Message: <blockquote data-quote="Malcolm" data-source="post: 1309898" data-attributes="member: 11180">What KM is referring to (if I understand the thought correctly) is indeed true and is an accepted part of physics.  Heisenburg's Uncertainty Principle and his latter works address that the state of an object is affected by the observer of the object and his/her perceptions. In a universe ruled by probability and possibility (usually refered to oddly as Space and Time) there exists an equally valid approach to any matter in which "truth" is insisted upon.Also from an elementary approach of both Physics (quanta being further subdivided ad nauseum and interchangibly both energy and matter) and Vedic thought (life is illusion, reality/matter are mutable and inherent truth is plausible at best), which have influenced almost all other forms of Western and Eastern religious, spiritual, and moralistic patterns, it is an agreed upon notion that "T"ruth is non-existant as far as humans can explain rationally.  Experience, yes. Explain coherently, no. Ineffiable continues to be part of our vocabulary for such a reason.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />As to the statements of "various", "all", and "many" religions viewing or stating some of the things you state: source please.  As a student (and yes once or twice a professor) of Religion I'd disagree with these statements and the way you presented them in a "funneling toward the truth" manner.  If there was as much agreement and similarity behind the world's religions and dogma as you state (and I wish there was when it comes to behing peaceful to our fellow humans) then there would be a good deal less violence and hatred in the world. While I agree that there are "t"ruths that they all point to which have similar messages, the various different interpretations of them is very very human, and very wide-spread. Oh, and for Good vs. Evil. Neither.Cheese.for as the Preacher-Box says "Behold! The Power of Cheese!" <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /></blockquote>
