Truth: Ideas require application

it too much to obtain things we might not even be ready to obtain.

Many of our current problems in the world have come from applying incomplete knowledge, and thinking it was the whole truth using it to obtain things we want now. And we have not been ready to obtain, and to manage most of these new things. Sure they seem useful at first, but usually unnecessarily useful. And so we have problems now, with our health and our planet, that perhaps would not have come about, if we had waited until we had a greater understanding of the full picture of what we were trying to do. And so we could have grasped and understood the consequences of our actions better first, before taking these actions for immediate gain and short-term benefits.

After all, would we have been able to travel to the moon without a good grasp of the truths involved. We would never risk doing this unless we were sure that we had most of the truths and knowledge already uncovered. And we could never have done this until we understand and recognise that we indeed have these truths that enable us to act on them in a way where the outcomes can be favourable, because the risks have been reduced to a minimum by our understanding of how these truths operate. This was why the outcome was favourable, and it would be a good idea to apply this level of caution to all of our lives. Never act on half baked truths as the results will be half baked meals, that could end up poisoning us all.

You can create problems because when you apply less that the whole truth, you are injecting also a part of your own ego, and so thinking indirectly that you have completed the half a truth with your own knowledge. You know a little, and then think you know the lot. This is a recipe for disaster. What you need to do is to learn and apply truths slowly, and allow them to build on each other, and to allow truth to test itself as truth. If you don't do this, rather building your false ideas and wants, that are usually based on other than the truth, onto the truth, you will find yourself moving away from real truth to the shadow of truth.

The real and only way to apply truth is to begin to apply it now, but not to try to enlarge or embellish it with anything less than itself.

Truth must be allowed to grow itself, and truth is never dead and complete. As we all grow we grow in our truth, and in overall truth, so that then we can all apply this truth for ourselves, and for the overall benefit of us all.

The mistake is only to take a
