What is truth?

[shubhamsharma]

Has any of you found the truth. If yes, do you think if we can put truth unto words?

That would be like trying to nail JELLO to a tree.

I'm deconstructing the power of the word on people.

See. You're already confused and we haven't even gotten to the nuanced stuff yet.

Truth needs to be directly experienced. "The Tao that can be spoken of is not the True Tao" 

"Words are just a finger pointing"    -Kapish?

 There is Truth within Truth within Truth.........ad infinitum.

Tell your girlfriend about your absolute truth as an experiment.

I read and watched many things. Leo, other spiritual teachers, idealist philosophers, people trying to argue against the people teaching spirituality. I spent many hours thinking about these things for many, many years. I had some enlightenments on psychedelics. But I had no peace. It wasn't until I started a daily meditation practice that I found peace. Truth is good, but what good is it without peace? And through peace I'm finding some Truth, but I can't tell you what it is. I could say it's pure being, or God, or consciousness, but unless you know you don't know what those words mean, they don't mean what philosophers think they mean.

Agreed.

Meditation was key for me as well.

Truth is everything. Absolute. Infinite and in not time or space.

In a very real way, the truth is what you want it to be.
