What is truth to you?

Jesus Christ is truth.

Is a little sarcasm hostility to you?

Didn't mean to exude hostility if thats what came across :P

Amen brother!

No offense taken or intended. Hostility is just a common trait among many posters.

Truth stands on it's own, no matter anybody's opinion on it, but that's my opinion.

Pretty much have to say the "red letters".. they are my internal barometer on truth.

to me truth is 'what is' 'here and now'

Thread: I named my junk "THE TRUTH"

also to me the truth = God

"Truth is most often used to mean in accord with fact or reality[1] or fidelity to an original or to a standard or ideal.[1]

The opposite of truth is falsehood, which, correspondingly, can also take on a logical, factual, or ethical meaning. The concept of truth is discussed and debated in several contexts, including philosophy and religion. Many human activities depend upon the concept, which is assumed rather than a subject of discussion, including science, law, and everyday life.

Various theories and views of truth continue to be debated among scholars and philosophers. Language and words are a means by which humans convey information to one another and the method used to recognize a "truth" is termed a criterion of truth. There are differing claims on such questions as what constitutes truth: what things are truthbearers capable of being true or false; how to define and identify truth; the roles that revealed and acquired knowledge play; and whether truth is subjective or objective, relative or absolute.

Many religions consider perfect knowledge of all truth about all things (omniscience) to be an attribute of a divine or supernatural being.

Appreciate every answer you have provided and this is my fave.

+1 for cute OP

Truth?

Only whence nothing is expected in return.

At least as far as humans go.

Truth is confirmed when its structure remains the same regardless if there is any consciousness within effective range of detection to observe it or not.

Still digesting but I very much like this.

Nice. Are those your words?

Huh..?



Seems to be a self-contradiction there...

why seek truth? what do we gain?
facts?

and with them (these facts) we have..what : certainty?

and this certainty comforts, does it not? Tho its not really certainty is it? It's faith. Or Lies (an idea one part of the mind tells the other.

With these comforting 'truths' do we navigate our lives with confidence: doubt brings paralysis. very uncomfortable, the not knowing, yes?

so we seek comfort in "truth", and live our lives by it; take other's lives in it's names, no less. All the while comforted by our facts which are truth which are merely ideas (usually) driven by experience and knowledge and CHOSEN as truth.

i believe that one of the first steps toward wisdom lies in recognizing that we *cannot* know truth, that it is impossible for a singular human to perceive enough data in our universe to make any real valid determinations.

Therefore the wise human understands that their truths are CHOSEN.

Those truths that come from the personality anyway: neatly encapsulated by word groups that are memes that are idea equations that, like zero and infinity, do not exist except in the logosphere of the logical mind.

The next step is to be at peace with not knowing.

And to listen to guidance that comes from within/below. Listen to the feelings that are almost thought, that inspire thought, but never fully described by thought.

In the not knowing, we mix a comfortable dose of salt to these thoughts/ideas/truths and continually re-calibrate: do error checking on our ideas: irrationally pursue these feelings that occasionally lead to supersynchronous perfection that no single or even group of humans could plan/conceive.

Learning to shed Lucifer's iron rule, to listen to the sweet water of subconscious guidance : relegating Lucifer to pilot (keeping an eye out for short term "potholes" to avoid).

Magik is irrational, kiddies: cannot be modeled with the logosphere. Is. Not. Logical.


Find your Truth. Make your Choice and truly live by them (this is actually the hard part).

Allow the Passion to flow.

But understand that they are, in the final analysis, a CHOICE.

one of many.

Truth seems to unfold each day as I seek it. For today, I realize that mankind lives in two worlds: the physical and spiritual. We have been blinded to the spiritual world for whatever reason. My truth is to consciously merge these worlds each day into my being as one. I AM

wow. Much to re-read.
