ORIGINAL TEXT FROM THE BOOK
Truth is not comfortable. It does not adjust itself to preference, to belief, to expectation. It exists independently of interpretation. And seeking truth requires the ability to detach from what feels correct and align with what is structurally accurate. This is difficult because the system reinforces comfort. It rewards alignment with existing narratives, with accepted frameworks, with interpretations that maintain stability at the surface.
But stability built on distortion is temporary.
Seeking truth requires constant adjustment. The willingness to update perception as new patterns become visible. To discard beliefs that no longer align. To hold uncertainty without collapsing into simplification. This is not a one-time process. It is continuous.
Truth is not something found once.
It is something maintained.
And without it, every other law loses coherence.
