55. Because some Truths are Absolute, it is a proof that God exists.

Enlightenment with Rishi Atma Bodha

This kernel of truth opens the door to limitless possibilities of Excellence.

Science agrees in truths such as gravity and the laws of thermodynamics. The same principles can be applied to philosophy.

In other words, science recognizes certain laws or truths as more accurate than other concepts. For example, someone might say that the earth is flat and fervently hold on to that subjective belief. However, science refutes this with provable certainty that the earth is round.

Thus, it can be established that there are certain irrefutable natural laws on this physical plane, whereas some subjective assumptions have no basis in science. Therefore, not all truths about this material world are equal.

Logically then, it can also be asserted that not all spiritual philosophies are rooted from a foundation of truth. In other words, not all philosophies are equal. Some philosophies are superior to others.

Therefore, it is wise to acknowledge that a greater Truth does exist. To say otherwise is to oppose science.

Many books of wisdom proclaim that what happens on the Earthly realm is not an origin, but an effect that ripples down from the higher planes of existence. Therefore, if some truths on Earth are superior to some people's deluded ideas, then the same must also be true about spiritual philosophy.

Any teacher can tell you that some minds have an easier time learning than others. People have attempted to quantify intelligence in the form of various IQ tests. These tests prove that intelligence is not equally distributed, and some minds are provably more intelligent.

So then, to define God, and prove its existence, we must look to the extremes. To use intelligence, as an example, if humans can be intelligent, just imagine the depths of intelligence that the Ultimate has. It is very easy to define the extremes of excellence. You can take any valued characteristic and there is the purest and most powerful example of this embodied in the highest Absolute truth.

Whether it's charisma, personal magnetism, determination, power, intelligence, compassion, empathy, unlimitedness, all-pervasiveness, love and inspiration, the ultimate of all of these exists as an independent conscious entity that is connected to all living things and more.

Socrates and Plato hinted of this in their Theory of Forms. For every object on Earth, there is an ideal version of this in the heavens that we can only approximate. Just as an artist may have a perfectly pristine concept of his next work of art visualized, inevitably the end creation will fall short of the envisioned ideal.

Such is why there are so many imperfections that people can experience living life as a human. However, our lives become more perfect the more we harmonize ourselves with the Cosmic ideal.

The more excellent our ideal, the more profound becomes our purpose.

The point of these writings, podcasts and videos are to highlight a philosophy that doesn't limit anyone. In asserting this, then there also is the conclusion that some philosophies do limit or disempower individuality more than others. Is it wrong to want everyone to have the most individually empowering philosophy possible? This is the only intent behind these podcasts and videos, to help inspire and enlighten the world.
