Inquiry vs Ideology: How To Discern Truth
The truth has been obscured by ideology. Not a particular ideology, rather ideology in and of itself.
Ideology is essentially any form of pathology that is based in a belief system. It is that which arises when we identify with our beliefs. For instance, let’s say I identify as being a republican/democrat, or a religious person, or an artist, then every thing I perceive will be seen through the lens of that particular identity. This is ultimately divisive and destructive, for the narrative, the storyline, the fantasy is then given more weight than the truth.
