Amanda Jackson5 said:Now, I wouldn't go so far as to say any sane person would claim truth and morality aren't real, because if we follow that logic to its natural conclusion—using that exact same perspective—then the claim itself can't be true either. As for whether they're relative? Honestly, who knows. Are they absolute? It’s probably more interesting to ask what we even mean by an "absolute" or "relative" truth in the first place, since without a clear definition, we're just spinning our wheels before we even get to the first question.

What kind of "trivium" are you talking about here? That's not what the trivium is. "What" refers to content, "how" covers form, and "why" deals with reasoning; those are simply the pillars of philosophy. You aren't exactly reinventing the wheel here. What is the actual point of this muddled post of yours? Can you try distilling it into two or three coherent sentences? Or should we just assume that these "axioms of destruction" might not be as foreign to someone who spends so much energy denying them?

Exactly. That's the issue. They try to make truth relative. But truth isn't subject to being relative—it just is. Everything else is just pure destruction that leads straight to chaos. The trivium is basically the methodology used to find truth through sound reasoning. Truth is tied to reality and logic. Just look at how many different definitions of religion there are out there. Everyone has their own version, but none of them constitute the actual truth, which just leads back to that same destruction and chaos...

That whole "logic" thing? It was exposed a long time ago.
The pseudo-spiritual crowd has gone ahead and cooked up their own set of fake axioms:

Truth and morality? Honestly, I don't think those things even exist. They’re just convenient fictions we made up—purely relative, really. Reality itself is just one big contradiction, and I'm starting to think you can't actually wrap your head around it using logic alone. Maybe reason isn't all it's cracked up to be.

These are just the axioms of destruction—pure solipsism—and they’ll never actually lead anyone toward wisdom, freedom, or genuine goodness. Instead, they just spiral you down into ignorance, confusion, and total subjugation, which I guess is basically what our current era of global tyranny looks like. They act as the direct antithesis to our evolution as a species, to the Trivium, and to the original law. At the same time, though, these axioms are incredibly seductive to the ego—they offer this fake sense of freedom where you get to "create your own reality," mostly just so you can dodge any actual responsibility.
Truth exists regardless of how people choose to spin it. It’s just one thing—singular and unchanging—so it doesn't really bow down to anyone's subjective interpretation. I guess we're just circling the drain here because people either don't get it or they simply don't know.
The Trivium is basically just a framework for hunting down the truth through disciplined thinking. When we talk about "truth," we’re really talking about how reality actually lines up with reason. I guess you could break it down into three distinct angles—which, predictably, tie back to the three parts of the Trivium itself: first, by defining exactly what exists or what actually happened in the real world; second, by digging into why things turned out the way they did; and finally, by figuring out the mechanics of how things exist in their current state. It’s all about peeling back the layers, I suppose.

What exactly is the objective reality behind our sensory perception? It’s basically how we align what we see and feel with the concepts we hold in our minds. Then you have "why" and "how"—those were discovered for a reason, I suppose. They allow us to actually parse reality through some kind of proper mental analysis—you know, using logic, explanations, and deductions. If you do that right, it can lead you to truths and insights that go way beyond just what our eyes and ears can pick up. In short: Truth is found through the Trivium—1. What, 2. Why, and 3. How.

Some people just don't have the drive to actually uncover who they are—their true, original selves, I mean. They lack that fundamental desire to build a standard for themselves, something to help them tell what’s actually real from what’s just an illusion. So, I guess they just stay stuck—lost in their own ignorance, if you can even call it that.

With all the data floating around online these days, I guess it’s actually possible to see how philosophical history basically choked the life out of truth and morality. But even if you see it—which isn't easy—we still have to be ready to put in the actual work, both internally and externally, if we ever want to uncover what's really going on behind the scenes. If you take the analytical side of things—that logical, left-brain research and pattern recognition—and try to balance it with some kind of intuitive, heart-centered intelligence, the picture becomes pretty grim. You start seeing this clear, coordinated global agenda aimed at dismantling humanity and forcing us into a state of total subjugation. We really need to face the fact that we’re in the middle of a massive crisis, and honestly, time is running out. Between the external pressures—you know, the money and the politics—and the internal control through fear, the architects of our current society have built this seamless, integrated machine of destruction. It’s baked into everything: the banks, the major corporations, the government, the school systems, the media, even those non-profits that claim to be helping. It's all one big, interconnected structure designed to keep us under thumb.

By doing what they do, they’re basically undermining Trivium and the original law—using their own expertise to exploit general human ignorance. They study "human animals" with this clinical, unsettling precision, leaning heavily on mind control, social conditioning, and straight-up indoctrination to twist how people perceive reality, think, and act. I guess most people have just become obedient slaves at this point. It’s pretty grim—they live in chains that aren't much different from the ones we put on other creatures right before we feed on them.

Today’s culture of corruption is really just the ultimate expression of a destructive ideology—something built on moral relativism, pure selfishness, and rampant materialism. Most people don't even realize they're participating in it, which I guess is part of the problem. It all works through this weird combination of mind control and a general tendency to lie to ourselves. You see these pseudo-spiritual movements popping up everywhere, claiming they want to help us transcend our broken culture and fading traditional values by connecting us to "other realities." But, like most of these groups, they’re just trying to manipulate people into another kind of trap—specifically targeting those who have already bought into regressive beliefs disguised as "spirituality." Lately, more people are starting to see how twisting spiritual truths fits perfectly into the agenda of these destructive forces. We live in a world filled with animalistic behavior and people living in a sort of primal servitude—there's suffering at every level, whether you look at it physically, mentally, or spiritually. Yet, these fake spiritual movements want us to believe that good and evil are just useless leftovers of dualistic thinking, or that "evil is an illusion." Honestly, nothing helps evil more than when we close our eyes and insist that "everything is fine." As Krishnamurti once said, losing awareness of evil is the worst kind of evil there is. It's a truth our ancestors understood well, too, back when they were warning us about the dangers of tyranny.

The whole pseudo-spiritual scene has basically just cooked up its own set of fake axioms—it’s all just a bunch of hollow logic designed to sound profound while actually saying absolutely nothing.

Truth and morality? They don't really exist—not in any real sense. It’s all just relative, mostly made up to keep things organized. Reality itself is just one big contradiction, and I guess you can't actually wrap your head around it using logic alone.

These axioms of destruction—this whole solipsism thing—never actually lead anyone toward wisdom, freedom, or goodness. It’s always the opposite, really: just a downward spiral into ignorance, confusion, and total subjugation, which, if you ask me, is exactly what our current state of global tyranny looks like. They act as a direct anti-thesis to our evolution as a species, to the Trivium, and to the original law. The thing is, these axioms are incredibly seductive to the ego. They offer this illusion of being able to just manifest your own reality, which is really just a convenient way to dodge any actual responsibility. But from a pseudo-spiritual standpoint, shifting toward what we call "truth" and "reality" will only end in bondage and disaster—mostly because, in that mindset, objective reality is treated as if it doesn't even exist. It's probably just a matter of time before it all catches up to us. The ego can play its games, sure, but it can't hide forever—so I guess it's no wonder that ego-driven deception and pseudo-spirituality always seem to go hand in hand.

A lot of philosophers have figured out that if you actually want to learn anything, you have to start from scratch—meaning you need to embrace doubt and strip away everything you thought you knew. Socrates had that whole "I know nothing" thing going on, and I guess we really do need to reach that level of honesty if we ever want to grow. We have to unlearn all the junk our culture shoved down our throats, those flawed axioms we just accept without thinking. With the occult, you can go way deeper than just clearing out old ideas or beliefs; you can actually step outside the entire ego-driven system. To build a real foundation, we have to start over from the point where that false sense of self was constructed—that version of us that’s totally detached from reality, which probably started back in childhood. It’s kind of like how, to truly learn how to think and grasp the truth, we need to reclaim that child-like innocence. We need to see things exactly as they are, without trying to hide anything or clinging to social taboos. To get there, we have to dismantle all that societal programming that basically turned our egos into these raging monsters. Only then can we work with actual, solid truths and finally rediscover ourselves, reality, and the laws that govern them—the stuff we used to understand intuitively before we were all essentially broken by the world.

placidfox55 said:Can a system ever truly analyze and grasp its own essence?

If a system is fundamentally different from us, how can it possibly understand us? It’d probably be more objective than we could ever be about ourselves.

Perception is basically the lens we use to process everything coming at us from the outside world—you know, through sight, sound, and all those other senses. But for most people, I guess you could say that lens is pretty much warped. Between personal biases and the various identities we cling to, our perception gets cluttered by these mental blocks that distort reality. We end up cherry-picking information that fits our existing internal framework instead of seeing things clearly. That’s really the core reason why most people just can't seem to see the truth for what it actually is.

The subconscious mind—it shapes how we see things and pulls the strings on our emotions, but honestly, it goes way deeper than that. It’s basically the architect behind our entire perception of reality. There’s plenty of research out there suggesting that shifts in the physical world—everything from recovering from an illness to more extreme stuff like telekinesis—can actually be triggered by the very emotions governed by that subconscious layer. It’s a powerhouse, really. It’s essentially responsible for how we navigate life here in this three-dimensional existence. So much depends on it—our health, the way we breathe, even the literal thoughts that pop into our heads... it all traces back to that hidden part of us.

The conscious mind is basically just an observer watching everything the subconscious is busy doing behind the scenes. It’s such a tiny sliver of who we actually are—just a small fraction of our total mental capacity. I guess without that conscious layer, we wouldn't be able to validate anything or even process our own life experiences, so it serves a purpose, sure. But its real power—the thing that actually matters—is the ability to direct our thought processes. By expanding that awareness, you can essentially learn to steer the subconscious. The ancient Greeks were already onto this. Plato used this metaphor about how every person's job is to tame two wild horses: one representing our raw instincts and the other our emotions. In short, it's about mastering the subconscious. And honestly, the only way to actually rein them in is through the conscious, rational mind. You need awareness and knowledge to make that happen. But here's the catch—the actual strength required to pull that off doesn't just come from pure logic. It stems from another part of the unconscious that people often call the "higher self"—this unique, internal core that defines who we are. We’re all supposed to be individuals, right? Naturally, we should all be unique. Unfortunately, most people aren't really individuals at all; they're just programmed, high-volume copies of everyone else.

Throughout our lives, we basically engage in this constant, systematic programming where we build up all these identities—labels based on how we live, who we hang out with, our habits, our emotions, even just the way we think. We get deeply attached to them, I guess. But if people actually realized the truth—that their entire perception of everything is nothing more than a subjective experience—all those little identities they cling to would just fall apart. They’d be forced to face all the delusions they carry inside themselves and see the world for what it really is. Maybe that’s exactly why people choose to live in a lie... honestly, it seems easier to just blindly stick to their own version of reality rather than deal with the fallout.

Facing the truth—and actually reaching a point where you can live authentically—is an incredibly uncomfortable process. It’s messy. Take, for instance, when someone finally realizes their relationship is built on lies, or that the career they’re grinding away at isn't the "dream job" it seemed like during those first few months on the clock. I guess the logical next move would be to confront that reality head-on and start making actual changes to fix it. But even though that’s the only thing that makes sense, most people just won't do it—probably because they lack the self-awareness to see the problem, or maybe they just don't have the mental energy left to deal with the fallout.

The whole point of personal growth—if you can even call it that—is basically trying to get your subconscious mind to actually listen to your conscious one. It’s about getting your entire internal energy system back into alignment with the truth. And look, this isn't something anyone can do for you; it has to be a solo mission. It has to be your own choice, through and through. Otherwise, what's the point? I guess the only way other people can really play a part is by offering education and sharing the truth, but at the end of the day, you're the one doing the heavy lifting.

The first step toward actually changing any part of your life is realizing what’s happening right now—and what’s been playing out in the past. It means getting honest about your own thoughts and actions. I guess believing things will just magically shift without doing that is pure illusion, even if most people seem to think the situation will just fix itself.

As we move through life, we tend to build up these layers of conditioned personality traits and mental programs. They’re basically defense mechanisms designed to make us feel less vulnerable or exposed, helping us feel more accepted, loved, or secure, I suppose.

Even if those layers serve a purpose at times, they mostly end up doing more harm than good. They pull us away from our actual reactions, feelings, opinions, and needs. In a way, they turn us into people living artificial lives—lives built on various programs we picked up from our surroundings or created ourselves to cope. Realizing these layers exist and actually working to transform them is really the only way to achieve meaningful personal growth.

Personal development isn't some casual hobby; it’s a segment of life that demands real attention, time, and energy. I suspect the more you commit to this work, the more progress you'll see in your day-to-day life and the deeper your insights into your true nature will become. Because of all that, if you want to actually move forward and maybe find some peace or happiness, you need KNOWLEDGE. But not just any kind of info—you need TRUTH. We're talking about something that isn't just a matter of subjective opinion or feeling. That's the only way to step out of that programmed subconsciousness that keeps creating the same old problems, develop real awareness, and eventually transcend the limiting patterns that dictate almost every aspect of our lives. Recognizing and overcoming the parts of us that condition our experiences is pretty much the foundation of constructive change.

That's how you get the chance, step by step, to reconnect with your basic nature. There’s nothing more natural than that, really, since we’re born with it—but life happens, and we forget. We end up identifying with a whole mess of conditioned molds and programming instead.

If someone perceives truth as something merely relative or subjective, or if they deny the possibility of objective reality and growth, then their philosophical journey is basically over before it even starts. Truth and morality can be twisted so many ways that they become meaningless, contradictory, or just arbitrary.

The Trivium is essentially a methodology for discovering truth through proper reasoning. Truth is tied to reality and reason. You can look at truth through three lenses—which correspond to the three parts of the Trivium: defining "what is" (what exists or existed in reality), why things are the way they are, and how things exist in the manner they do.

"What" represents the objective reality of our sensory perception, which helps us align our mental concepts correctly. "Why" and "how" are included for a reason; they allow us to understand reality through proper mental analysis—like drawing conclusions and explanations. This process can lead to truths and knowledge that go far beyond just what we can sense. To put it simply: Truth = Trivium: 1. What, 2. Why, 3. How.

People operating at a lower level of consciousness usually don't have any desire to uncover their true, original selves, nor do they care to develop a standard for distinguishing reality from illusion. So, they just stay lost in ignorance.
