RE: Thoughts about the importance of truth

in #philosophy7 years ago (edited)

Yeah, I see it as levels of truth:

1.) the "relative truth" of relationships between things that appear to exist, but are based on the fundamental assumption that the objective world is real.

2.) the "intimate truth" of direct experience, based on the fact that something exists, namely myself, proven by my being aware.

3.) the "absolute truth" that stands alone after removing all erroneous assumptions/ conclusions/ abstractions. Whether it's observable or can be known by a human or any other "entity", I don't know. I don't even know if it exists.

Many supposed (spiritually) enlightened people have claimed that there is a (absolute) truth that stands alone and that it can't be known, words can't describe it, but it can be lived.

Well cemented!

Totally love this :)
