Law of One and Fundamentalism

[Brandon Gwinn]

I think paradoxes exist to humble us so that we rely not so much on grasping with the mind, but on the opening of our hearts. One relevant example of this is how most of us come to the deduction that there can only be one objective truth to reality (which, while being embodied by the universe, is transcendent to our subjective understanding), but we each have our own unique beliefs which are "Truth" to us. So Truth is both one and many- a paradox. It's kind of like if I buy a car from the lot, whether it's new or used, it's still "new" to me. I think this is why the Gospel of Phillip says, "Truth is one and many, for our sakes, to teach us about the one, in love, through the many."
