Ezra Maxwell

Ezra Maxwell was born on the Caribbean Island of St. Lucia, a land that gave birth to two Nobel laureates—the late Sir Arthur Lewis and Derek Walcott. He received his primary education at St. Augustin Boys School in the town of Vieux Fort and, later on, his secondary education at the Vieux Fort Secondary School. In 1981, at the age of sixteen, he moved to St. Croix to join his parents. After being in the Virgin Islands for three years, he decided to move to Brooklyn, New York, where he lived for five years before moving back in 1989 and has lived there ever since. He sees himself not so much as a product of academic learning but rather as a product of independent thinking. He believes that with classroom education, man end up knowing only what he is taught. But with independent thinking, man arrives at the platform of truth seeing and knowing what he should and eventually possessing the one possession that is truly his own—his inner self. Within these pages lie the philosophies that have shaped his way of thinking over the years.

Knowledge is blind

without the spectacles

of truth.

There are none more blind than

those who have been taught lies. Knowledge

based on lies is blind because it

leads nowhere but to destruction.

Good needs no mask

To disguise

But evil uses a Godlike

Face to hide.

Acknowledgments

To God be the praise, the glory and honor. It is He who gives; we only receive.

Introduction

It is important to know the difference between facts and truth in order to identify one and the other. In order to find truth, the first prerequisite is knowing its essence; otherwise you will not recognize it when you see it even if it’s right under your nose. But what is the essence of truth? The essence of truth is law, not man-made law, but rather God-made law. Without law, anything would happen, but since law is king, anything does not happen. If there wasn’t law, an apple tree would bear tomatoes, but since there’s a law that governs sowing and reaping, that doesn’t happen.

When something happens, it’s called a fact. When something simply is, it’s called truth. Whereas fact evolves, truth is timeless; it doesn’t change. For example, it’s a fact that thirty years from now, I’ll be an old man
