Gravity, Truth

I’m very far from being scientifically minded or knowledgeable but anyway, allowing for my ignorance, think of gravity, and where from a centre of gravity a force is ceaselessly exerted drawing surrounding physical phenomena to itself. Each physical phenomenon has its own centre of gravity, but the greater the mass the greater the force, and of course here it is the earth itself and its gravitational pull that is the determining factor that regulates and makes possible the system of balance where life can stability can dwell and prosper. Without this centre obviously there is chaos. I don’t know if it can be spoken of precisely from where this gravitational force is being exerted, the location where this mysterious, invisible pull towards itself emanates, but anyway it’s obvious enough roughly what I’m talking about here,

From there then onto truth as a whole. Why are things true? In the physical sense; in the broader intellectual sense, from the intrinsic truth of language whereby we can communicate intelligently to each other; the intrinsic truth of mathematics, and from where all kinds of depths flow into seamless relation to the wider universe; and onto moral truths, and deeper again. Just as with gravity, all these individual truths of life, aren’t just floating around in some kind of hazy neutral environment. The reason, with gravity, we have stability in the earthly domain, is the gravitational pull of the earth towards itself, and thus things aren’t floating around aimlessly and chaotically. The same with truth as a whole. There is an immense pull towards truth in the greatest sense, and without this ceaseless pull, it would be that chaos. 

I don’t want to go on too long so I’ll try to make more short points rather than argue this out. This can’t just be some abstract, hazy force. This is an enormous exertion. Why is it so powerful. The centre of this immense force isn’t simply a force, it’s the person of God. That’s where all this truth emanates, and where it is being drawn to. Just as with the earth though and its gravitational pull also including each lesser physical phenomenon having its own centre of gravity within that greater balancing field of energy, we are granted free will and have our own “gravitational pull” in terms of freedom of movement. We are not coerced into obedience or enslavement to the centre of truth, just as we have within limits, freedom of physical movement on the earth, even while the earth’s gravitational centre and force provides stability.
