The Glorious Anomaly

If your cat or dog or other favorite pet suddenly started talking to you - on that one truly Weird Day -  first in small words that you understand, and later in sentences that actually made sense to you, and obviously made sense to the pet, would you consider that Anomalistic? Or Natural?
  • It could be quite Natural if it started occurring thousands or millions of years hence, but you would never know about it. It's certainly not occurring in our present generation, that's for certain!
  • It would be highly Anomalistic if it happened to you, say within the next few days or so. And then the fun would begin worldwide. Both of you would become celebrities, go on TV, be interviewed by David Letterman (the "stupid pet trick" guy, who'd very likely have to rename your segment to "SMART Pet Tricks") and you would become RICH beyond imagination putting it and yourself on display for the rest of the doubting world. Well... at least until the the Powers-That-Be would take your pet for "further study" and you'd probably never see it again.
Got all that?

Now, similarly, if, on one weird day, you started SPEAKING THE TRUTH without concern, without reservation, without shame, or guilt, or even a hint of LYING THROUGH YOUR TEETH, as is ordinarily the case - come on, you can see that right? - would you consider that Anomalistic? Or Natural? See above.

What's funny, is that you seriously believe your pets do NOT converse with you at all (and no, Virginia, if they can't give you a proper review of "Django Unchained", they can NOT converse with you), but that you just as seriously believe you DO SPEAK THE TRUTH already, any time you choose, and that "All I have to do is open my mouth and/or put pen to paper, and then proceed to Say What I know. Hey, I'm no liar!" (Come on, you can see that right?)

Does anyone see the strangeness here, or the weirdness?

You would NEVER believe there are actually animals on this planet who talk to humans (even with easily accessible YouTubes), but you IMMEDIATELY believe there are people on this planet who DO speak the truth, and you can even name a few (including yourself... at least sometimes???)

Ok, now for the issue-at-large looming in the room. What do you think or believe might be required, for you to begin SPEAKING THE TRUTH, unwaveringly, unashamedly, without concern, without reservation? You already "KNOW FOR CERTAIN" that it is "possible", but just try to write down in words and sentences that could be posted publicly for all the world to see, just how you accomplished that "trick", or "feat of intellectual discourse", or whatever you'd like to call it. Just TRY.

I know I would love to read it, we all would.
(waiting... waiting... waiting...)

ps- I shouldn't even write this, but thinking, "Well I could do that, but I don't WANT to." is NOT even a  proper response to this challenge, except to a childish thinker who has learned NOTHING! If you COULD do it - SPEAK THE TRUTH - you WOULD do it. And OFTEN. And that's a fact jack. And believe me, it would be GLORIOUS!

pps- I shouldn't have to write this either, but thinking that "SPEAKING THE TRUTH" has anything whatsoever to do with reporting so-called "facts" you got 2nd or 3rd or 33rd hand from books, TV, radio, Internet, your all-but-broken "memory" of past experiences or conversations, or anywhere else, is in any way related to "SPEAKING THE TRUTH"... well... good grief if you do, that's all I can say.

ppps- In case you are still wondering, there is only ONE THING of which a person can SPEAK THE TRUTH, and knowing what that "ONE THING" is, is standing in the Doorway to the Ultimate Escape Hatch, that is this "Glorious Anomaly."

Got all that?
