Thanks Joe!

Elizabeth twittered me that she figured creating a video to explain what she meant might be helpful. In the end, if I gave her an idea for another one of her terrific videos, then Yay! For her it meant follow your path, the one that is right for you.

I’m a “words mean things” kind of fanatic and I’m looking at that phrase as a prime literalist, so:

Live – to act

Your – what belongs to you

Truth – facts/wisdom

But to know how “to act” we have to start at the end of the phrase and work backwards, so:

Truth – Facts is modified by the possesive Your, flipping objective reality into a subjective version. Plainly spoken it would be “Live Truth.” With the addition of “your” the suggestion is that there may be different versions of – or kinds of – facts. This leaves us to act according to our own subjective opinion or interpretation of the facts.

This is exactly what the people who committed suicide in anticipation of the Hale-Bop comet did, because their truth was that the mother ship was behind the comet and they would ascend after getting right with a few rituals, then taking their lives by poisoning themselves, along with the leader, who apparently took it all quite seriously himself – ie: his truth.

Truth to me is factual reality, or it’s not truth, is it? 2 + 2 = 4 is true, regardless of your childhood or goals. Your may arrive at another sum, but that is not your truth, it’s just wrong.

I’ve spent too much time in my life already around people who bought into the wildest fantasies about supernatural and metaphysical explanations for what they sometimes observed and always for what they felt. Living as though they were true is dangerous and sloppy.

Wow, I got on a rant there! While this is not a big deal to many people, and surely not slowing Elzabeth’s popularity, my counsel would be just to change the phrase. I may be the first to bring this up, but if she ends up on Oprah it’s gonna come up a LOT.

Once she’s found a new “mo bettah” and more unique vocabulary for this concept that is so central to who she is and what she believes, she is certainly the master of turning the whole thing into an even GREATER opportunity to leverage her already considerable momentum.

Once again, this is IMHBAO and until Congress gets it new round of helpful legislation in, we are free to choose! ... See all content Hide content
