Talks on Truth
The meaning of the word truth extends from honesty, good faith, and sincerity in general, to agreement with fact or reality in particular. The term has no single definition about which a majority of professional philosophers and scholars agree. Various theories of truth continue to be debated. There are differing claims on such questions as what constitutes truth; how to define and identify truth; the roles that revealed and acquired knowledge play; and whether truth is subjective, relative, objective, or absolute. This article introduces the various perspectives and claims, both today and throughout history. (Quote from wikipedia.org)

Charles Fillmore (1854 - 1948)
Charles Fillmore (August 22, 1854 - July 5, 1948), born in St. Cloud, Minnesota, founded Unity, a church within the New Thought movement, with his wife, Myrtle Page Fillmore, in 1889. He became known as an American mystic for his contributions to metaphysical interpretations of Biblical scripture.
In a pamphlet called "Answers to Your Questions About Unity" , poet James Dillet Freeman says that Charles and Myrtle both had health problems and turned to some new ideas which they believed helped to improve these problems. Their beliefs are centered around two basic God is good. God is available; in fact, God is in you. The pamphlet goes on to say
About a year after the Fillmore's started the magazine Modern Thought, they had the inspiration that if God is what they thought - the principle of love and intelligence, the source of all good - God is wherever needed. It was not necessary for people to be in the same room with them in order for them to unite in thought and prayer.
In his later years, Fillmore felt so young that he thought

The book is a collection of Fillmore's lectures on deixis delivered in 1971 at Santa Cruz. They are seminal work of the subject matter which features a study of person, place, time, discourse, and social deixis, and, the deictically anchored conditions of the motion verbs '"come" and "go". Some of the materials such as person, place, and time deixis already made their way to standard pragmatics and semantics text books by Levinson and Lyons. Fillmore provides a wealth of examples and other research to elucidate his analyses, some of which are from other languages. Fillmore also acknowledges that there has been a lot of research done on the subject since the lecture series and offers a more up to date bibliography. This work is indispensable for any study on deixis or demonstratives.
