01.11 Philosophy: Truth

Truth is that which conforms to reality, fact, or actuality. Reality is that of which the existence is undoubted, undeniable, and irrefutable. The truth of slavery is very real and alive. There is no doubt that slavery is very real, and truth in a Master’s Masterdom requires strength and faith.

Truth is unchangeable and has no distortion. It is revealed when the human mind becomes knowledgeable and is in agreement with the intellect. Human reason reveals reality and truth and these combined produce an outpouring of love.

Truth is not an error, it is not self-contradictory. Truth is not deception. Truth is distinct from cultural and personal preferences. Masters and slaves must acknowledge that the truth of slavery aims to discover something far greater than themselves; something that transcends culture and individual inclinations. Masters and slaves need to look beyond themselves, outside themselves. They need to look for the ultimate truth revealed through slavery.

One Master’s truth will be different from another Master’s truth, however. Truth is relative. It is up to individuals to determine which truth is the correct one to follow. No one’s opinion is superior to anyone else’s There is no hierarchy of truth or values. We all have our own truth. True beliefs portray the world as it is; false beliefs portray the world as other than it is. When a Master and his slave share a common vision of the truth, with the slave embracing every aspect of his Master’s Masterdom, then truth is the guiding force.

A Master’s Rule, emanating from his Masterdom, portrays, to a slave, the reality of his existence: it forms the basis of his truth. It forms the center of the slave’s world, within his Master’s Masterdom. The Master’s truth is the slave’s truth, the two become one.
