Truth and the spiritual search

[Iamit]

Its an idea. How could one know whether it or any other proposition is true or false without assuming that there is nothing hidden which may contradict it? Where does that leave seekers in terms of the spiritual search? Resonance may occur but it is difficult to see how that alone could have the profound effect of ending the search unless the idea that truth can be known is transcended, maybe with Kierkegaad's help:)

Also I do not think that spiritual search is reasonable but I know that reason does not resonate with all people equally and different individuals may have different understandings of what is rightly called 'reason'.

Where does that leave seekers in terms of the spiritual search for something they define as lost or missing in their lives (often referred to as enlightenment, realization, or awakening)? Resonance may occur with a spiritual path or idea that attempts to address that lack but it is difficult to see how that alone could have the profound effect of ending the search unless the idea that truth can be known is transcended, maybe with Kierkegaard's help:).

Believing one has discovered and knows the truth has to be defended, Resonance is more mysterious, at least to me, and because of that mystery, does not require defending. Any comment on the nature, and experience of resonance would be interesting.
