Deep dives
Philosophy vs. Truth
Philosophy is often seen as a mental construct that seeks to explain the nature of reality and existence, relying heavily on abstract theories and beliefs. In contrast, truth is described as a direct and undeniable experience, accessible only through personal awareness. Great thinkers and enlightened beings typically transcend philosophical debates, emphasizing the importance of experiencing reality rather than getting lost in conceptual frameworks. This distinction highlights that while the mind engages with philosophical ideas, true understanding comes from an introspective exploration of one’s consciousness.
