Is absolute Truth knowable ?

2 posts in this topic

There is an absolute Truth. It's logically impossible that there is not a Truth. Is it logically knowable?

From a philosophical POV, is it possible to know it? 

Rupert Spira says that being is knowing. 

Thoughts??

@Mixcoatl We can atleast say that "truth" (generally) is something you can point at (direct towards), for yourself, and unto others.

That gives you truth as more of a "locus". At some point, *language itself, and words like ego and truth take on different forms/meanings, and what was once the "looking for truth" become something more akin to reality itself ~So Truth is not always the destination, in the search for truth (that is in the context of our whole lives being a testament to truth, or rather, the "attempt to discern").

Truth evolves. In discerning truth, you are distilling something alchemical. We are *occupied by the perception of limitations and truths of experience, Ergo on one end, we are taking up the space via * these other forms.

And so therefore, that which exists, exists Now, as well as that which we are moving or facing is itself [there] but in a sense we just dont perceive it beyond "the happenings that we think are called truth"

And just to conclude this, there's two different destinations on the path of the Philosopher~which has to do w/ this initial relaxing of the Ousia of the self, and the acknowledgement around the Istemi~

its something akin to a direction or arrow  that links the inner and outer models, that which leads to a sort of truth of the matter. Though, calling it "truth" (as opposed to "a truth") is a bit odd, because then there's this other road that builds on the distillations of truth, which is a separate sortve path, and it doesnt necessary encapsulate the istemi,  though it doesnt exclude it. It does assume one should be atleast somewhat familiar w/ it as a possibility, as these two things, *truth and the -istemi towards, are somewhat tangential in nature. Or maybe it should be phrased as, "istemi exists to deepen the distillation" (or vice versa)

Paraphrase from Poimandres (Corpus Hermeticum): "... that which is in the Word is also in ourselves."

Greek Magical Papyri (PGM): "I call upon the Word of the All, that which binds heaven and earth, and let it manifest in the circle."

Plato – Cratylus (439–440): "A name is a likeness of the thing itself; if rightly spoken, it carries the essence of what it names."
