Points of View

Any two opposing views, which must tautologically remain “points of view” however “well founded,” are points of view on the ultimate Truth, which, even though hidden, nevertheless exists.   Darwinism and Creationism are examples fresh in the public forum of the times of two points of view on a common reality – because that common truth remains hidden, opposition and conflict ensue.  Were the truth to be seen, the underlying foundation of being, there could be no conflict.  Only the apathetic and bruised cynicism of the ego-mind keeps that truth from view.  

The ultimate nature of one’s own being, which some call Soul, must exist within the living reality of that ultimate truth – this is true according to all the great sages throughout time (e.g. Socrates, Pythagoras, Heraclitus, Rumi, Hafiz, Kabir, Nanak, Sawan Singh, Soami Ji, Milarepa, etc.).  Socrates himself proclaimed, All truth resides in the soul.

“The soul… when perfect and fully winged she soars upward, and orders the whole world…
…every soul of man has in the way of nature beheld true being; this was the condition of her passing into the form of man. But all souls do not easily recall the things of the other world; they may have seen them for a short time only, or they may have been unfortunate in their earthly lot, and, having had their hearts turned to unrighteousness through some corrupting influence, they may have lost the memory of the holy things which once they saw.”  -Socrates, Phaedrus
