There is a certain Truth Garden which neither denies the existence of higher understanding nor affirms it, but lives in a perpetual state of experience of its own desires. This garden is not nihilistic or subjectivist, but simply is caught up in life so much that it just doesn't give much of a thought to truth. Truths are simply the details of everyday life: who, what, where, when, how, why. The deeper nature of reality is not exactly pondered much, and pleasure is often the goal of living. Many of these folks, I imagine, are quite wealthy.

There is a certain hostility or eyeroll that accompanies any question of metaphysics for these folks, as the mundane is all that matters to them. It's not that they think that the mundane is the only thing that is real, it is that they do not care if anything else is real. The only thing that matters is what they are doing, and how they can accomplish what they are setting out to do. These people are surface-level: people who want to get things done and do what they want to do, and all they are concerned with is how they can get it done.

Many may have a background in Truth Garden A (knowledge) or B (belief) when it comes to how they were raised or they formed opinions, but to them, sensory experience and self-gratification are all that matters--whether truth or falsehood is involved in obtaining these things is irrelevant. They may have loose morals and shallow opinions, but have good social skills that help them obtain what they desire. They do not seem to be searching for truth, as if experience and surface knowledge alone were enough to get by. Privilege is something they seek out sometimes, as a means to an end in getting what they want.

However, they may desire simply to have a family and enjoy the simpler things in life, not concerned with overachieving, having mundane desires. There are those among them for whom the simpler things in life are sufficient to make them happy--and they do not seek any deeper truth or profess some connection or knowledge of some kind of ultimate reality in order to live this sufficient life. They are not nihilistic; they are concerned with basic, pragmatic truths such as: What can I do? What can I get? How can I do this?

These are not thinking types, inquisitive only to the extent that they seek knowledge that helps them do their jobs, and so a conversation with someone from this garden may result in exasperation at their superficiality and lack of curiosity. It is frustrating for someone concerned with the ultimate nature of reality--or one who professes to know the truth and tries to "enlighten" them. As such, people from Truth Garden C (who are enlightened as to the ultimate nature of reality) do not want much to do with them.

Truth Garden F, as we will call this garden, belongs to those for whom truth belongs to the present moment and pertains to objects, things, desires, methods: things that will get the resident of this garden what they want. If they ever do seek a higher truth, they run into problems having to do with finding a reason to care about the effort put in to digging into details, whether they be physical or metaphysical, and so most abandon without much effort any desire to find out how things really are, motivated as they are by trying to use it for their own gain and pleasure.

If they do find out how things really work and cross over to Truth Garden C, they find that their desire to use higher knowledge toward achieving specific aims can get them into trouble with the residents of Truth Garden C, who tend to have developed standards that frown upon using metaphysical knowledge toward practical ends. When the ultimate nature of reality is discovered by someone from Truth Garden F, they want to use it to achieve wealth, success, love, money, power, and other things of this nature, and so go on to use higher knowledge toward achieving these things.

This, however, often raises the ire of the residents of Truth Garden C, as they cannot abide to see higher knowledge that could be used for the benefit of the world be used for merely mundane desires. The experiential nature of those from Truth Garden F makes them ill candidates for those in Truth Garden C, who often desire to keep people from this garden in a state of ignorance, in order that higher knowledge not lead to abuses in power.
