Discerning Truth

God is personal. We cannot convey from one to another the truth, depth, or understanding of our experience of Him. His significance resides within. For those who have experienced His presence, God’s existence is conscientiously undeniable. And proof of His existence is wholly unnecessary.

America is not yours, mine, or theirs; it belongs to us all; Black, White, Brown, Asian, all the colors of the world. Its diversity has been, and is its strength!

We experience together, only one reality. The reality in which we live! It is where we are born, where we live, and where we die. It is all we have; and has become, what we have made of it.

Each of us is capable of effecting great help, and of causing great harm. Whether motivated by action or inaction, altruism or selfishness, we are all consciously dual of nature, and agents of our determination.

Beliefs about God are commonplace. But are so diverse, they differ, even among those who share the same views or religion. We use the word, God, so loosely, that it no longer describes or identifies a particular being, but has evolved into a generic term for the word, Deity, which is why, when talking to another person about God, we should first, define what we mean.

The Divine Law holds that Good and Evil are not separate entities, but opposing aspects of a single identity. Duality! Like the two sides of a coin, one does not exist, without the presence of the other.

Whether the belief system is personal, tribal; a social philosophy; or a dominant world religion, they all have one thing in common. None can show testable and provable evidence that support the claims they make, about their god, or gods.

Some religions teach that we should fear God. But fear of God is not of God, but of religion itself.

The Beyond The Rituals podcast is an introduction to the Philosophy of the Divine Law. Each week we will present one or more of philosophy's core concepts to show you how applying its guidance can help humanity to address the problems of social instability.

Our subject this week: One of the foundational pillars of the Philosophy of the Divine Law: How to discern Truth.
