AΛHΘEIA, ALITHEIA
TRUTH
In Ancient Greek   
By Gabriel Chiron

         

Alitheia in Ancient Greek means not merely ”Truth” as we think of it in English.  It means literally, un-covered, dis-covered, discovery, unveiled.  Martin Heidegger saw the significance of this and went into it at length in his book, Parmenides.  I want to go into it even more deeply.

 

In a time like the present where propaganda, disinformation and psy-ops are being constantly and heavily utilized to dupe the masses in America, Britain and Europe (throughout the entire English-speaking world), truth of government wrong-doing, abuse-of-power and do-it-yourself-false-flag-terrorism, is constantly covered-up and needs uncovered, alitheia.  The English word, Truth, etymologically connects to the same root as trust, which implies hypnotic states, conditioning and belief.  In English, truth is merely what people firmly believe, have faith in.  In the English-speaking world, whatever people believe without question, without inquiry and investigation, is supposed to be “Truth”.  This is the underlying sociolinguistic tendency.  The very meaning of “Truth” in English is whatever the stupid masses are manipulated to believe by their government so their government can successfully cover-up, litheia, with lies. 

 

In Ancient Greece, the Truth, Alitheia, is the Truth-That-Comes-Out, the Uncovered Truth, as a result of successful investigation of the cover-up, the lies and illusions of the time.  Truth, Alitheia, is finding out what is really going on, what has really happened.  Truth, Alitheia, in Ancient Greece, is a disillusionment, an awakening from common mass belief.  But in the modern world of government cover-up, Truth-That-Uncovers-The-Facts is always called a “Conspiracy Theory” in the sense of a “crank belief of people who want to disrupt society”.  This is the tendency in Ancient Greece which itself culminated in the martyrdom of Socrates.  Socrates, like Parmenides, was a devotee of Alitheia, the Goddess of Truth, the Goddess of Uncovering Real Truth.  It was not merely Socrates who was martyred in Athens, but Alitheia, the Goddess of Uncovering, of Discovery.  The present governments of America and Britain are working very hard to kill Alitheia, Uncovered Truth, yet again and again.

 

When a pattern of belief, a worldview or paradigm, is socially constructed as a “reality” in the human brain, it will reject unpleasant facts that do not fit the constructed pseudo-reality.  Learning happens when through investigation the constructed pseudo-reality pattern in the cognitive system is broken down into its elements, which can then be reconfigured to include previously rejected unpleasant facts, which leads to a new paradigm.  Periodic paradigm-shifting from time to time, even from the new paradigm to the new new paradigm, is the learning process as opposed to the mere cumulative effort of only building up the present paradigm with reinforcing facts that seem to fit the current belief.

 

Philosophical expressions that do not entail paradigm-shifting through extensive and profound inquiry and investigation, which is a manifested learning process, are false philosophy.  Any rigid belief or disbelief in the name of “philosophy” is a farce, an actual failure to philosophize.  Real questioning of a belief or disbelief is the resurrection of Alitheia, the Ancient-Greek-Goddess-of-Dynamic-Truth-as- Discovery-and-Real-Learning.

 

Real philosophy is a very rare thing on the Earth at this time because it has become equated with cynical post-modern scientific materialism as a mediocre anti-metaphysical position, a rigid paradigm, a disbelief system.  These modern pseudo-philosophers are the new priesthood of what Robert Anton Wilson calls, The New Inquisition.  Take a look around you.  Who do you know who really questions the obvious cover-ups and lies of the government and the mass-media?  Who do you know who really thinks, who has genuine philosophical inquiry, who has a real learning process, who wants to renew cosmological and ontological metaphysics beyond beliefs and disbeliefs?

 

Take a look around you.  Really look.  Who is not brain-dead, just mindlessly staring in a dreamy state of anxious hedonism without depth, without inquiry or higher human development of awareness, intuition and extrasensory perception?  Who do you know who is searching for the real history of Earth and humanity or the full cosmic facts of extraterrestrial humanities?  Take a real look at the hypnotized zombies all around you, including those you are personally attached to.  Have you not painfully noticed how flat and boring, superficial and gossipy, most of your family, friends and associates are?  It is like they all want to be assimilated by the Borg so as to avoid even the possibility of waking-up real thinking, individuality and spiritual evolution.  They are conformist biological robots who are happily allowing their unused “civil liberties” to be removed by their criminally insane government for the sake of collective pseudo-security on a planet destined to suffer catastrophic loss of petrol/gasoline coupled with runaway global warming.

 

Everywhere all around us is a numb and thoughtless humanity drifting stupidly and heedlessly into mass destruction at the hands of government and the mass media.  Philosophy is dying; originary thinking is not being attempted.  Anxious, tense and blind materialistic selfishness is everywhere lurching into chaos and destruction.  Good thinking and good work are being replaced by nastiness, resentment and corrupt escapism.  The average person is losing it, losing whatever was there of intelligence and Spirit.  Neurotic and psychotic behavior are on the increase.

 

The Ancient Greek meaning of Truth as Alitheia, the Uncovered, naked Goddess of Truth, is about a passionate inquiry into the real trends of human life and consciousness.  Wake it up in yourself with total intensity or you will just go increasingly into the meaningless hell of the stupid masses.  If you have enough going for you to read my words, why not take the greater step you now need to take?
