The Truth Will Set You
Free
We have probably all heard
that the truth will set us free, as it is a well-known statement from the Bible
(mentioned the Gospel of John). However, hardly anyone understands the real
meaning of this very important guideline. Actually, this directive includes two
steps:
1. Discover the
Truth, meaning make sure that you know the whole Truth.
2. Apply the Truth
in your own life, meaning right here and right now.
Step 1. Discovering the Truth
How to distinguish between
true and false? If you cannot tell which is which, then you are hopelessly
lost.
Gullible people assume that
the truth is told to them by the “authority”. This “authority” are then those people whom these gullible people consider to
be their authority. To these gullible
people, authority has become the truth. Due to this mistake, these gullible
people allow themselves to be fooled. Unfooled people
know that only the Truth itself is the only real authority.
This means that discovering
the Truth starts by rejecting any authority else then the Truth itself.
Therefore, genuine truth seekers can and must only rely on their own
discernment in order to distinguish the Truth from any falsehood.
Fortunately, the Truth is
always:
1. Factual
2. Logical
3. Simple
Thanks to these three
distinguishing features, discovering the Truth is possible for anyone who
really wants to discover it. Search, and you will
find! Indeed, that guideline is also in that book.
The next question is then: How badly do you want to know the Truth?
The so-called “truths” offered to you by the self-proclaimed “authorities” are
always ready-made and easy to swallow. However, these fake “truths” lead you to
the opposite of freedom, as these false “truths” detain you in a misleading
perception of reality. As that perceived reality is then to be believed as
real, this prison becomes unperceivable to those who believe in these false
“truths”. In fact, their belief in these false “truths” keeps them captive.
Step 2. Appling the Truth
Applying the Truth is like
building a house. But before you start building your own House of Truth, you
must make sure that its foundation is solid as rock. Actually, that checking of
the foundation is the first step. It is all about validating every single bit
of your own understanding. As long as your understanding is not factual,
logical, and simple, your foundation is still shifty as sand. Also this is
mentioned in the Bible.
Only after you have
discovered the whole truth in the first step, and you thus have found a solid foundation,
then you can start to apply this Truth in this second step, in order to build
your “house”.
My mission is to help
others with taking the first step. I am doing that now for many years. Many of
those who therefore were able to discover the Truth also wanted me to help them
with the second step. However, we can lead a horse to the water (step 1), but
we cannot make it drink (step 2). My services are therefore limited to the
first step only.
Wholly
Science
In order to assist others
in taking the first step, I developed Wholly
Science. Wholly Science explains
the whole Truth about everything in a factual, logical, and simple way.
However, when you have been
“cooking” ready-made meals all you life, preparing even an ordinary dish might
seem rather complicated. The same is true for Wholly Science. In order to understand the Truth as offered to you
via Wholly Science, you first have to
reject everything that is not factual, logical, and simple. It is like
forgetting everything that you know about ready-made meals when you enter a
genuine cooking class. As a matter of fact, the old “truths” are equally
valuable (meaning: worthless).
Lazy people prefer
ready-made meals over self cooking, even if they know that it damages their
health. When you are lazy, Wholly Science
will not help you one bit in becoming truly free. Only when
you are studiously and determined, Wholly
Science can and will assist you in taking the first step.
False Beliefs
The main obstacle for taking
the first step is the false belief that this step has already would have been
taken. I have encountered so many people who have built very impressive houses
of their own truths. However, they never bothered to check first the foundation
before they started building their own way of understanding. When I then try to
point out that they actually built their “house” on “sand” instead of “rock”,
they feel insulted, and then mostly even start to attack me.
Therefore, the
perhaps first question is:
Are you ready for Wholly
Science?
Only after you have
rejected everything that is not factual, logical, and simple, then you are
ready for Wholly Science.
If so, I very much welcome
you the Pateo.nl, the Wholly
Science website.
