Universal Questions: What is Universal Truth?

Broadly speaking there are two types of Truth. The objective, or Universal Truth and the subjective, or Supposed Truth.

Universal Truth is more than just a mere Fact.

A Fact IS certainly the Truth, but the Truth does not necessarily have to be a Fact.

Universal Truth can be a self-evident axiom or it can be a universally accepted consensus of opinion. It must be grounded in reality and be supported by reasoned and justifiable logic.

Supposed Truth can not be proven, nor dis-proven for that matter, and there may never be a consensus of opinion regarding it.
Some Truths can be very much open to interpretation. Being impossible to prove, many Supposed Truths manifest as Faith in an often religious Belief System. These Truths can only be considered as possible answers to the Universal Questions that intrigue us all. We may still find the answers to some of them but most will remain unknown and unprovable.

When considering a Supposed Truth, you have to ask – is it plausible or implausible? The greater the probability of a Supposed Truth the more likely it is to be True in the Universal sense.

If something doesn’t Make Sense then it is probably NOT the Truth so can only be described as a Supposed one, and a doubtful one at that.

If there is NO Doubt however, not even a Shadow of a Doubt, then it probably IS the Truth and might even be considered a Universal Truth if the consensus of opinion is overwhelming.

Universal Questions: Am I Real and is the REST of the World?

These are the nagging thoughts niggling at the back of all true Agnostic Minds:

Am I Real? … (Good Question!)

I Think there-fore I Am! – But what if I DON’T Think that I am? (What if – what now?)

Am I Actual or am I Virtual. (Who can say – but ask yourself this… Does it matter? … No! Reality, Actuality and Virtuality… it’s all relative – LIFE goes on regardless!)

Am I the ONLY thing that IS Real? (Probably Not!)

Or am I the only thing that is NOT? (Probably Not!)

Can I even truly “Know” if I am Real… or that anything else IS? (No!)

Can I really “Know” anything? (Probably Not!)

Or Can I simply “Know” nothing? (Probably So!)

If I Believe that I am Real does that make it so? (No!)

What if I Believe that I’m not Real? – Does that make it so? (No!)

So why does it matter WHAT I BELIEVE? (It does NOT!)
