Like Indiana, he went on many adventures, only to find that the Holy Grail he sought served him sand, not everlasting life.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;There are primarily three ways men have sought the &lt;em&gt;Truth&lt;/em&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;ul&gt;&#10;&lt;li&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;Religion (The way of the Heart)&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;/li&gt;&#10;&lt;li&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;Science (The way of the Mind)&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;/li&gt;&#10;&lt;li&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;Hedonism (The way of the Body)&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;/li&gt;&#10;&lt;/ul&gt;</description></item><item><title>Auguries of Vikidness</title><link>https://thevikidtruth.com/writing/auguries-of-vikidness/</link><pubDate>Mon, 30 Sep 2024 04:27:48 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://thevikidtruth.com/writing/auguries-of-vikidness/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;He had spent such a long time searching for answers that at some point he figured out he’d forgotten the question.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="https://thevikidtruth.com/assets/auguries-of-vikidness/5bd910391657.jpeg" alt=""&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;The questions made no sense to him anymore. Each question presupposed what it was asking.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Where did we come from?&lt;/strong&gt; Presupposes a bunch of things, &lt;em&gt;an origin point,&lt;/em&gt; for one. And if we pointed to some location on the globe, or in a distant star cluster, what would it actually mean?&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>The Vikid Experience</title><link>https://thevikidtruth.com/writing/the-vikid-experience/</link><pubDate>Mon, 16 Sep 2024 04:12:21 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://thevikidtruth.com/writing/the-vikid-experience/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="https://thevikidtruth.com/assets/the-vikid-experience/424ee34b27a4.jpeg" alt=""&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;Sometimes Vikid found it hard to write. Words are a medium and all mediums have their limitation. For example he could talk about &lt;em&gt;redness&lt;/em&gt; &lt;em&gt;but there was no red in the words.&lt;/em&gt; For the reader to understand what he was saying, they would have had to have the experience at least once before.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;And what of Love?&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;God?&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;What of Multidimensionality?&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;Universes out side of this one?&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;And yet within it?&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;What of pure consciousness?&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;Uncluttered by thought.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;Those things were hard to write about.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description></item><item><title>The Sermon of The Vikid Truth</title><link>https://thevikidtruth.com/writing/the-sermon-of-the-vikid-truth/</link><pubDate>Fri, 24 Mar 2023 16:19:05 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://thevikidtruth.com/writing/the-sermon-of-the-vikid-truth/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="https://thevikidtruth.com/assets/the-sermon-of-the-vikid-truth/baef7e34f91d.jpeg" alt=""&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;Being rebellious came naturally to &lt;strong&gt;The Vikid Truth.&lt;/strong&gt; It started when he was young, if anyone told him to do something that didn’t make sense, he had a tendency to either not do it or do the opposite.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;And so it went for many years. And many mistakes were made, for Vikid hadn’t yet realized that he doesn’t know everything and on balance and by nature we, humans, usually believe in things that don’t make any sense at all.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>The Many Faces of Vikid</title><link>https://thevikidtruth.com/writing/the-many-faces-of-vikid/</link><pubDate>Wed, 30 Nov 2022 09:30:03 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://thevikidtruth.com/writing/the-many-faces-of-vikid/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="https://thevikidtruth.com/assets/the-many-faces-of-vikid/d4f03ba3b8a3.webp" alt=""&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;Vikid had been writing profusely, weeks upon weeks, the words just flowed but finally was he running out of material?&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;He had spent a considerable amount of time learning about Near Death Experiences (NDE’s). It was a topic worth expressing and exploring but first he wanted to have a few words on God.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;The night before was glorious 3-0 for his team at the World Cup. The beer tasted good and the mood was better. Everyone was laughing and having a blast.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>The Trickster of Truth</title><link>https://thevikidtruth.com/writing/the-trickster-of-truth/</link><pubDate>Fri, 18 Nov 2022 03:47:59 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://thevikidtruth.com/writing/the-trickster-of-truth/</guid><description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;Man is born free, and everywhere he is in chains.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;Or so said Jean-Jacques Rousseau.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;Vikid was on his favorite armchair, contemplating these words when &lt;strong&gt;The Trickster of Truth&lt;/strong&gt;, also know as &lt;strong&gt;Tot&lt;/strong&gt; appeared. He was a slippery creature, ever changing in shape. Sometimes animal, sometimes machine, at others just a voice from the dead.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;Thanks for reading The Vikid Truth!

It felt like a movie. British politics devolving to Comedy.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;h3 id="were-facts-just-as-subjective"&gt;Were Facts just as Subjective?&lt;/h3&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;Vikid had heard from several people, they had told him that Rishi is disliked by Conservatives because of his race.

That sentence can be increased by half for owners of anonymous social media accounts.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;Coming to the U.K. soon.” @BernieSpofforth&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="https://thevikidtruth.com/assets/the-truth/66cfa1431f32.jpeg" alt=""&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;So this looks like something that might be coming to a jurisdiction near you.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Truth is getting wicked.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;Enjoy your “freedom” while it lasts.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Vikid-Energy</title><link>https://thevikidtruth.com/writing/vikid-energy/</link><pubDate>Tue, 29 Sep 2020 07:21:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://thevikidtruth.com/writing/vikid-energy/</guid><description>&lt;h6 id="please-remember-to-load-images-in-your-email-app"&gt;(Please remember to ‘Load Images’ in your email app!)&lt;/h6&gt;&#10;&lt;h2 id="chameleons"&gt;Chameleons&lt;/h2&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;I have been everything from a card carrying &lt;strong&gt;Communist&lt;/strong&gt; (without the card) to an &lt;strong&gt;Anarcocapitalist&lt;/strong&gt; (cards not included) and almost all the nuances in between. I have held such beliefs both strongly and weakly, sometimes with great enthusiasm and at others with out much care in the world.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;I have lived as a pauper student, without money for food (I spent it on other pleasures!) and I have lived in the world of business, operating in economies ranging from advanced-structured to ones a little more &lt;em&gt;laissez-faire&lt;/em&gt;, where rules &amp;amp; ethics are looked at more like &lt;em&gt;nice-to-have accessories&lt;/em&gt;, than anything that needs to be followed. What’s more I have read a fair amount of history and academic analysis from a number of different points of view and motivations.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>The Vikid Principles</title><link>https://thevikidtruth.com/writing/the-vikid-principles/</link><pubDate>Sun, 20 Sep 2020 08:29:56 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://thevikidtruth.com/writing/the-vikid-principles/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Vikid Principles&lt;/strong&gt; is a book I wanted to write for several years but for one reason or the other the idea wouldn’t solidify over something substantial. That is until now. The mind is a machine that likes to over complicate everything and my mind has been on hyper-drive for several years now.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;What I realized is that &lt;strong&gt;The Vikid Principles doesn’t need to be a book…&lt;/strong&gt; but &lt;em&gt;I’ve wanted to be ‘author’&lt;/em&gt; for my entire adult life and that meant &lt;em&gt;“writing a book”&lt;/em&gt;. I was forcing myself into an unnecessary position.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>On Becoming a Hero</title><link>https://thevikidtruth.com/writing/on-becoming-a-hero/</link><pubDate>Fri, 07 Aug 2020 18:34:49 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://thevikidtruth.com/writing/on-becoming-a-hero/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;I’ve read two amazing books this year (&lt;a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Cant-Hurt-Me-Master-Your/dp/1544512279/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?dchild=1&amp;amp;keywords=goggins&amp;#43;cant&amp;#43;hurt&amp;#43;me&amp;amp;qid=1596809833&amp;amp;sprefix=goggins&amp;amp;sr=8-1" rel="noopener"&gt;Can’t Hurt Me&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Art-Resilience-Ross-Edgley/dp/000835698X/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?dchild=1&amp;amp;keywords=ross&amp;#43;edgley&amp;#43;art&amp;#43;of&amp;#43;resilience&amp;amp;qid=1596809893&amp;amp;sprefix=ross&amp;amp;sr=8-1" rel="noopener"&gt;The Art of Resilience&lt;/a&gt; ) that have convinced me to attempt something heroic. Ah the dreams to become a hero, every child to have ever lived has had these dreams.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;My first dreams were of Lord Krishna. A character you should explore no matter what your religion or belief system. He is a God like no other and The Bhagvat Gita a book like no other. The Mahabharata, so complex and deep, a vision of immense clarity. But by the age of 4 or 5 I had moved on to Superman. I donned on the famous red and blue leotard and zoomed all around my neighborhood. Delightful!&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Opposite Thinking</title><link>https://thevikidtruth.com/writing/opposite-thinking/</link><pubDate>Mon, 22 Jun 2020 05:21:54 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://thevikidtruth.com/writing/opposite-thinking/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;I want you to consider a practice. A practice that can be done at any time and at any place, a practice that can actually be made so automatic that it is done subconsciously at the speed of thought itself.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;It is the practice of Opposite Thinking. It will open new dimensions in your mind, it will literally make you feel godly amongst mortal humans, who go around forward thinking only. For if you think yourself a normal human, opposite thinking can make you a god and vice versa.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
