"I was just watching The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer on CNN, and listening to what Michael Moore was saying brought a tear to my eye. The political section that starts on page 135 of The Present (with religion) says the same thing the Michael Moore movies say, only it gives all the details of exactly how to reform our political system." - Julia R.

 

"The section in The Present that shows the hidden message in the Beatles' songs is a revelation and a must read." - beatles fan

 

"I agree that women need to run things in order to stop the wars." - TC

 

"It was great to hear those Beatles songs. The hidden message is obvious now. The Beatles section in The Present is great." - ww

 

"The Present is the most amazing book I have read. I will link it to my blog and spend some money advertising it. I wish I could do more. Everyone should read it and promote it as much as they can. If enough people do, it will change everything." - Gabe

 

"The Present could unite all religions, all countries and all people." - Ruth

 

"People are misinterpreting the Bible. If you want to know what Jesus is actually saying go to page 21 in The Present (with religion). When discussing the truth with people that are into Christianity, just tell them to go right to page 21 to find out what Jesus is really saying. I think it is the most important page, because it shows clearly what Jesus actually says. Every Christian should read it. It proves without a doubt that Christianity has been misinterpreting him." - Anonymous

 

"I skimmed over the new entry you sent me last night and honestly my first impression was to cringe a little, because itreminded me so much of the texts I had to read as a philosophy major. I think it is over intellectualized and the truth is much simpler to read. I just don't think that people can fathom how simple it is. The Present is perfect in all its flaws. I can't describe it; it just is, crappily written and all." - JJ

 

"I'm just randomly skipping around The Present and reading, taking it all in.   This book is just incredible.  If people actually took the time to read it, I'm sure their perspective on life would change, causing them to wake up to the truth and the life.  It's baffling how more people don't care about learning the truth and the life.  It is the only thing that really matters, the only thing that we can always have.   It just shows how asleep people are right now.   Hopefully, the work we are doing spreading this contest will get people interested before something terrible happens.  A catastrophe would certainly get people interested in the truth, but spiritual people like us are more than prepared for such a thing, and we will not get caught up in the social upheaval.  Our work spreading and defining the truth could possibly prevent a catastrophe; especially one caused by us.   We are like beacons of light, radiating the truth and the life to all those who want to see it, but we cannot help those who do not want to be helped.  Spreading this contest is the most worthwhile thing I can even imagine spending my time doing." - Jethro Tull

 

"You are taught to study in school, but most people forget how important it is to learning and just read books now. The Present needs to be studied. Make notes of what you do not understand or agree with. Ask questions, do your own research. Just treat it like something you studied in school and need to write a paper on or take a test. You did it many times in school to learn things you have not needed in real life. Just do it one more time with these books to learn something that will really make a difference in your life.

The real reason you were taught to study in school was for books like these in the real world, about the real world, not just to succeed at work and in business. You want to get an "A" on this test, because the ultimate success depends on it." - FX

 

"TRUTH is still TRUTH even if no one believes it.
A LIE is still a LIE even if everyone believes it." - TF

 

"The logical premise (or basic proposition or axiom) of ‘The Present (with religion)’, is that everything in reality is God. It then follows from the obvious fact that our consciousness (including our sense of Self) is part of reality, that God must be total consciousness. And since we are ultimately nothing but consciousness, it must be concluded that we (or our personal realities) are a part of God.

If true, this actually would be the simplest model of reality possible! All of reality is just one (conscious) entity, or God. Thus(according to ‘Occam’s razor’), it would necessarily be the absolute Truth. Hence, I like it very much :)" - PP

 

"What makes The Present fundamentally different than all the other things about truth out there is it doesn't just reveal the problems, it reveals the solutions too. There are hundreds if not thousands of Internet sites and books that contain the truth about our growing problems, but just this one has the practical simple and certain solution. It is important to know the problems, but more important to know the true solution to those problems. As the book points out, it is not religion, or types of government, though they do play a part, it is the ultimate truth, the universal truth, the complete truth, and The Present with or without religion contains it.

 

The best thing is it is free, here, and anyone can click on it and read, and check if what it says is true for themselves. There are no valid excuses now. We have what we need to fix ourselves and this world, and we can start right now." - Gary

 

"I liked The Truth (with religion) with a reference to the issue that the Supreme Being may be providing the truth in various texts like the Bhagavad Gita and the Bible, but when mankind come along and misinterpret the information coming from the Supreme (and I'm inserting our own Krishna Conscious interpretation here) then what to do? Krishna makes some clear statements in Bhagavad Gita and further points are explained in the Bhagavat Purana. Unfortunately humans come along with their own petty ideas and personal motivations lacking spiritual purity, and then can't hear the real truth. If there is a supreme being it seems reasonable to assume that he / she / it would share the most valuable information with us, for our improvement. Why not? The supreme being would want us to understand everything that it is possible for us to know. In the Vedic and Vaishnava understanding, God wants us to return to our original position as pure loving beings, but now we're caught up in lower animal-like propensities. We are rejecting the wisdom coming from God. The reason for this, it is explained, is that we all want to be little 'gods', we all want to be the Main Man, the Numero Uno, in various subtle or gross ways." - Tim | Lake Isle Retreats

 

"Good article on The Truth and the Present...I made me question how I can live in the Present and what The Truth actually is..." - Matt

 

"There is not a sentence in this writing that I would disagree with, but I think before anyone can get to the point of accepting we are all connected, collective consciousness, universal knowledge, that we are all spiritual beings, etc. people must first understand the difference between the body, brain, mind, and spirit.  From childhood, we are taught so many falsehoods by our parents, friends, teachers, and religions, that we do not understand or know the how and why of why we react or perceive things like we do.  One also needs to know the difference between religion and spirituality.  We are so wrapped up in this three dimensional, five sense world that we come to believe that is all there is.  Truth should consciously be in the forefront of our being, but one cannot learn truth until they learn that truth lies not only deep within the energy that gives us life, but outside of us, and every thought and intent we have not only affects us, but everyone else.  Truth is not just a product of what we have been told or what we have experienced.  Truth just is, but spirituality is the road to learning and understanding its very essence.  Life in this physical realm is nothing more then a pathway to the next realm, a transition of energy into another form.  We must open our minds to all possibilities and question what even appears impossible or invisible.  In knowing the difference between brain and mind, only then can we accept all there is on both a conscious and subconscious level.  One must understand that everything is energy and that energy is the truth.  There is only the Creator and the created but out of the one comes the other and all are the same." - Joyce Richey

"I think finding a truth that everyone agrees is true is the only way to unite everyone.

I also think the contest is the perfect way to do it." - Ted

 

"I will do what I can to help spread the ultimate truth to all I know and love." - DC

 

"I applaud your efforts in reaching the entire world population to discern the Whole Truth. I sincerely hope this proves to be a real tool in Building the Bridges across so much that divides one culture from another. It is my deepest belief that we are all ONE. However, I am not sure that in language we can come to one understanding of what TRUTH is. I look forward to the unfolding of this mission, with faith that all is in Divine Order."
- Rev. Carla Ivison | Founder, A World Alliance of Interfaith Clergy

 

"This search for truth is an important endeavor. Thanks for providing this forum. I am encouraged that the mission states: “Entries are evaluated using the evidence, critical reason, logic, common sense, and scientific methods. We are looking for the kind of truth you can check.” These criteria recognize that popularity, including voting, is not reliable evidence. Instead it is called the fallacy of Ad populum—appeal to the people—it is the fallacy of accepting something as fact simply because many other people also believe it to be true. Aristotle developed the rules of logic more than 2,300 years ago. They are essential to learn, know, and apply. No counter examples or exceptions to these rules have ever been found, and there is no more reliable indicator of truth." - Lee Beaumont

 

"I spent a lot of time (as did my assistant) on your website and felt it was very much in line with my view point on things.  I love that there are many flavors of truth presented as one of the sayings that I learned years ago that still works for me is that there is My Truth, Your Truth and The Truth.  And that The Truth is ever expanding so that if you lock into Truth today, you will close out the expansion of tomorrow.  Your site carries Truth on many different levels offering most everyone viewpoints and feelings that work for each individual.  It is wonderful." - Janet Richmond
