Hi Louis,

Truth has to be dealt with in a very different way that we deal with 
other concepts.  Like you said, it is not possible to intellectualize 
or define absolute Truth.   We can always have it in our 
consciousness, but always as "That which is."

We will be dealing with that Truth once we start to comparing our set 
of beliefs or what we consider true, with absolute Truth.  We know 
our beliefs, we all have them, but we don't know absolute Truth. 
However we can keep the spirit of Truth in the back of our 
consciousness and keep comparing it to our beliefs.  There is no 
doubt that once we start acting this way, our beliefs will start 
reflecting that spirit of Truth that never changes.  At that point 
our beliefs will start to change and mold themselves to that absolute 
Truth, even though we can't see it, it is everywhere.  Because no 
matter what our beliefs are, they don't matter at all when we compare 
them to Truth.

Don't you agree?

Rudy
