As I was reading the book, I realized that people had been telling stories as far as humans learned to talk. By our current standard, these stories make no sense except there are common themes to them. These stories then weaved into religious scriptures and eventually into mainstream thinking.
It is interesting to note that once upon a time they were deemed as truth by society at that time. As we progress, these stories become myths. Some get absorbed as folklores. Some become religious doctrines.
What interests me is how these stories emerged. Who started them? How do these people be certain of what seemed to be an outlandish claim?
When I look at these stories, I realized that my story is nothing more than a myth as well. If I look at myself and attempt to explain the origin of my story, I realize that the story developed as I journeyed within. Though it too is outlandish, I personally believe that the story is true. I have no intention to mislead anybody.
However, when I compare with the ancient myths, I realized I am no different from the shamans who professed these stories a long time ago. These shamans somehow operated from the State of Knowing without having evidence to measure the validity and reliability of their stories. They simply make up as they move along.
My story doesn't hold water. There is no way I can validate it. I am nothing more than an Urban Shaman. There is no merit to what I am saying. Maybe the story is only true for me. If that is the case, I will follow the storyline without having anybody else accountable for it.
The emphasis here then is the Personal Flight Path. I will follow where the argument leads. Just me, nobody else. After all, I [] (am) not here to start a new religion. I am just a man who is trying to make sense of the epiphanies I received.
As it is, it works for me. Maybe that's what it is; a personal manifestation. In that case, I am only telling people about my journey. Not a compulsion for them to take the journey. This is my journey within my internal realm. If it is true, then it is true only for me. I should not use it as a yardstick for society at large to follow.
Since it was revealed to me, then it remains exclusively as my consciousness. I am telling people what I see. I should not expect people to subscribe to it. Even if they do, then they should treat it as a story and not as the ultimate truth.
There is no truth beyond mathematics. The rest is just opinions and perspectives.
I am happy to own my story. Just as JRR Tolkein and JK Rowling own theirs. The difference here is the medium the story is presented. Mine is via the blog. I don't mind classifying my story as a work of fiction rather than a proclamation. That's because there is no scientific data to support my claims. Having said that, I also include ALL religious doctrines in the same category.
I believe what was revealed to me as the truth that applies to me only. I am the originator of this truth. Therefore I believe in it. After all, truth is whatever we choose to believe in. If so happens that you believe in it, then it is also true to you.
Since it is true to me, I will pursue it to the very end. I had chartered my timeline against the backdrop of KBOOOM 2041. If it is true, then I win big time. If not then I would say my consciousness will still endure. Unless of course there is nothing beyond death. If that is the case, with the timeline I had set for myself, I will still [] (have) a fulfilled life.
