What is truth? Maybe the truth about truth is there is no Truth, just perception or consciousness. Just as we can't taste sound or hear yellow or smell hard, truth is just perceptual and subjective to the mode of perception. Yellow is true to the eyes because they can see it, yet not true for the ears because they can't hear it. And yet both are valid perceptual avenues.
Reality is the illusion Thought/Perception/Consciousness is what's real. In this world there are two kinds of truths: real truth and notions that you have convinced yourself are truth. However as I have always observed, truth is a very subjective phenomenon. Subject to your personal viewpoint or point of reference, which is determined by your perception or paradigm So debating about what is true and what is not, is like trying to discredit knowledge with knowledge (e.g. science and religion). The truth is that there is no absolute truth (well not in human perspective) because our perceptions are always evolving from one idea to the next with no consideration of whether or not the idea is “false” or “true”. In order to understand this intangible truth of the non absolution of truth in our environment, we must learn to question our limiting assumptions about things, and evolve them with the new found understanding.
As Barry Siskind mentioned in his book Bumblebees Cant Fly, "If we do not challenge the myths that we encounter, we will reinforce them. That’s how myths get incorporated into the fabric of your daily life." The mind does n’t distinguish between a lie and truth... They are all the same stuff - ideas. “Tell a lie often enough and it becomes the truth.” another example of truth not being absolute but dependent upon the perception of the observer is in the justice system. In court, evidence is produced in order to justify or defend the accused. Both lawyers observe the same evidence yet due to their own intentions, they see it differently from each other. Thus believing something just because someone or many are convinced it is "true" is never a good reason to believe it. for truth is not absolute (its really important to really get this idea in our heads.)
Abraham (from Abraham-Hicks) have said “A belief is only a thought you keep thinking”... And once you begin to understand that and start to see the real truth behind this statement, then you can begin to understand why some things appear true for you and seems to be only fantasy for others. And also as to why it is that, people find it easy to go along with what most believe. It is not because it’s true that they believe it, it is because they believe it (keep thinking it) that it is true.
Therefore
as one goes through their day to day experience, pay attention to how you
label things as true and allow yourself to really ask whether is it true or
just your own made up thought about it. Truth is a subjective reality. Objective (ultimate) reality takes into account that all that is perceived and given
attention to are true. That is the absolute truth..
