If you had a thought that was so profound, so beautiful, so painful, so true that the very act of sharing it with those around you would in-itself forever change them (change the world) in a way you couldn’t predict; would you? I’m talking an irrefutable idea that would shake the pillars of the earth, that would instantly change people down to their core, and bring them to their knees the moment they heard it, would you dare tell? Should you?

You mean, that we are all of the one? We are all connected? If that`s not it, please share your thought.

Isn't that the premise of our theme here?

Its your duty to find truth in the world. Its your duty to share it with people. If you don't, you are just as much a scumbag as the rest of the leaders of this world.

Truth is only dangerous if you want to use it in that way, to hurt others.

Absolute truth is above duality and relativity therefore absolute truth is in the dominion of oneself which you can call it soul.
If you think that your truth is true behind all conditions, then obviously your truth is virtually relative.
If you tell your truth to others then you will just add more half truth to the greater spectrum of reality.

What if the truth was so utterly heavy that it instantly converted certain people into eternal slaves for others? If it could change the DNA of a human just by them digesting the thought? An idea so profound it’s likely never been considered by modern leaders and would leave the strongest of men wailing like infants on the floor and send others into eternal bliss? Would you still be a scumbag for not telling?

Well our ability to adapt isn't such that we can change our dna on the fly. Having said that.....

Yes, you are delaying inevitability and progress. You are lessening the value of others by keeping it to yourself. It is absurd to believe that there is a truth out there that I can digest and no one else can.

Truth = Ascension

Let`s see, could it be we are now going through a time of awakening? That a wave of consciousness is now sweeping across our solar system and it is so strong it will affect the very DNA that makes us who we are? That it will lift those who are aware of it to a higher density?

"Cowardice asks the Question ,is it safe?
Expediency asks the question ,is it Politic?
Vanity asks the question ,is it Popular?
But conscience asks the question, is it right?
And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic ,nor Popular; but one must take it because it is right "

Truth is only dangerous when people start to think that their truth is better than yours.

Such mentality is somewhat self-defeating, as it makes conflict more or less inevitable.

They say you should fight for your beliefs - it's important to know what it is you're fighting when it comes down to it.

The nature of truth is actually quite chaotic. One way that this chaos manifests among us is exactly like Mr.Anonymous above me mentioned-when people start to think their truth is more important than yours.

The yearning for truth, let alone the truth itself, stirs the minds and thoughts of people frantically. It can even cause us to submit to our primal instincts and put aside our facility for reasoning.

So, is it dangerous? You bet.

Yes, truth can be chaotic, and it is only chaotic to those whose reality it may question. It does take truth to make one look deeper inside for answers to those questions. Because this is where the true answer to the questions are, deep within us, where they have always been from our very beginning. If chaos makes us look deeper inside, then yes, it can be a good thing.


I stared and flagged this topic, because I believe it needs to be discussed in a higher nature, because truth does affect our way of thinking.

Simple answer would be yes - all truth is dangerous as a direct result of the human mind's ability to apply knowledge. The same knowlegde which allows the production of much needed medical drugs means criminals can cook up crystal meth in their own homes. A grounding in physics and chemistry would enable anyone to produce basic but effective weaponry, and learning about the operation of computers could let even the slowest witted of fools to make passable attempts at illegal data access and alteration.

Everything can be used for the wrong purposes - kinda like an anti-mcgyver

That would be a proof of in-decision.
