Veritasism coming from latin Veritas meaning truth and

-ism meaning a distinctive practice, system, or philosophy, typically a political ideology or an artistic movement.

Veritasism is an ideology or a philosophy that says what we believe in is the truth.

-Core Belief: Each person's perception of reality is inherently their own truth. This means that what one person believes or experiences is as valid as what someone else believes or experiences, even if these truths seem contradictory.

-Living in Your Own World: Since everyone's beliefs and perceptions shape their reality, Veritasism proposes that each individual lives in their own world. The world that a person experiences is shaped by their thoughts, experiences, and beliefs. This could mean that two people might experience the same situation differently, and both experiences are equally real to them.

Key Tenets of Veritasism:

1. Personal Truth is Inherent: Every individual's beliefs, perceptions, and experiences create their personal truth, and that truth is valid for them.

2. No Universal Truth: Truth is subjective, and there is no single, universal truth that applies to all people.

3. Respect for Other Truths: Since others live in their own worlds of truth, Veritasism promotes respect for different perspectives, fostering understanding and empathy.

4. Open Dialogue: Communication is vital to understanding the truths of others, helping to resolve conflict and build mutual respect.

Practical Application of Veritasism:

Self-Reflection: Encouraging individuals to reflect on their beliefs and how these shape their experiences. Dialogue: Promoting discussions between people with differing beliefs to explore and understand each other's worlds of truth. Respect for Diversity: Encouraging tolerance and acceptance of varying perspectives, recognizing that each person's truth is a valid representation of their own ex

(It might seem stupid but the world is full of stupidity so it doesn't matter.)

Just as philosophies like absurdism and externalism have a different ideology yet different people believe in it and it's their own truth in life. Some believe life has no meaning some believe that we can make a meaning, but what humans need to realize is that everyone lives in their own life, having their own god(except money), their own world and truth. It's foolish to argue over religion and some other personal beliefs. Everyone has their own world that they are in control of. Some believe in god some believe they are god, so? It's none of your business. Everyone has their own truth and meaning in life just as everyone lives a different life. They have the full right to believe in their "truth"

.

How do we define real? What is real? I'm not sure and I don't care.

I don't care about anything at all, but at the same time I care deeply.

CHAPTER 1

Religion

What is religion?

-Religion is a particular system of faith and worship.

-Another definition could be the belief in and worship of a superhuman power or powers, especially a God or gods.

In my belief, religions were either coming from evil people that wanted to control the world, some philosophy, or just something that was before science trying to find why are we here.

People worship gods that they don't know but get an answer based on their beliefs, some manifest or pray stuff into reality by just blindly believing. Some got answers from Allah, some from Jesus, some from Hindu gods, etc...

Yet they don't believe in the same god but get their answers. It's because they believe in it with their whole heart, creating something similar to what is called Placebo Effect.

The oldest religion in the world Hinduism comes from India. According to many scholars Hinduism is around 3500 years old. As I mentioned before, religion is an odd concept and we don't really know why does it exist.

Religions play a crucial role in the documented history. It played and plays a huge influence on people, good and bad.

What does religion have to do with Veritasism?

Religion

Well it has nothing to do with it historically but it can change perspective for some people that have strong religious beliefs (for example a strong religious people could **** someone for not believing in their god).

Also Veritasism can change the whole concept of religion and „truth" in general.

What i mean by truth is a personal belief of truth, not something like mathematics.

Religious Relativism:

-Veritasism rejects the idea of a singular, objective religious truth that applies to all people. Instead, it posits that each individual has their own truth about religion, meaning that different people can believe different things, and those beliefs are equally true to them. This can challenge traditional religious views that often claim to have access to the "one true" faith.

-Faith in Veritasism becomes a deeply personal journey. One's belief in a higher power or spiritual path may change over time, and that evolution is valid as long as it reflects the individual's own truth. For instance, someone may shift from believing in a traditional religious narrative to embracing a more non-theistic or agnostic perspective, and that transition would still be viewed as a valid part of their spiritual journey.

-A core element of Veritasism is respecting other people's truths.

This means that when it comes to religion, Veritasism would encourage tolerance, understanding, and compassion for those with different religious beliefs or practices. Rather than seeing a person's religion as "right" or "wrong," Veritasism calls for seeing it as valid within their own experience.

CHAP­TER 2

Death

What is death?

-the permanent ending of vital processes in a cell or tissue.

The concept of death in Veritasism—given that each person lives in their own truth and world—can be a deeply personal and transformative experience. Since Veritasism asserts that each individual's beliefs, perceptions, and experiences shape their reality, this would naturally extend to how death is understood, approached, and experienced.

While each person's experience of death is subjective, there may still be certain shared truths or experiences that connect people when it comes to death. For example, the grief of losing a loved one may be universally recognized, even though how individuals understand that grief may differ.

Death is a really big concept. It isn't connected that much to Veritasism, but it can help an individual on how he perceives it or even calm an individual.

"Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss in life is what dies inside us while we live."

-Norman Cousins

CHAPTER 3

Thoughts and Thinking

For truth seekers like me it is possible you may suffer from extreme anxiety because you want to know the truth.

In Veritasism it can change your perspective on how you view truth and it can calm you.

I was thinking for a long time about Veritasism so I decided to finally write about it.

I feel like I have failed. But that still doesn't stop me. I made a phrase

"If you don't try then how will you shine?"

-So here I am trying.

"Take a chance, and you may lose. Take not a chance, and you have already lost"

People don't realize how much power we have. Our thinking shapes our reality, so be careful what you think about.

"Conquer your thoughts and you shall conquer the world."

Your perspective is important in life. How life is depends on your perspective.

Veritasism has 2 big teachings.

"Love is the frequency of existence itself. It means that you are always unconditionally supported, no matter what you choose."

"All causes of action are risky, so prudence is not in avoiding danger, but calculating risk and actin decisively. Make mistakes by ambition and not by mistakes of sloth. Develop the strength to do bold things not the strength to suffer."

-I hope the teaching is clear.

Everything is a vibration. We have an entire universe within us. That is my belief and my truth. Everything depends on you.

Everything is frequency. Everything vibrates, your thoughts, everything. Moving your mind into a higher vibration, state or frequency (however you want to call it), you can attract anything you want.

Master all laws of universe and you shall attract what you want.

(my truth, my belief. It may not resonate with you at all.)

"I am the wisest man alive, for I know one thing and that is that I know nothing."

-Plato

"The mind is a place that can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven"

-John Milton

You are so powerful. Your mind is so powerful. Be careful how you think.

For me religions are very hard to comprehend so I decided to calm myself by Veritasistic thinking.



My beliefs change rapidly just as my personality does. I'm not sure why it happens. Sometimes I'm spiritual sometimes that, sometimes that... So if anything confuses you based on my thinking, know I'm confused too.



It's a short book about my philosophy, in the near future I will make an extension of it and make it more organized. I like to share my thoughts with the world, hoping I can make a difference. I am currently spiritual instead of considering myself religious.

**** it all depends,
If we all divide or we all in,
Better repent the sins,
This ain't no religious pen,
Think you tryna' help me?
You think i need new friends?
Maybe it all depends.
The world ends , from me pen,
Multiverses from my head to shins,
The light within,
Wanna' hang with me?
Think i need new friends?

Odd Odyssey Poet Dec 2024
Tearing up in the most peculiar of ways,
I’m merely another chapter, unfolding with each
new page for every dawn—my narrative, born from
an unexpected prologue, leaves me pondering the
conclusion.

It should be an inclusive story,
but it's often so exclusive to the author’s constant habits
of being a reclusive – my eyes could narrate ten thousand
muses; yet the art of writing these days, has become so
elusive.

I was once a pen, transformed into the very letters
that compose each sentence, and crafting a narrative.
And with every sunrise, I pen another page in this
Book of I.

Listen,
poems read
differently
when you're close to the poet

Listen,
run your hands
across my pages
caress the dents
feel the depth in some
and the lightness in others

Listen,
come closer
place your ear
on my papers
listen to the waltz
my pencils do
with every
stride, every curve

I sit alone, with a book in my hand
Ignoring the loudness around me and
The ocassional contact with other human beings
I rarely talk, i'm quiet because my mind is too loud.

I try expressing my thoughts through words and other types of art
But how do i stay intact
If everything is falling apart?
When everything i knew and loved left?
Not in the best mood rn
Leanne Nov 2024
Words have been left unspoken, like blank pages in a book.
I keep flipping through the pages, to take another look.
I find the words unwritten; they've never stained the page.
It's only you who can see them, only you know this silent rage.
The years that have been passing, fleeting swiftly by,
Our words left unspoken from our mouths, have been spoken through our eyes.
No one knows the magnitude the unspoken has been to bare.
It's crazy to believe there was another one out there who truly cared.
The unspoken words we've hidden deep inside our hearts,
This has made such an impact on me, as you've been the vital part.
In the silence of the unspoken, you still show that you care.
The brush of your hand, a smile, a gentle hug lets me know you're still there.
This unspoken that's always flowing, yet not heard or seen,
We both know the unspoken is there, but never speak of what it means.
In the quiet, our unspoken waits, never asking or never loud.
Our unspoken is strong and steady, even when the unspoken's not allowed.

A had a spell in the library.
It wasn’t a long one,
but it’s never the length of the spell that matters.
It’s the work that goes into it.
It’s the focus,
the book work,
the practice.

I had a spell in the library.
It was magic.
I volunteer in our local library in Hanwell, West London. I re-shelved a Harry Potter book today - it got me thinking.
