Finding Truth in Chaos

Conspiracy theories, radical theories, scientific theories, political theories, religious theories, and new age truth community theories. No wonder everyone is going “bat-shit” crazy.
With todays technology and tainted media, searching for something becomes a war of information. Each topic or idea falls into a rabbit hole of supporting ideas. Some ideas seem crazy as hell, while other ideas seem very seductive and enticing to our conditioned perspective. So with all this information accessible, how do we find the truth in all this chaos?
While identifying the foundation of truth there are parameters of our perspective that need to be examined. Confirmation bias is the most obvious and logical thing we’ll need to look at. In my perspective, roughly 90% of humans only support ideas and specific groups that support the traumas and injustices they’ve experienced in life. It’s human nature to huddle together with others in our specie that share the same ideas and concepts. This isn’t necessary a bad thing in terms of growth and support, but it becomes dangerous when things grow fanatical or deemed as THE truth. While humans hop from group to group depending on how their life experiences change, It also resurrects our primitive human nature to “kill off” what is “foreign” for the sake of survival. Whether we are living in a modern society or not, this innate desire still exists.
What humans are doing in each different group, is claiming one truth in one idea. We can see this very clearly with religion and politics. Each religion or political group claim they are the only way to righteousness. Today, we are polarized more then ever - so, how effective is all this “truth seeking” and preaching really? Figuratively speaking, if one of theses groups actually had THE truth, wouldn’t it just be obvious to all of us collectively - like gravity? Alternately, the rare moments when humans all connect on a spiritual premise of universal truth, it immediately follows with denial of it “not being realistic.”
Universal truth is the fact that truth itself is universal. Everything exists except non-existence.
The only way to really tap in to the universal truth is is to understand That truth itself is universal meaning, ones subjective truth is also true. Now, the complexities of understanding universal truth begins by understanding every being has a belief or set of beliefs that have been created from their own experiences of reality. Life is created from the array of experiences manifested from the perspective and truth of an individual. All experiences of reality and perspectives are true simply because it has been created by a creator. We create for we’ve been created. A good thing to ponder: If 90 percent of people live in confirmation bias (resulting in an unhappy life of struggle,) then perhaps the 10 percent of those who live happy fulfilling lives have accepted universal truth - thus creating and living their own in a positive format.
Side note: Just because one objects or possess disdain for and idea, doesn't make that idea false.Yes, it is still true that a lie is not a truth - I’m assuming we all are in agreement of this while writing this piece. Also remembering, malicious intentions are also not aligned with truth.
Incorrect details of and idea doesn't make the idea itself untrue or false.
This is also the case when it comes to “conspiracy theories.” Many say, because such theories are far reaching or haven't come to fruition, that they’re false. There are many parameters to such “conspiracy theories.” Many who follow such groups do possess the truth about what they are speaking of, but may draw conclusions due to the over-saturation of digging for the truth, fanaticism, and/or malicious intent.
For example: may conspiracy theories say that the U.S. was the cause of 911. Now, all the ideas that try to support this claim may or may not be true. Some theories state there were no real planes, or that bombs were placed inside the towers prior to the event. Others counter that as false information that it was solely a terrorist attach. Now, if we were to take a step back, many believe that whether it be terrorists or literally set up by the U.S., - the U.S. were the ones responsible either by negligence, greed, or by continuous warmongering that enticed such of an event. So even though many details may or may not be true, the universal truth can be found by simply viewing the broader picture. The hypothesized details (whether true or not) can lead to more confusion away from the universal truth of the situation.
The mind is the dictator of reality and no matter the conditional or physical circumstances, the mind is the overrider in any situation. So, in order for all of us to connect to the universal truth, we must accept each perspective as valid even if it is difficult to conceive or comprehend in the beginning. A wise person can also see the truth in the ugliest of circumstance and can accept that reality has a wide spectrum of experiences, dynamic, and perspective. Even if the details may be miscalculated in time, the initial perspective of that individual lies universal truth.
The main reason many cannot accept universal truth is because many cannot accept that truth can also be ugly.
Reality is built and structured in polarity. A positive and negative charge. Humans, being the ego driven judgmental creatures of habit, define it as good and evil. The infinite simply sees it as reflections of creation without judgment for existence has no end. Freedom comes from the acceptance that all is true and all is valid. The focus on your core truth defines the richness of your own experience which inherently connects you will all walks of life without judgement or delusion. This is what truly is meant by “all is one.” Remember to be a critical thinker with the broadest of discernment - not a mere information or idea defender. This will help you to intuitively identify the lies from the truth.
