It's said that at the center of every lie in a kernel of truth. It is my belief that every truth is incased in a shall of lies. Incased, but not trapped. It must be mined, sifted and extracted and eventually, with enough decrement, a precious piece truth is reached.
Human beings are like broken mirrors portraying a distorted reflection of a perfect Truth. Truth being the perception of God. This Truth is what I believe to be objective reality - rather, things as they really are, verses subjective reality which is experienced through our five senses and seen through our inner mental filters that are shaped by our past conditioning.
Although it is possible to perceive objectively we cannot take in the totality of reality and say anything about it; we can only point to some of its characteristics. So whenever we explore reality in any specific manner, we have to leave out something. For example, when you describe an orange, you cannot say anything about its totality. You have to talk about its color or its taste or its shape. If you want your description to encompass the whole thing -- its color, shape, and taste all together -- you can only say, "orange." It's the same with objective reality. If you want to say anything about it, you have to focus on its specific characteristics. Import that idea into the concept of God, and you're in for quite the mind-fuck.
