and their children under the Aton

Here we are alive and breathing without knowing why or how. This is a very interesting point for me.

No human being has ever made the decision to exist. Nobody knows why they exists, nobody knows what was before and what comes after this existence.

Of course we can speculate we did choose to exist, but still we're just using this mind and the ability to think and imagine to speculate, it is never the Truth. We can also speculate by looking at what was before us, rocks, fossils. Or by studying other life forms, or the outside emptiness of Space. We also try to anticipate the future by imagining or calculating odds and probabilities.

Prometheus Rising

Prometheus observing Athena giving reason to his creation, Man

Excerpt from Robert Anton Wilson's book "Prometheus Rising" chapter seven:

"(...) Most of what we perceive in the human environment is made up of concretized ideas. Look again at a human community; you are seeing the historical human mind manifesting itself.

All ideas are not equally good, of course.

All manifested ideas (human creations in the biosphere) are, therefore, not equally good.
