It is fashionable among the philosophically effete to claim that anything is true only because it was postulated by someone to be true. Was that postulated to be true by someone? What would happen if someone postulated the opposite, that some things could be true that WEREN'T postulated to be true? Are postulates capable of creating 'truths'? Yes. Is that true because someone postulated it? Of course not, its an inherent ability in Source, the total knowingness. A thetan upon first waking may make postulates that parallel Sources inherent abilities for the sake of keeping his postulates aligned with What Is, but to then claim that What IS exists BECAUSE of those postulates is getting it backwards. The postulates exist because of the inherent abilities, not the other way around. The ability to postulate existed before any postulates were made about that ability. Therefore some things are true because we create them as true through postulates, and somethings are just true period. The difference of course is the difference between the actual WhatIs and the virtual WhatIs. Postulates can only create truth in the virtual reality, the actual reality exists and has its own truths regardless of any postulates made. One of those truths that exists in the actual reality regardless of any postulates made, is that postulates can create truths in the virtual reality. CERTAINTY is not a created truth in the virtual reality, it is an eternal truth in the actual reality. Just as one does not have to postulate that one can postulate before one can postulate, one does not have to postulate certainty in order to have certainty or operate it. Certainty comes as part and parcel of the very act of postulating anything in the virtual reality. Certainty shows you that it actually happened as you postlated it, its a form of checking out. Certainty connects the actual reality through the conscious unit to the virtual reality. It verifies that what was sourced from the actual reality through the conscious unit actually arrived and was manifested in the virtual reality. Certainty is part of the process of postulation and exists as potential ability before any postulates are made. Postulates can not be made without certainty, although later postulates can counter postulate that certainty and try to make postulates without certainty. Thus an inability to contact certainty, PERFECT certainty, is in fact an inability to contact the true fountainhead of Source, and what was postulated. Source does not take kindly to effete snobbery passing as wisdom and philosophy. You either get it right, or you don't get it. Basically certainty is the perception of an as-isness, and its concommittant alter-is's that keep it in a state of persisting truth. Without certainty, no as-isness can take place because it just isn't being fully viewed. One does not get to heaven on doubt, and one does not go free on uncertainty of uncertainty. Certainty of Certainty and Certainty of Uncertainty are the only way out.
