About Truth

Learning is an accumulation process in which the mind creates and gathers images and concepts. However, the mind being a limited tool, its elaborations are always partial and incomplete. What is usually called knowledge is not true knowing; it is merely the mind’s elaborations and projections.

What you think you know may be useful for practical purposes, but it should not be mistaken for the truth. Mistaking the mind’s content for truth is the main source of confusion and suffering in this life.

Truth cannot be experienced by the mind because it is not an experience and cannot be conceptualized. Truth simply is. Its mode of expression is Being. Truth and Being are one and the same.

As long as you believe you can know or possess the truth, it is not the truth.

In the realm of concepts, one could say there is only one truth, which is: there is no absolute truth in the conceptual realm. That is the only conceptual truth one can articulate without lying.

The Truth with a capital "T" is entirely different. It cannot be spoken of or known; it simply is. It is one with everything, including you. You are it, this moment is it, the whole manifestation is it.
