Truth
Is It Real?

Ready for an enigma? Think you have a handle on Truth? We challenge you!

The Cowsbell Quest is for real truth, not what you feel is true but rather Truth with the capital “T”. If you are like many moderns, you assume what you believe is actually true but is it? Does your version of Truth have all the pieces of the puzzle that add up to reality or under examination, does your truth become an enigma with not all the pieces fitting together?

Pieces melted together do not necessarily create an accurate conclusion if the flow of information is warped. If you begin with dis-related bits misunderstood, the conclusion likely will not be conformable as Truth.

The Cowsbell Phenomena is defined as:

“belief birthed from the familiar rather than truth confirmed by the verifiable.”

(See “A Word about Cowsbell” for more on the Cowsbell Phenomena)

Our Quest is to rightly discern Truth without the chaos of perception. How often the dilemma of the Information Age is that not everything is as it appears. We’ve used the picture of someone having a virtual reality sensation as an example of what isn’t as it seems — you put on the goggles, see the image, hear the sounds, feel the sensations and yet it is an illusion, a sensory experience without actual substance. No matter how real it seems—it isn’t.

“Above all else, guard your heart for everything you do flows from it.”¹ How difficult is it for you to keep what is in the core of your beliefs as accurate  Truth? It can be popular, touch our emotions, agree with our views, satisfy our beliefs, and yet, maybe it has no basis in truth other than our willingness to perceive it as what we wanted to believe. There is an element in our makeup that encourages us to embrace the familiar, to measure what we read, see, hear and think through what we have already accepted. Sometimes we dismiss Truth by simply embracing the familiar. Similarly to artificial intelligence, there is a Confirmation Bias in both the way we ask questions, the way we view the response and the conclusions we want to draw.

In our posts we look into ways we perceive through presumption rooted in what we have made our core familiars. This is a challenge to take a deeper look into our beliefs and practices with an eye to what qualifies as Truth.

We provide three main paths in this pursuit: The Blogs which are perspectives on a broad spectrum of histories, experiences and practices, Revelation which is the specific impartation of Truth, Perception which is about the varied ways we receive and apply Truth and then Resources you may use to determine the value of your own Truth.
