QUESTION: Masters, I am curious about scientific results tied to the belief of the experimenter. For example, if 3 scientists did the same experiment, would all 3 have the same outcome denoting a group or universal absolute truth? When scientists do studies & make bold statements, like eating certain foods causes inflammation in the body, or 85% of people are Vitamin D deficient, would this mean only the people who hear those results and believe such to be true would have that reaction or truth? What is science if there is never just one absolute truth? Is truth fluid? You incorporate any belief yourself or from scientific study into your life & it holds true only because you resonate with that truth, which can be revolving as long as you decide to hang onto that notion as a truth or then ditch it. So you could tell yourself you are not vitamin D deficient & would not be? ~Jen, Canada
ANSWER: You are mixing belief systems from the conscious and the unconscious together with pure science, not involving quantum variables, and life lessons. Belief systems are the rules and regulations that we consciously and unconsciously adhere to because we have been trained to accept them. Most of these we follow unconsciously because we do not know how impactful they are upon our lives, or we haven’t identified their effect upon us. When we “see” them for the first time, they become conscious, and we then make the decision either to change them or continue to follow them. These are mostly behavioral.
There are then the purely scientific things—such as the weight of an object, the temperature at which it melts, burns, or freezes—which are fairly constant or universally absolute, as you say. These are the solids, gases, minerals, and chemicals in their pure, unadulterated and uncombined forms. But even these factors are affected by humidity, altitude, temperature, and size of sample. To approach an absolute you have to be able to reproduce exactly every minute factor involved.
Once you start talking about physical beings, all bets are off as far as finding an absolute is concerned. No two human beings are identical, even identical twins once they are born and start living separate lives. Three factors influence the type of results you mention. First, how is the physical organism functioning? Second, does the person realize they have the ability to manifest influences on their physical body? And, thirdly, is there any lesson they agreed to experience that will affect numbers one or two?
If your body has absorbed toxic substances, it has toxic substances. If there is no lesson involved can you rid yourself of the toxins? Yes! Can you live with them and not get sick if you believe you will not get sick and don’t need to learn differently? Yes! Are the toxins not there just because you don’t know they are there? No!
So when we say there are no absolutes, we are referring to the journey of the soul on the mental, emotional, physical, and metaphysical planes.
