The Journey To Find the Absolute Truth
Truth. The ultimate, absolute truth, can not be explained. It can only be experienced. You can judge your spiritual experience by your emotions. By how you feel.
By probing with our emotions we become aware of certain things we either influence directly or indirectly.
What you believe true is true, though it may not be the absolute truth. And now realized that there is an absolute truth, that governs everything.
Today we come to know some of these things -- the natural laws: laws of gravity, electro-magnetics, light, sound, and more. And found that if we bend these laws certain adverse effects or conditions happen. So, we learn to abide by the laws and learn how to work with it in harmony, now we have electrical lights, electrical powered engines, ships, and the like. We have improve our probing process and call it science. We have science to help us find more of these laws. By probing with theories and hypothesis to established facts (consideration of truth, until proven otherwise) and used these facts to build our stable data (theorems and axioms and scientific theory or scientific method) to arrived at the absolute truth.
So that we can live in harmony and peacefully with our surroundings. And our progress will be smooth, fast and steady. And we can see today how science has helped us in many ways. It has help us improve our conditions for the better. And more importantly it has helped us realized that facts we consider to be true today may not yet be the absolute truth, no matter how we build and based these truths. (see scientific theory)
We can see many facts we consider may not be true. Such as the world is flat. Consider 
this public letter "Thoughts on Flash" of Steve Jobs of Apple, on facts about flash and why it is not supported in iPhones, iPods and iPads. Consider what you considered factual before and after reading it. Here's one article about Egg and Cholesterol - "Cholesterol and Eggs: How Many Eggs Can You Eat Per Day?". Here is more: "Top Ten Scientific Facts: Evolution is False and Impossible", "Top 10 Fascinating Facts That Are Wrong", "False Facts You Thought Were True", "Bad Science and False Facts". I believe there are more just by goolgling. My question is, how do you consider what is fact or what is truth?Thanks to science we can continue probing our statements of facts (results from scientific studies and the like) till we arrived at the absolute truth. Or discard and continue if necessary; consider this "Science and Scientists".
And we realize that our interaction with other people around us is governed by certain 
laws or principles that science can not yet give us absolute answers, although we instinctively know the answers are just around us to perceive. And we come to know understand and realized these principles exists. So we keep on and found things we can appreciate. Our libraries today are filled with books in several viewpoints conveying some of these principles. Principles of communication, business, human relationships, about creating wealth and many more. About our origins? We are just beginning to comprehend.
At one point in time man had these principles already in his heart and mind. That 
whatever he does was always in accord and in harmony and prospers. Because these principles are in his heart and mind. Along the timeline man lost these principles and is no longer in the heart of man.But the principles that governed us all are still there.
We live day by day blinded by our cares and worries. We consider valuable. We pursue these things by the wisdom we have gained. In the process we discover that somethings we do work and some things do not.
I did not care about such things myself, at one point in time, in my life.
And even if we do not care we always come at a crossroad at some point in our lives and come to a realization that interests, happiness, joy, love, health, peace, harmony, serenity, wealth, enthusiasm can be had or experience by doing certain things in certain ways.
This realization is just the beginning of what is now called spiritual awakening. For once we were blind but now we begin to see there is light. And our journey to finding the truth, the absolute truth now begins.
The scientific method is among the greatest achievements of man. And it has clearly served man well. Today we are in the chasm of material things and the spiritual realm and the scientific method is not against or biased method to find answers we can build upon.
Spiritual experience is hard to explain or can not be explained; only experienced. How do you consider what is spiritually true?

Truth of the matter: Scientific Fact?
What one believed to be true is true. So, truth is relative. Like reality. It depends on who believes. And again, education and upbringing plays an important role in one's beliefs. It encompasses the material world and the spiritual realm. "True Lies".But there is an Absolute Truth. In the material world absolute truth is established in the principles known as Natural Laws. And the spiritual realm is governed with love, faith and hope.
And so about Fraud. What one believed to be fraud is fraud. Until proven otherwise. False Truth?.
Allow me to be your spiritual guide for a moment to imagine that you are innocent. You do not know fraud. Now, let's begin. As you continue to read, start to imagine. Everything about you, is just true and perfect and you begin to give them a name and call them one by one by name, as a master; the objects you perceive: touch, see, hear, smell, taste and you have established for yourself your own facts for the material world. You now call, reality, for yourself. And then you realize these things have their own certain peculiar characteristics and behave and responds to different stimulus in certain peculiar ways. You then make judgments, considerations, decisions and conclusions you simply call facts. These then you call some truths about the nature of these things and build your data.
First, you have established facts for yourself about these things in order to relate yourself with these things then you probe these facts and found out the true nature of these things and found how these things behave in certain ways, to finally found the natural laws about these things. The absolute truth. Thus, build your stable data.
You also conclude that there may be more to be gained and learned more from these things than what has already been found.
And you begin to realize that things behave in certain ways and in harmony about other things around them. And realize that there is a natural order of things. We now call natural laws.
Then, you begin to move further and explore yourself. And you come to know your desires. There are things you want. There are things you need. And things you can not live without. In the same way you probe on these things to find the natural behaviour of these things and how you respond to these things in certain ways. To find the absolute truth.
Continue to imagine, you are still innocent. You are made perfect. Everything you do is perfect, and in accord and in harmony around things about you.
You continue to look around you and you see different kinds of animals and you find yourself alone and you begin to gather that there is more to living than just having all these things around you though in harmony. You begin to enter the chasm between the material and spiritual realm. You begin to investigate your feelings. You recognized interest, cheerfulness, enthusiasm, love, joy, happiness, peace and serenity.
You look up to the sky, to the open space and you begin to wonder what is up there. You soar up there and you feel free. As a bird. You look and wonder around, and have this eerie feeling that some eyes are looking at you. You look around and do not see anything. You close your eyes and feel the presence of somebody bigger than you. Bigger than life and holding you up. And you just know He is in charge of everything.
You shed tears with these realization. You linger for a moment on this warm feeling of love, warmth and comfort. Wipe your tears and look at the world below. You see familiar faces and a warm tingly feeling warming you up.
As you continue to look at these faces you begin to understand some parts of yourself. You recognize the look of love, respect, need, warm friendship and brotherly love. And linger for a moment on these feeling. Before you return to the present time. You look around you to check and account your present surroundings. You listen and observe how you feel. Now you are satisfied you are back at present time.
What you have just envisioned in that brief moment could be facts or absolute truth. Depending on what kind of data you have -- facts. These are considerations -- things you consider. We make considerations in the absence of absolute truth from stable data. We use our stable data to make correct choices, decisions, judgments, conclusions and considerations we call facts and build more facts on it till we have stable data.
We realized for the most part we have build our facts on the material world. We call scientific fact. Which may or may not be absolute truth. And we have to, in order to move on. We have tamed gravity, electricity and now we are beginning to discover quantum physics and more. In the spiritual world we have not yet, though we try to use science to help us with. We call Psychology and Psychiatry and for the most part of it, we are successful in reducing man to a matter rather than a whole being, a living soul, a spiritual being. For the most part of it, though we do not intend to ignore them, they are ignored, so it seemed. By continuing to build on whatever facts we have gathered just so we can moved on. And we moved with the flow not knowing where it leads. Is it because it cannot be explained? As it is said, it can only be experienced. A few though, have awakened and strive to wake up others to see the light.

Action
"And a man is as sick as he will not act. That makes sense to you, doesn't it? He's as sick as he won't act, and he's as mediumly sick as he'll think about it.
"His feeling about action should be such that his computation is taken for granted and the action is sure, competent and certain. He says to himself, 'Act!' and he acts. And he acts with good sense, with a good estimation of effort, with good placement of his force and so on. He acts."
— L. Ron Hubbard
Excerpted from the lecture Illusion Processing and Therapy delivered in November 1952.
This lecture can be found in Volume 12 of the Research & Discovery Series on page 281.
Spiritual Awakening
The World is experiencing a massive, collective spiritual awakening. Evidenced by changes in laws & governments to be more open and friendly towards global integration. Encouraging personal empowerment.
Governments that continue to be restrictive tends to become stagnant and risk falling behind in all areas of human progress: In economics (the more obvious), education, information technology, wellness, entrepreneurship, group dynamics and social networking and social media, spirituality and spiritual awareness or consciousness.
Never in the history of man was information readily available in one's finger tips at a push of several buttons and keys in a computer keyboard, than today and is freely and readily available.
Man's hunger and thirst for truth has set the momentum at a growing and increasing pace. To find the truth and set man free. As it has been said: "The truth shall set you free."
The collective consciousness of humankind is awakening to the absolute truth.
Will man embrace the truth?
