Neither the Mouth that Speaks nor the Ear that Hears

         

“Neither the mouth that speaks nor the ear that hears are by themselves divine.”

This eloquent quote refers to the autonomy of the nature of truth. Do we not bestow praise upon those who speak to us the truth with which we agree, and abolish those who speak the truth with which we do not?

We have made leaders and even gods of those who show us truth with which we agreed. Likewise, we have slain those who have shown us truth with which we do not agree and buried that awful truth beside them. “Neither the mouth that speaks nor the ear that hears are by themselves divine.” Truth simply is and it belongs to no one. Not the mouth that speaks truth or the ear that hears truth can claim possession over it.

Whether you are accepting of truth or in denial, you are eternally intertwined with Universal Order which is a result of Universal Truth. Universal truth is simply the factual and infallible nature of everything within existence. We are not above, and neither are we beneath it, but one with it regardless of our individual desires and ambitions. Our understanding of truth or lack there of provides us no claim over truth and awards us no prestige or power.

The wealth of our acquired human knowledge is no man’s to harbor, horde or sell. It is a basic rite of all those seeking awareness of it. He that wields truth and knowledge like a tool over the ignorant is himself a foolish king of fools. Those that worship a god that conceals truth with faith to lead with ignorance serve not a foolish god, but nothing at all.

Do not declare there is no god, Mr. Hawking, and do not assert that a god exists, you of the indoctrinated. Both of these are of ignorance. It is acceptable to admit you do not know a thing, but it is never acceptable to claim to know with certainty a thing which you clearly do not. Instead, admit that you can only be certain that you exist and everything around you must be courageously questioned. Accept that the nature of yourself remains a mystery to you and the concept of a Universal Creator is thus beyond your comprehension.

In this, your last stand upon the earth as presumptuous civilizations, you will serve as examples to later true civilizations what results from your primal systems. As you peer into your screens to the chaotic and abyssal results of your societies, thus your demise will serve as a warning… and nothing more. For it is beyond your power to destroy the world. It is only within your power to relinquish your place within it.


Truth, and awareness thereof, belongs to no one and makes leaders and gods of no one. “Neither the mouth that speaks nor the ear that hears are by themselves divine.” --- Eve
