Part 5: Facts, truth & Truth

Understanding the basic components of any framework

This article is part of the Unified Consciousness Framework series. To gain the maximum benefit from reading this series it would be wise to read them sequentially.

I am generally opposed to creating separations and distinctions that may result in an over-complication of language within the framework. As was stated previously, throughout this framework specific phrases have been used that refer to the same ‘thing’. Additionally, certain concepts have been crossed with other concepts from different systems. This has all been done in order to help the reader become more aware of the frameworks in which they operate and, by doing so, also become aware of those frameworks’ limitations. Looking at a number of different frameworks also helps us to become aware of what a framework actually is by triangulating the characteristics and attributes which are a part of them all.

At the same time though, there is a certain practical element that exists which relates to how the reader interacts with the framework that needs to be accepted. It is because of this that, in some cases, the specificity of language will have a significant impact on helping the reader to develop and clear their perception. It is for this reason that this section has specifically been created, which creates a distinction between a few words and concepts that will commonly be used throughout the framework so that the differences between them can become more apparent. To this end, it is here that we create a distinction between facts, truth and Truth, so that we can discuss these as separate phenomena.

This is more important than ever in today’s world, as the general meaning of these words has become almost synonymous. We typically see them being used interchangeably on a day-to-day basis, yet nothing could be farther from the truth. There are fundamental differences between facts, truth and Truth and, if we are not aware of what these differences are, our ability to clear our perception will become limited. In other words, using these words synonymously would result in an individual developing certain blocks in their perception and, specifically with regards to the subject matter of the framework, these blocks in conscious perception would result in the reader struggling to arrive at a clear perception of ‘things’.

Truth

First, we begin with the easiest of the three words to look at, which is Truth. It is the easiest to differentiate from the other two but perhaps the most difficult to define. For the purposes of this work Truth, denoted specifically with a capital T, is the word which refers to the aspect of reality which is beyond definition. In many respects it is what the seeker is searching for; to come in direct contact with this Truth. From our perspective, we are required to denote it as something when trying to discuss it, but the denotation used for it can never encompass it, it may only ever approach to it. Consequently, it does not really matter what word we use, but it does serve some purpose to use the word ‘Truth’. The reasons for this may become apparent further down the line.
