Facts are not the same as truths

There are times where the astrology of a given moment in time is so literal, it’s almost as though the letters printed on the parchment of an ancient tome leapt straight off and came to life. There are times in life where a nanosecond is all it takes for a moment to become definitive and will be documented in the history books of the future.

What do we do in the meantime? That time between the defining moment and the attempt to make sense of it all and its impact on the future? 

There are the facts of the matter. You can entertain yourself over on the former Twitter as “experts” lend their analysis and their opinions. Some of these you’ll agree with, some of them you won’t and some, if you are willing to pierce the veil of reality, will prompt you to ask questions of truth.

Then, at some stage, the truth will be revealed. There will be the “official” truth, i.e., the one we are told to accept. Then there is the eternal truth. 

The facts and the truth are not the same thing. When the facts surrender to the eternal truth, then, it is, indeed, true.
