Reality is Truth

Written by Mark Adam Crow

"Thy will be done!" There is no other option. The statement implies that the plans of the greatest power be carried out. Once again, I am discussing the concepts of choice and destiny. Does one man have the amazing ability to shape his life through his own thoughts and actions? Or, are his actions, thoughts, and entire life, all playing out every deliberately planned action, that they had been specifically designed for?

One thing is certain. Everything bows to truth. "Thy will" is truth. The one, the only, truth. Truth equals reality. There is only one reality, for there is only one true chain of events to have ever actually occurred. Reality is what is real. The truth is real. Truth is never fake. Fake truth is not truth, but lies. All lies are fake and false. Fantasy. Fantasy is just a creation of imagination. A possibility. A can, a might. Fantasy only becomes reality when it is.

There are, as there always have been, many cans, could haves, would haves, should, should haves, and should not haves, but only one path have actually been done. Reality is what does happen, what has happened, and what actually will happen. Only that which truly occurs is reality. No what if's are allowed.

In my humble and limited opinion, if man was left with complete peril of control, we never would have come so far. Mans history seems to paint a long and toiled journey of accomplishment amid utter chaos. Order was found only in common understanding and shared beliefs. Agreement and unity, but sadly, understanding and unity have never seemed to be among mans strongest attributes. Instead, we live in a world that seems to have been created through destruction.

Empires are created through war and power. Greed and hate. Torture, fear, hate, anger, confusion, hate. Misunderstanding one another is something that people will always do. We will always fear what we do not understand. We will always hate what we fear and we will always destroy what we hate. Understanding, when compared to confusion, has actually occurred very few times in history, and yet, somehow, it has been enough to create the vast civilizations that we now inhabit. With war and pain and hate everywhere, somehow, love and understanding have fought against all odds and have given birth to the semi peaceful world we know today. I believe that if this world was truly and entirely in the hands of mankind, we would eventually all destroy one another. In fact, I think that we would have done it long ago. We would’ve never come so far. Our very nature is destructive and nervous. Shoot first, ask questions later. A primitive response designed for self defense. Fight or flight. Kill or be killed. Dog eat dog world. Only the strong survive. All metaphors for being nervous and destructive, yet somehow life and civilization prevail.
A direct contradiction to a rational reality. A question of truth. How can we continue destroying one another, and somehow still continue living peacefully with one other? Einstein said something like, 'you cannot both hope for peace, and prepare for war.' Yet, we have all been doing so since the beginning of time. This cannot be our doing. Not completely. Something, far greater than any or all of us, has had major, if not complete, control over what will and does happen in our reality. On a scale, both individual and collective, as well as metaphysical and tangible, even astronomical and cosmological, our reality is, and has always been guided and nurtured by something greater than ourselves.

This idea is what the first civilizations were based on. Regardless what they may have called this, or these, higher power(s), this common idea brought masses together in unity and mutual understanding. Gave them focus and hope. Religions, of all shapes and sizes, throughout time have been the very backbone of society. Humans love being a part of something right and true, something greater than themselves. People will lay down their very lives in order to uphold this concept of greatness. This is where the problems with organized and fanatical religion lie.

A misunderstanding leads to fear, and conflict in beliefs leads to confrontation, and then to rivalry, then to hate and destruction. It all could've been avoided through love and understanding, but was it? Will people ever remember to understand and to accept each other? Only truth can tell. There is but one true reality. Man, simply, is not powerful or responsible enough to control such a thing as reality, without inevitable doom. We do not, nor cannot, understand or accept this power greater than ourselves. So, even now, we seek guidance.

Reality is the only truth.
