Volatile Avidity

Knowing is the result of experiencing truth directly. The result of deciding against denial. The only acceptable reproduction of truth. Truth that claims to be truth is not truth, but merely a perspective of truth. Truth must be experienced directly. Believing is an act of will, an agreement in the soul. An acceptance of a reproduction of a reproduction of truth. A stepping stone temporarily serving as knowledge. Non-truth that claims to be non-truth is aligned with truth. But non-truth that hides between expressions of truth is the corruption that grows beside truth as a strangling vine. Spirit recognizes truth as one remembers a forgotten fact. It cannot be persuaded against truth as the soul can. Instead, it yearns to free truth from all confusion and deception.

Denial reveals an interesting truth. Adopting a new perspective can pose such a daunting task that one's rational mind surrenders by choosing ignorance. However, one need not engage the chaos as an enemy if one realizes that a change in perspective is not a sudden leap into battle. It can instead be a dance between the spirit and the soul, wherein the soul patiently revisits past perspectives, and the spirit illuminates old shadows therein.
