It appears that ‘the unconscious part’ of consciousness knows truth exists. What stands between truth and how we fill time dismissing truth as false, is amnesia, which serves to keep truth out of sight so we can fill time defending our rendition of truth. Anxiety is a clue that we can obscure truth, but we can’t cancel it. Truth, ironically, acts like our nemesis because it always threatens to remind us just how full of it we are. It can be relegated to the back of the mind, but it reminds us that our rendition of reality is amusingly bogus. Humor reflects where you are with this apparent paradox. Anger reflects how much you hate the fact truth won’t go away. Time displays that we are engaged in a contest between truth and the sum of what we do to prove truth is false. Irony includes the fact truth is responsible for how we fill time ‘waging war with truth,’ which captures the epitome of humor. How can we hope to prove truth is false if truth provides the setting for this parody?
These were some of the thoughts I pondered after reading Wei Wu Wei’s eight wonderful books, starting with “Open secret.” His synthesis of all Buddhist philosophy punched a gaping hole in amnesia, illuminating the outline of the architecture of reality. What became clear is that there is something we can refer to as “The Big Picture,” and that it warehouses what truth is all about, including the game truth features us playing with it. Time features us trying to prove truth is false, and truth is the author of this game. I named this game TAG, an acronym that stands for “The Anti-truth Game.”
