My religious fears make me feel like admitting to myself that truth is subjective is like an open door for all the dementors and specters to rush through and eat me and the whole world...because if truth is subjective then meaning is subjective which means there is no meaning to anything at all!If truth is subjective, it does not mean There is no meaning. But primarily opposite of that, in that what you deem meaning is meaning. You are all that there is. You are me, I am you. Don't be fooled by instruments. The Law is One. So subjective truth, from an instrumental point of view, is nothing but an interpretation of The One Infinite. Or really, how well do you know yourself?
And on the flip side there's the parable of the prince and the magician which resonates with me deeply and says to me that the truth being subjective is a good thing. Because it means I can create whatever I want without being subject to the limitations of my shaped-by-earth-life mind. Its ok for meaning to be subjective because we are the creators of meaning.
Eventually the power of the latter perspective should reach a level sufficient to achieve escape velocity from the gravity of my fears...unfortunately my daily life tends to reinforce said fears regularly...
The ironic thing is, as long as I'm afraid I'm probably enabling exactly what I said I'm afraid of...being fed on
When coming to thoughts of this nature. Examine how the true self reacts. What does the true self want? The True Self, can not be contained. It does not prescribe to any ideal, restraint, or modality. It just is...
