At the beginning of my journey
I wrote stories about Utopia.
I had planned it
To create a working society.
I had also destroyed that society.

I also was steeped in number theory
Throughout my tenure at High School.
I understood numbers are subjective
And are simply arbitrary placements---
Yet, when arranged they create symmetry
And patterns which can be predicted with absolute certainty.
I took Music Theory courses
And found that symmetry was on a piano;
I found that symmetry was in nature;
I fond that symmetry---later in life---
Was also in aesthetics.

Then, while sitting in my little guard shack,
Drinking excesses of Green Tea,
Air Conditioning blasting at its highest level,
I took a piece of string and a quarter
And I wrapped the string around the quarter.
Then I measured it.
It came out to about 3.14 inches.
I then realized Pi is the diameter of a circle
Whose circumference is one.

Later in life, I bought Euclid's Elements
And I studied them.
I found certainty within the principles
Of forming triangles,
And later I would study the Quadratic Equation
Picking it apart to see the formula and how it works.
I would then study the principles of Calculus
Then the principles of Phi, E and Pi.
Discovering within them axioms of truth.

I then discovered that same precision 
When reading William Wordsworth.
That he conveyed a precise meaning;
Yes it was layered in nuance,
It was layered in obscure names of places and people,
But it---with their associations of history---
It conveyed a certain message which was 
Undeniable. There could be no misinterpreting it
When the language was studied
And the words were taken for their meanings.

I then studied Confucius, Mozi, Lao Tsu,
Aristotle, Socrates, Plato,---
I read the mythologies of Greece
The mythologies of Britain,
The modern novels and literatures 
Of the last five hundred years.
I discovered within them were principles
That validated themselves through self evident
Evaluation. And the closer they came to self evident truth
The closer it resembled the LORD's.
For within the logic of these writers
Were the proofs of their arguments.
That within their essays, novels and poems
The self evident truths were proven.

Then I found that even when an artist was obscure
A meaning could be found.
I found when someone spoke
It could be understood
No matter how complex it was.
For truths are shared, and those same truths
Being shared prove a universality of truth.
That if one understands the truths
And if given the right amount of education and time.
The truths are there expressed
Regardless of whether someone understands them or not.
That truth is permanent, unwavering,
Existing outside of us, and only to be discovered.
That even within the meaning of words
The mere fact that they are comprehended
Validates an objective, metaphysical world
Bound to a material world.

I then discovered that in moral philosophy
The Golden Rule was paramount
And was itself a universal truth.
That it was persuasive above all other truth
And that from it, could be established a moral system.
Yet I also found disagreement---
Yet, in the disagreement there was a certain degree
Of Truth, that even if not expressed or persuaded
Presided over our conversation.
In effect, I found humans discover truths
Both moral and physical,
Yet there are truths they will not discover on their own.

It became clear to me, that if I were to be a Christian,
I must see if the truths discovered by these other philosophers
Lined up with the truths I found in the Bible.
And they always did. I found invisible strings
Of connective tissue linking all events in the world
To a moral philosophy which the great sages had observed.
Yet each of them were wrong in very specific ways
But only one man, Jesus Christ
Had discovered the whole of truth...
Even when He said, "I come not to bring peace, but the sword."
That there is a time when even good men must fight.

For overreaching all truths
Was that sin creates suffering in the world.
And that is why it is sin.
For the more people sin, the more people suffer,
Until cataclysmic shifts in societies, by wars and purges and pestilences
Created by belligerence or negligence 
Whether it be by the people's sociopathic aggression
Or their mistreatment of the soil to bring on famine or locuts,
Or their laziness which causes the environs to be foul and dirty
And thus creates disease.

For Thomas Jefferson said,
"We hold these truths to be self evident,"
And lo, truth is self evident.
For truth, if we tap into it,
Is a means to prevent the human race from suffering.
And if we tap into that truth,
We eerily find, more and more, it validates
The supreme command of scripture.
For the atheists say, "God cannot be Omniscient, 
"Omnibenevolent, Omnipresent, and Omnipotent."
They would be right, except if God Himself
Dwelt in Three Persons, which each could 
Attain to these attributes all at once
And exist separate, yet equal and also altogether one.

And I had found, in the end,
That my search ended with the Man Jesus Christ.
For what He lived, and died, and suffered,
And conquered, and raised from,
It is a story which resonates with the ages
And all of the knowledge of civilizations.
It all resonates, in a collective whole,
And when one takes all of man's theories
And cognitions, and ideas and bring them together---
As men collectively can pinpoint every truth all the time---
All of the mythologies, all of the knowledge,
All of the stories, the histories, the rapid shifts in mankind and their movements,
All knowledge, source and wisdom,
It all becomes hinged on the one fulcrum 
Of that Man Jesus Christ.
