Surah 52, verse 34
“Then let them produce a recital like it, if they should be truthful.”
Anyone, if truthful, can produce a narrative like this.
Everyone is potentially a Prophet.
If they are ready to receive the Divine, if their ground has been prepared.
And why are we not ?
Herein lies the gap between what we are and what we can be.
My mind turns to Pilate’s question.
I’m unsure of the answer.

What is Truth ?

That question ?

Precisely.

The reality of relative truths (Pilate) does not invalidate the reality of Absolute truth) (Christ)
Quite the contrary…

Absolute truth has an unfortunate habit of being whatever absolutists say it is.
If there is such an absolute (which I am not denying), I do not believe it is found in any book that a human hand has written.
But then, « truth, » as a concept, is one with which I have a less than friendly relationship, as you know.

Hearing about absolute truth is a a strong marker of ignorance.
Nothing ca ever be said of absolute truth, for this would imply the relative tools of language and thoughts.

Therefore, there is nothing to say…

Noticing precisely that.
Reaching the edge of words.
Like logic leading to the end of logic and recognising intuition.(?)

And saying there is nothing that can be said is the furthest words can ever go…their maximum potential would be to notice the absence thereof.

I’m trying to work out if responding is more or less ironic than not doing so…
