Many years ago, a teacher shared
that there are basically two truths:
1. Piscean Age = One absolute Truth
2. Aquarian Age = Truth is Relative to Perspective
There are many different cultures and cosmological systems that articulate the transition from one age of consciousness to another age. The evolution of consciousness includes an evolution to our relationship with truth.
One can study the evolution of western consciousness through the rising and falling of western civilizations through history, mythology, and art. According to one of many schools of thought, the seeds of western consciousness were planted in Ancient Ancient India, then Ancient Persia; Ancient Mesopotamia/Babylon and into Ancient Egypt; Ancient Greece to the Renaissance and into the present day and age. It's a vast body of study, and one that endlessly fascinates me to no end.
There are different streams of astrological and spiritual thought regarding the transitioning into the Aquarian Age, in terms of when exactly we made the transition from the Age of Pisces to Age of Aquarius. Most folks who speak of such things say that we are currently in the Aquarian Age, which has a very different relationship to truth than the Piscean Age (which began some 2000 years ago).
I think it is safe to say that over the course of history, there have been civilizations and systems within those civilizations that have demanded the absolute blind adherence to truth/Truth. If we look at the nature of truth in times of old, it was far more severe, in terms of the consequences to not abiding by the Truths decreed by Kings or rulers, the people as a collective voice, or Priests and Hierophants.
We are living in an age in which we have an astounding level of freedom to believe what we wish to believe, to align with this or that truth, to cancel truths, to reform truths, to kill truths, to make new truths, and to embark on grand adventures towards freedom of truth. We still see the ways in which truth is shoved down the throat, and truth is still something that has the power to kill. There is still an enormous amount of sifting and sorting to be done, especially with the Internet being a source of finding truth (but what is the source of truth really?) It is kind of mind blowing with the internet, especially, that we can see before us, revealed dozens, hundreds, thousands, millions billions of truthlines. And also with the development of A1 and computer generated images and information, we will start to see many more false truths pretending to be true. Put your seat belts on. Full speed ahead, systems go! Truth is the name of the game.
If a thousand people had the same dream and looked at it, there would be 1,000 truths about what the dream means. If a thousand people looked at a fairytale and tried to interpret it, there would also be 1,000 truths or partial truths and partial lies. In terms of dreams and fairytales there is still so much space for mystery and leaving some corners untouched for wonder. Letβs not kill everything with the truth about what this or that means.
