Notes
for the changes we perceive, no perception of pattern could justify the absence of absolute order; anything without absolute order is absolutely disordered. Because the integrity-there-is cannot be relied on to provide that we live meaningful lives, it is no integrity at all; it has no relationship to any absolute order in the universe. We cannot know.� This is a world in which truth is intellectual�the world must change because ideas must be allowed to change when needed. This is accompanied by a conscious or unconscious suspicion that there is a better argument, but with the defense that that argument couldn�t possibly relate to the truth. So the Intellectual-Subjective has four qualities based on its aspects above: 1. Truth is relative 2. Language is meaningless 3. Consequently, the self is also meaningless 4. Nothing has meaning relative to meaninglessness, and none of the little deaths of meaning amount to anything except a suggestion of the meaningless quality of the whole.

The most telling element of our second choice is �We are what we perceive� (God changes). In this case the subjective-perceiver must not believe that his perceptions are a form of knowledge. This may involve a form of denial, a resistance to the harsh realities perceived; truth becomes something without the qualities of truth, because it isn�t allowed to resemble the most outstanding examples. Or it may be a matter of being conflicted between two things which seem true by themselves but for personal reasons couldn�t be part of the same unified reality. Generally, this second world is one in which truth is emotional�the world must change because feelings conflict with one another. The Emotional Subjective has four qualities: 1. Emotions must fluctuate to have meaning 2. What isn�t emotional isn�t true 3. Lies are true when emotions are in question 4. Because Time must be an emotion to be important, the truth about how something changes is that it becomes something new, not how it relates to the past or the future, or any line of inquiry.

In the third case the subjective-perceiver is preoccupied with his own apparent immortality, but doesn�t see this as a truth in the world. Because of the final claim �We are what we perceive (the World dies),� we can say that in this case truth is material�the world must change because matter is chaotic. 

The fourth case states that God is Death (God changes), suggesting that God is Change itself. It also states that �We are what we perceive (the soul is Immortal),� suggesting that the Soul does not perceive change. So the fourth case is one in which truth is immortal, and yet the self, whether it is immortal or not, does not perceive it. So in this case, the subject does not perceive his own enduring quality, or simply does not endure. These are cases in which truth is not-truth, or the subject doesn�t know what truth is.

We can discard the third and fourth cases because we aren�t concerned with material worlds or with non-truths and dis-beliefs.
