Our Imperative
To be moral agents in the pursuit of truth
One should not need a bank account in order to pursue the truth, but that is the present situation. It is my intention to change this situation, in the manner explained below.
Every institution has an obligation to truth, and we must constantly remind ourselves of this. This is particularly so for academic institutions, and for every department thereof. At this fin de siecle it is the philosophy departments which reluctantly carry the academic burden of truth. It is they who are left to apologize for their academic colleagues who have dissected and compartmented the truth beyond all recognition.
At some point before the end of this world, the truth will be resurrected. To be human is to believe that there is a larger truth in which we all participate as moral agents. This truth is not an impersonal abstraction. The larger truth is of necessity coherent and thereby personal and every thinking being is both the origin and recipient of it. The world in which this truth reveals itself must also be a mental construct.
Cosmic intelligence pours itself fully into human intelligence and is thereby resurrected. This is the meaning of human history. This process runs to completion, and the point of completion is much nearer than we suspect. As we push the material world and the paradigm of materialism beyond its limits and our own limits of survival, then we will turn to the truth of immaterialism. Each of us and then all of us will realize that we are the way, the truth and the light.
This is the simple truth that I profess to the professors. This truth will change nothing and then change everything, all in the blink of an eye. It should not be my burden to determine how every academically analyzed piece of truth will fit back into the cosmic picture, but I will temporarily take on this burden so as to prime the pump that is our resurrection.
