#axioms

Philosophical Farts: A person may believe in a divine reality and not have all the answers to the questions concerning a divine realty (i.e., Why is there evil?) by using axioms guided by the universal law of love or the golden rule (to be continued).

The aspirational axioms which litter social media can be annoying. And most look lousy. A few years back, I just couldn't take it anymore and turned some out. Here are a pithy few.

Spiritual Axioms As Tools for Discernment and Intellectual IntegrityFraming spiritual axioms as guiding principles makes it easier to use them. They provide tools for discernment and intellectual integrity. Truth does not bend to opinion. It does not strengthen because it is repeated. It does not weaken because it is unpopular. It does not transform because it is renamed. Truth remains independent of comfort, fear, or loyalty.

Key Concepts of Spiritual Axioms Embodying Spiritual Values and BeliefsMost people think they are too smart to fall for propaganda, but this isn't true. Many people expose themselves to harmful cultural programming every day. If we understand the key concepts of spiritual axioms, we can spot the tactics used in propaganda and mind control. A mindset is an established routine of thinking.

CLAYTON ESHLEMAN — Altars, (1971)

We firmly agree with Socrates' assertion that seeking the truth is worthwhile, even if the answers you find only uncover what isn't true. When you can determine fact from fiction, you open the door to spiritual freedom. "Most people, including ourselves, live in a world of relative ignorance. We are even comfortable with that ignorance, because it is all we know. When we first start facing truth, the process may be frightening, and many people run back to their old lives. But if you continue to seek the truth, you will eventually be able to handle it better. In fact, you want more! It's true that many people around you now may think you are weird or even a danger to society, but you don't care. Once you've tasted the truth, you won't ever want to go back to being ignorant." — Socrates We can show you twelve simple tools for distinguishing fact from fiction. You won't need advanced knowledge of mathematics or philosophy. The Spiritual Axiom The word axiom comes from the Greek axíōma, which means something worthy or self-evident.
