Truth, beauty, change, and essence


Can we say truth is about what does not change? There's a problem with that. Things always change and evolve. So perfect objectivity seems dubious. Real truth includes change. Even when Godhood is attained in material evolution, life moves on and evolves to higher Godhood, endlessly it seems.

"Beauty" works the same way. Rather than say that beauty is the most characteristic of the species, it might be better to say that beauty is the synthesis of the particular species at various levels of evolution. Godhood could then be seen as the most perfect syntheses of life itself at the highest stages of evolution at any given stage of evolution.

Only humans think in terms of beginnings and endings because we see ourselves ending and beginning, at least as individuals.

So then we come to the "essence " of life which seems to be the activation to life within life, called many things, the will, the spirit, the soul, the spirit-will, or Tirips as I have come to call it, which is entirely material and works along with the outside material natural world in which life evolves. Yet even this essence has the changing goal of activating life toward Godhood, endlessly.
