We all create our own reality. Do you believe that?

So, have you noticed how much today’s knowledge takes into account emotions, feelings, intuition, reflection, magic, myth, and mystical experience? These are the things that are now performing in the spotlight. How “I feel” has provided the content to replace what is “known” to be true. If it doesn’t “feel” right, then it probably isn’t right. Do you believe that?

Well, if you do, then you fit right into this post-modern age where there is a blurring of the difference between the self and what objectively exists. If you create your own reality you have blurred the differences. You will fit right in very nicely.

Post-modernism holds all moral values to be relative, each person and culture developing their own values by considering not what is undeniable absolute truth in all circumstances for everyone, but simply what truths just happen to work for oneself… or one’s culture or subculture. There are no absolutes. Tolerance is the key virtue. One must tolerate one’s neighbour because all perspectives have equal value, all are truths, all beliefs are valid, and all experience creates knowledge.

Someone called Steve Turner wrote a poem called Creed, a tongue-in-cheek comment on post-modern society, a verse of which I quote here.
The whole poem can be read by clicking right here.

We believe that each man must find the truth
that is right for him.
Reality will adapt accordingly.
The universe will readjust. History will alter.
We believe that there is no absolute truth
excepting the truth that there is no absolute truth.

Well, do you believe that? Do you really and truly believe that?

Me? I don’t. I don’t believe any of it. I’m a misfit.
