 In the realm of seeking profound self-awareness through the acquisition of unbiased knowledge, the existence of two equally legitimate notions regarding truth inspires contemplation on how we may definitively ascertain the genuine perspective. Is it logical to solely rely on empirical evidence when establishing our understanding of objective truths?From the depths of my soul, I firmly believe that the realm of intermediate understanding can be attained through unbiased introspection. Yet, the challenge lies in unraveling genuine revelations amidst the veils of bias and trickery that cloak our empirical perceptions. The only conceivable remedy lies in forging an intimate bond with a celestial Creator, the transcendent, so as to unravel the profound mysteries of our very existence. If we fail to grasp any truths about our own being, our personal experiences shall fade away. We shall lack fundamental qualities like faithfulness, compassion, and discernment, among others. Incoherent perspectives entail unquestioningly accepting the divine proclamations of God regarding Himself and the world as irrefutable proof that He acts in accordance with His own desires. The existence of things serves as validation that God operates with love, following His intentions. Loyalty, benevolence, love, and divine judgment, for instance, are not subject to independent scrutiny but are determined by His deliberate choices. Hence, the freedom to relish in one's own existence originates from God's freedom to wholeheartedly pursue whatever brings Him pleasure.The foundation of our understanding of God stems from the observations we make of His self-revelations. However, these unveilings remain personal and subjective in nature. When God gives us guidance, it is in our best interest to acknowledge and comprehend them, so that we may anticipate the resulting consequences. Yet, when we solely rely on our observations to analyze our own actions, it becomes difficult to discern if these events were orchestrated by God or influenced by other causes. This uncertainty can be likened to watching a family from outside their home, peering through a window and feeling a connection with them. Our approach to understanding God's actions usually starts with logical assumptions, as we strive to uncover His intentions. In doing so, we exist vicariously in an objective realm.If it is God's decree that something will happen in the future, we can confidently proclaim that He has purposefully orchestrated all outcomes with profound wisdom. True freedom, in its essence, relies on God's own orchestration in the situation rather than mere permission. We can wholeheartedly trust in both God's guidance and our sincere desire to discover complete fulfillment in our personal experiences. Once we firmly believe that God governs all that is essential, our certainty in the pronouncements becomes unyielding, akin to expressing it flawlessly. Thus, we consciously place every aspect of our existence and the external world under our own authority.
