CHAOS

It has been said that all we have been taught on Earth are lies and half-truths.  Therefore, in order to learn, we must first “unlearn”.  To discover Who You Really Are, you must first “unlearn” the false ideas of “YOU” into which you have been tricked, coerced or indoctrinated to accept as “truth”.   When “truth” has been stripped away, what remains is “you”.

— Lawrence R. Spencer —

[Middle English essencia and French essence, both from Latin essentia, from esse, to be, from the presumed present participle *essns, *essent- (on the model of differentia, difference, from differns, different-, present participle of differre, to differ), created to translate Greek ousi (from ousa, feminine present participle of einai, to be); see es- in Indo-European roots.]
