The greatest use of life is to spend it for something that will outlast it. — William James (1842-1910) Philosopher
There is some confusion about how to be True to what. We know we have our own subjective realities; beliefs and experiences we may or may not share with others. But if (or since) one of those Others is the source and center of all reality, there is an Objective reality. Being finite we are on a journey toward this Light. A personal choice to align with the objective will not get us there all at once, but will ensure us the opportunity to head in the right direction. As we learn and grow we will Flourish spiritually.
Peace,
Jim
