Excellent article! I am convinced that the key to understanding it to start with fundamental truths, which are principles, that are self evident, like truth is that which is true. Our natural tendency to sense that there is something higher than ourself steps from that principle. In the statement, Truth is true, the word Truth refers to the abstract, which is "something higher" and in fact infinite.

This is a long response and might be better as my own article about #GodIsTruthItself, but I'm just writing as it comes to me, for practice.

We have to start with individual bits of truth, i.e. things that are true, and drink them in like milk for our infant mind. We use them to develop our minds and the ability to think, which turns into the ability to see and hear the reflections of our thoughts. As long as we are true to ourself; as long as we only project words that reflect the truth, it is easy for us to face the truth. When we do, we can see and recognize ourself (our Conscience) as the one we hear, as the source of the voices in our mind. However, if our mind gets cluttered with unproven and especially untrue information, it becomes hard to see through the fog. It is as if those images and voices are coming from someone else, i.e. a god of some sort. I can imagine how that would be frightening. When someone else tells us it is God, and then tells us how we are supposed to think about it our mind gets even more cluttered with unproven, untrue and often warped interpretations.

At some point, we reach the fullness of our time. We come of age and our consciousness (the dynamic part that thinks) projects outward to the 'mirror.' Out there, we hear the source of the voice calling from the center of our known universe, where all the bits of truth have remained firmly rooted in truth itself, which never changes. If we don't resist, our consciousness turns to face the light of truth. That is when we literally and figuratively "see the light." However, fear would make us resist and even refuse this "calling." That is why we absolutely must have faith in Truth itself. That is much easier than having faith in some artificial picture of God, who you were taught to fear.

I had this kind of experience and have learned to understand in principle by using a model similar to the ones we use in physics that are based on the law of conservation of energy. Truth can neither be created nor destroyed, but only changed in form. It is conserved because it is simply exchanged between one form (which is static and unchanging) and the other (which is dynamic) and serves a purpose by serving the "higher" form bits of information that we actually experience in life. It's just like serving it food.

The center that we feed is not God, the absolute, but our Conscience or our Christ consciousness. It is the exact same story that we are told in the gospels, that supposedly actually happened, when the "son of man" was born, etc. ("Son of man" tells me that mankind, who we read about in the Old Testament, collectively played the role of serving him until he was born of Mary.) Our Conscience plays the role of the infant that is conceived by the Holy Spirit, which happens in our first turning, when we are first able to choose between truths from untruths. If we follow the example of the virgin mother and choose to accept truth, then follow Jesus as the way, the truth and the life, our Spirit will be born in the fullness of our time.
