Witch-doctors and seers of various kinds may be intuitively skilled and in touch with the rhythms of Nature; but they have no love of Truth. To them, myths are not merely myths, but actuality. This brings me to the next major misconception I wish to deal with, which concerns the problem of mistaking symbols for reality itself.
B. The misconception regarding "aspects" of the Truth.
There are not different levels of knowing or explaining Truth, though there are certainly different aspects to both knowing the Truth and to explaining it. If there are any "levels" of truth at all, there is the level of untruth, and the level of truth - no more.
If one knows the underlying Substance of Truth, then one will see all its aspects quite automatically. It is impossible to be aware of only one, or several aspects of Truth, without being fully able to appreciate them all. Therefore, if someone claims to have realized an aspect of the Truth, but is unaware of all the ways of God, then they are not seeing an aspect at all, but a false construct of the imagination. Once you know fully about a whale, you will also know how it will appear from the countless different angles.
