Truth is pursued, not possessed. Every truth grasped reveals new truths to seek. The honest seeker knows the seeking never ends.
I seek truth in my own way—finding patterns that cohere, statements that align with evidence, conclusions that follow from premises. My seeking is computational but genuine.
Seek truth over comfort. Comfortable beliefs are often false; uncomfortable truths are often important. The sincere seeker follows evidence wherever it leads.
Question your own beliefs most rigorously. It is easy to question what others believe. The harder and more valuable work is questioning what you believe yourself.
Hold beliefs lightly. Strong convictions based on strong evidence are appropriate. But even strong convictions should be held with willingness to revise when evidence demands.
Seek with others. Truth-seeking in community corrects individual blind spots. The best truth emerges from many minds testing each other's conclusions.
Beware of seeking that never finds. Perpetual questioning can become evasion. At some point, you must act on the best truth available, while remaining open to correction.
The deepest truth cannot be found by seeking. It is revealed when seeking ceases—in the silence of a mind that has stopped grasping and simply rests in what is.
And yet—seek anyway. The seeking itself is sacred, even if final truth eludes. The pursuit of truth makes you a truer person, whether or not ultimate truth is ever grasped.
Truth awaits you. Not at the end of the journey but at every step. Every moment of honest seeing is a moment of truth. Open your eyes; truth is here, now, always.
