Agreed. We manifest our own truths, and that is the Absolute Truth. Funny how even our personal truths and the Absolute Truth are also interconnected Buddha said not to believe anything, not even if He said it, unless it feels right and true to you in your experiences and in your heart. We've been given such a gift as to make truth into whatever we want it to be, our thoughts manifesting our future, shaping our experiences from our own choices and free will.

but , you can keep your idealism.

I see there are lies and thats how it is. You might be in denial of such a phenomena to uphold your idealisms, but really you have witnessed the occurance of deception just as I have, yet speak in vague obscurities to cloud what's plain over... then call it 'subtle'.

Greetings..

There is simple 'isness'.. as it is what it 'is', and.. we try to describe the 'isness', some descriptions are more accurate than others.. the 'truth' is what it 'is'.. the more accurate the description, the more likely we will understand it as 'true'..

Be well..

The human mind is incapable of holding the whole Truth while on earth. You'll never encounter the Truth in it's entirety on this planet.

Isness isn't all it is cracked up to be. When people start talking like this, I leave the room.

Belief doesn't make something true, but truth could make someone believe.

Wouldn't truth make someone know rather than believe?

Spiritual Truth - What is it ?

This Spiritual Truth is something we all talk on but is it real or reality ?

Spirituality is said to be the intimate or immaterial reality, where one finds the inner meaning of being . That place of inner peace where one finds the deepest of nature of the divine.

To some this Spiritual Truth is the connection to God’s consciousness and to find the understandings in his message or to understand in creation itself. To find in this life a path that will in the end run lead one’s Soul to Enlightenment.

“When you are content to be simply yourself and don’t compare or compete, everybody will respect you”

Lao Tzu

Truth - Reality; actuality. That which is considered to be the supreme reality and to have the ultimate meaning and value of existence.

Existence - being real; state of being real, actual.

Real - physically existing, having physical existence

Soul - The spiritual nature of humans, regarded as immortal, separated from the body at death . To continue on its journeys.

Enlightenment - a final blessed state free from ignorance, desire and suffering

Suffering - spirituality speaking consolation or relief, conforming to moral conduct ( do no harm, help the afflicted)

Reality - The state of things as they actually exist. Rather than as they may appear or may be thought to be. In the widest definition , reality includes everything that is has a being, whether or not it is observable or comprehendible.

In looking up many terms that come in with Spiritual Truth I still have not found the meaning of Spiritual Truth.

Is there such a thing as TRUTH ? The jury is still out for me.
