Delusion • Common misconceptions • Regarding "aspects" of the Truth   19 / 25

One must work from the bottom up, rather than the top down. Only by understanding the underlying Substance can one understand its aspects. Chaos, randomness, and chance, are together one aspect of reality, and determinism, fatalism, and causation, are another. If one cannot see both angles clearly, one cannot therefore know the reality underneath.

The idea of "aspects" is just another blockade to protect us from the demands of Truth. We say we cannot know truth, other than through its aspects, and conclude that we should not criticize the views of others, as they might be viewing reality from another aspect . . . those cowardly words again! . . . "might" and "aspects". It is because you have no courageous faith in reason that you do not know the Truth. And because you do not know the Truth, you have no confidence to think or do anything decisively. Thus you hide yourself behind your petty "no ultimate truth", and will not come out to help others with a harsh word, even if they were dying in front of you.
