Good morning, afternoon dear Ones,
The combination of these two words came to me yesterday as I was reflecting on a society-changing event that occurred in 7th century France. A pact being broken, a dark alliance being formed and a king being murdered.
The Truth suddenly got diverted, disturbed or bifurcated. Civilization thought life would go the usual way and then another person, perhaps a group of people, decided otherwise.
I’m sure you’re getting the bifurcation metaphor and various examples may come to you. Some of them affect a whole country, the entire world, some are more personal in nature.
A few large scale events came to mind. The way the US got involved in the Vietnam war in the 1950s; the reason for the US invasion of Iraq in 2002.
Something got distorted—the truth or possibly Truth—and consequences followed; often times grim, devastating consequences.
Another small ‘bifurcation of truth’ happened so very strangely on our doorstep this morning. I found a little leaflet saying that “God loves us.” What it alluded to is the fact that we are all sinners and that, because of that sin, original or not, we became disconnected from God. A bifurcated truth promoted by the local Korean Presbyterian church….
It happens at every level of society, at every turn, I shall add, and I firmly believe that one day, this Truth with a capital T will get ‘rectified,’—for humanity as a whole.
As a gentle acknowledgment of my exploration, I found an exquisite picture as I entered Facebook yesterday.
It says,
“In due time …
The real will be separated from the fake …
Stay consistent.”

Stay consistent, and be steady, dear Ones.
This ‘due time’ is approaching … fast …
