Hopefully people who read your posts realize this and don't block themselves with the content you wrote in that particular time. As we grow and understand more, we realize the limited mindset we previously had.
I do believe there is an end to all this discovery though. There are relatives and absolutes (see
Why Do Intentions Take So Long to Manifest? (blog) for further discussion). Everything seems to be relative and kinda imply that there is nothing absolute, but I think the absolutes have to exist. I overuse this metaphor, but the absolutes are like math equations and the relatives are the unfolding of the equations in realtime. The equations never change, but how they show up in the x-y-z domain (wrt time) keeps changing. Once you figure out the absolutes from their relative appearances, you are done. However, now that you know the equation (metaphorically speaking), when you see the relative outcomes, you know why, how, etc.
Perhaps it is best to not speak at all until one hits the absolutes for sure so that the relatives one seee along the way and relays to others as if they are the absolutes won't mislead anyone. Or a big disclaimer that what is said might not be there just yet.
