The search for truth

The search for truth has always been a never-ending quest within mankind. Throughout the history of mankind, religious, philosophical and scientific schools of thought have always arisen in different cultures and civilisations in an attempt to find an answer to the truth of things. However, human beings, instead of finding it, have often fallen into discussions between religious, philosophical and scientific beliefs, in a real labyrinth of theories and concepts. This, as a product of the selfishnessThe most important of which is the pride, the lust for power and so many other subhuman defects that man carries within himself.

Moreover, belief in dogmas and closed theories has often led man to extreme positions, which have only contributed to the fragmentation of society, generating fear of the unknown, discrimination against those who think differently, and violence. And they have given justification to the catastrophic wounds of humanity, such as the religious wars from the crusades that decimated non-Christian cultures and the Holy Inquisition, to the violent religious subjugation of the original peoples of America or Nazism and the Jewish holocaust in the Second World War; slavery; the Ku Kux Klan and African racial discrimination still experienced today. 

 This is because everyone proclaims and defends their own partial and segmented truth, which has more to do with their own circumstances and historical and socio-cultural context than with an absolute and generalised truth.

"TRUTH has nothing to do with time. TRUTH is ATEMPORAL. SELF is time and therefore cannot know TRUTH." Samael Aum Weor. Fundamental Education.

Many Beliefs, One Truth 

"All religions are pearls strung on the golden thread of divinity". Budha

The word Religion comes from the Latin re- ligare which means to re-unite, to reconnect with the spiritual part. It is said that there are seven major religions and more than a million sects around the world. While their religious forms are distinct, each and every one of them fulfils its mission for humanity. And they share the religious principles that are expressed in each of their religions. the holy books that were written to guide humanity to a higher destiny.

Western civilisation ignores the wisdom of minorities; deepening the differences with other cultures; instead of understanding the eternal principles in all of them. 

The truth is within man

"TRUTH is not something still, STATIC, TRUTH is the unknown from MOMENT to MOMENT". Samael Aum Weor

We live in cities with high levels of comfort and technological progress, however, there are high levels of dissatisfaction, because the essential values of man and his ability to enjoy the simple things have been lost. By disconnecting from nature we have lost the meaning of gratitudeThe sense of wonder and sensitivity to life. And so they have also become numb the inner faculties of manbut which, with practice, can be brought up to date again.

In this way, we can find again the authentic wisdom that comes from within the human being, when tired of living all his days without a meaning; by inspiration, he decides to take the reins of his own life and start to know himself from moment to moment, making use of the faculties of consciousness.

How to get closer to the truth

"TRUTH is not a goal to be reached, TRUTH is hidden in the background of every problem of daily life, it is like the SUN, it shines behind the dark clouds of our personal shortcomings". Samael Aum Weor.

Being with all our senses attentive to the here and now allows us to be aware of the moment and to be able to capture the teaching that events bring us.

Concentrating on our heartbeat gives us the possibility to understand our own particular rhythm. Remaining attentive to what we think, feel and act is the key to the  self-knowledge that brings us closer to discovering our own inner truth. 

In short, he who decides to find the truth at every moment and to embody it; he no longer follows theories and dogmas; he no longer listens to his subjective and sensual mind, nor is he driven by his instincts; for the truth gives him all the wisdom he needs to attain The Peace within.

Practice:

"Lie on your bed on your back, relax all the muscles of your body and put your mind in silence, thinking absolutely nothing for thirty minutes on six days of the week. At the same time before falling asleep." Samael Aum Weor. Aztec Christic Magic.
