Truth and Falsehood in Hebrew: 🌀 A Secret in Plain Sight. (More relevant now than in a long time...)steemCreated with Sketch.

in #fakenews8 years ago (edited)


Some people believe that truth, and by consequence, falsehood, 

are subjective concepts developed by each individual or group. They might argue that "There are 2 truths to every argument..." Others disagree, and feel they know that truth and falsehood are objective, defined not by the 2 perspectives of the arguers, but rather, as if Nature, or an omniscient, and perfectly unbiased, inphiknit databank, were the observer of the argument...


How might such a Force define truth and falsehood?

How could it leave a clue to their meanings without the need for a dictionary or an ongoing, direct comm link?

The ancient Hebrew word for truth is: 

                                                                                                                     אמת

It is pronounced "Emet."


The word for falsehood, or lie, is: 

                                                                                                                     שקר 

"Sheker." (Read Hebrew from right to left.)


The Sages teach that should we take a moment to look, we can 

immediately see that each of the letters of the word אמת, stand on their own 2 feet, and exist above the line, where they can be seen entirely. That the truth is firm, and lives over space and time, despite any שקר falsehood thrown against it... Because as the letters of this word שקר, each stand on one foot, and are heavy on one side (bias), they want to fall under their own weight, just as falsehood only lasts when someone supports it... The ק also reaches below the line, perhaps an allusion to אמת being hidden, or the innate deceptiveness of שקר...


The Hebrew Aleph-Bet has 27 letters (when we include the 5 

letters with 2 forms.) Aleph א is the first letter, Mem מ  is the 14th and middle letter, and Tav ת is the 27th, or last letter.

This means that truth אמת spans the entire aleph-bet, or all that 

is. The letters of truth uphold and sustain the others. Where like pillars, each letter stoically stands alone, regardless of the fact that the other letters of the word אמת are as far away as possible, because they know that they are connected. That the energy of the whole aleph-bet, language, and even the entire universe is anchored by truth... Whereas with falsehood שקר, one lie must inevitably and immediately lead to another and another, in order to hold each other up, just as the letters of שקר are next to each other in the aleph-bet. (Letters 24-26 of aleph-bet.) And being almost last in the aleph-bet, שקר is nearly as far away from א (oneness) as can be...


It may seem simple and obvious that Emet אמת and Sheker שקר 

should be the words for truth and falsehood, but do I really believe it when I tell a lie? Can such proofs or concepts ever matter to regular people, or even to psychopathic liars or their organizations? Will we together, those with power and those without, eventually all realize that only truth can possibly survive, simply because; 

Truth אמת Is, What Is...



With great thanks to Rav Mordechai Kraft, who thanks Rav Akiva, for the basis of this Teaching. (Gemara Shabbos, Talmud.) 

For the sake of אמת, forever in the world...

Thanks For Your Attention and Support! 

P.S. This is a 100% S.P. post!

Melech ben Chaya מלך בן חיה, @inphiknit

Sort:  

That's incredibly deep and thought provoking, thank you.

You're most welcome^^ But i merely transmitted it :)

Interesting. Is this Kabbala - I remember it in that movie Pi?

Kabbalah means "to receive." What are we trying to receive when we break open the words of Hebrew? The hidden light inside them. (Creator spoke Creation into existence.) Kabbalah also refers to the "Sod" or secrets of the Torah and Hebrew, so yes, I'd say it is one of the techniques used!

Pi was my first intro to gematria as well^^
Thank God!

I hope to B"H begin sharing some more of this stuff soon...

Cool I have started following as I find it fascinating to learn of these sorts of things. Also it has given me a yearning to watch Pi again. Can you believe it is 18 years old now?

Oh I didn't realize it was that old now! (Guess I'm aging too!) I should also rematch it, now that I'm into this stuff, maybe there are more secrets...

This stuff sure is fascinating. Bold claim, but learn enough and at some point it'll click; "this language isn't made by man... OMG..."

Am working on figuring out how to share this info in a logical way, and how to arrange a series of posts...

Thank for your support and interest, I'm very curious what people think...
(Am following you too now.)

Lol looks like we are both getting old!

I am skeptical about the religious angle but who knows for sure? What fascinates me about these things is the human belief system component and also the philosophical aspects. I suppose we all have our own motivations and interests:)

All the best and look forward to more insights:)

I'm right with you... I wasn't raised religious, and had my own beliefs. Problem came when it clicked for me, in a statistical sense, and belief was corrected and turned to scientific knowledge... I will partially explain in a post I'm just finishing up now...

Very interesting! This is very useful knowledge.

I'm so pleased you find it interesting and useful! Thanks!
P.S. Nice name!

This is fascinating and very instructive. Thank you for taking the time to describe this for us! ;)

My honour and pleasure to share, you're welcome!
B"H there is more to come!
