On Truth

[dar205]

Truth is verifiable, either directly (as with Science) or via inference. The supernals may be beyond reason, but in order for it to reach Malkuth it has to pass through the Ruach. If your "Truth" fails to match what is known &/or verifiable, then I will bet that it isn't Truth, but instead delusion of the kind Crowley warns us against in the "

I don't think that truth is always verifiable (objectively), especially not by science. There are different kinds of truth, some objective and some subjective. There is the phenomenal and the noumenal. But even Maya, veiling Consciousness to Itself and creating the phenomenal world, is a kind of truth.

I didn't say that Science can verify everything. I said that Truth is Verifiable. One of the ways, applicable to many things, is Science. Other things can be inferred by their effects on the physical world. If we accept "As Above, So Below" (& its corollary positing a reciprocal relationship) then we can see that A->B->C->D->-E->F.

If A & B are unverifiable by Science, any conjecture on their nature must allow for C through F. If they do not, we know they are false. As we expand our knowledge of the things Science can solve, we gain a clearer picture of A & B.
