Philosophy:

- "Truth is the truth"

- Try to look past the illusions that others are encompassed in.

- Being: Truth, principle, life, love

- Declare independence from thinking

- Truth is the direction to life

- Light permeates from darkness

- Chaos always becomes orderly

- Take the high road

and always keep on truckin'
