Is absolute Truth knowable ?

[Mixcoatl]

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)

The only model of truth that can work is one that defines absolute truth as all that there is..therefore it would be prior to knowing. It is not something you can come to know as a specific piece of information in the future after reading a thousand books. It is both the journey and the destination..not just the destination.

If you assume there is an absolute static truth in the form of a piece of information that you will eventually come to know ..you also have to account for the constant changes in your experience..thoughts..worldview..and convictions. How many times in your life have you believed you had found the absolute truth only to later change your mind?

I agree with Rupert that being is knowing.

I’d like to expand on this by saying the only absolute truth you can say for certain is that you are conscious, and that everything else is just linguistics.

Yes it is.
