“What is truth then? A mobile army of metaphors, metonomies, anthropomorphisms, in short a sum of human relations that are elevated, transmitted, beautified in a poetic or rhetoric manner, and that appear to the people after a long usage as fixed, canonical and binding: truths are illusions of which one has forgotten they are illusions, metaphors that are worn out and literally became powerless, coins that lost their images and are now metal and no longer coins.” (On Truth and Lie in the Extramoral Sense) Nietzsche
This quote shows why Nietzsche was the father of Postmodern philosophy. Nietzsche is here speaking not of truths, as he suggests, but of metaphors, metonomies and anthropomorphisms. Truths are seen in reconciling the forms of wisdom in the Primordial Tradition, from Hyperborea to the Hindus, from Zoroastrians to Plato, Aristotle, the Christian Fathers, the Classical philosophers, Chinese philosophy, the Renaissance, the Kabbalah of Judaism, occult philosophy, Islam, and now modern science. Truths are seen in the deeper unity of these forms of wisdom, which is not syncretism. This is the unity now found in uniting the Involutionary Inward Path with the Evolutionary Outward Path of material/supermaterial evolution to Godhood. These Two Paths unite modern science and Primordial Tradition in theological materialism and the Revitalized-Conservatism of the Evolutionary Christian Church. Yet Perfect Truth, Perfect Beauty and Perfect Goodness define Godhood, as wisdom traditions teach, and we will not define Perfect Truth correctly until we evolve from the material to supermaterial Godhood.
