I believe that Truth is not the exclusive domain of any political or religious philosophy. While every philosophy may contain pearls of truth and wisdom, they also contain elements of unconscious dogma that can constrain free inquiry.

Truth exists independent of all social organizations. It permeates all of creation, and is unbounded by leaders or creeds. Unfortunately, it can be clouded by exalting a messiah or genuflecting to an “ism.” All knowledge is provisional, and is subject to further discovery and refinement.

The pursuit of Truth is a difficult and lifelong challenge. We are all intellectual captives of our cultures, our histories, our churches, our nations, and our fears. Breaking free from this conformity requires the courage to stand apart from the conditioning of society.

This journey is both exhilarating and terrifying. Please join me in wandering into this Pathless Land.
