Relationship to Reality

🧐

"The question of what is truth is identical to the question of what is existence, reality, and business."
🌌

Reality can be seen as an infinite system with an infinite number of bits, and the truth is the state of all those bits, defining the whole state of everything.
🌌

Truth is not dependent on any particular state of the system, as it encompasses the entire state of the universe, including all points in time and space, making it always the case.
🧠

Truth is inescapable and absolute, existing prior to everything else, including physical objects, time, space, and the universe itself.
🌌

The truth is nothing and everything, it is infinity, which encompasses all of existence and human history.
🤔

Absolute truth encompasses all possible concepts and imagination, leaving no room for anything beyond it.

Path to Discovering Truth

🧠

By letting go of the concept of subjectivity and realizing our true nature, we can access absolute truth and pure objectivity.
🤯

Absolute truth is paradoxical and illogical, possessing all qualities including the quality of having no quality.
🌟

Truth is self-awareness, self-illuminating, and self-evident, serving as a solution to all human problems.
🗺️

Truth is not something you think or know, but rather what you are, implying a deeper connection to truth within oneself.
🧘‍♀️

To discover absolute truth, one should develop laser-focused concentration through practices like meditation, yoga, self-inquiry, and contemplation.
🌌

The pursuit of absolute truth can lead to genuine and authentic awakening, where one becomes the truth itself.

Nature of Truth

🤔

Many people have a common misconception that truth is something that can only be understood by scientists, academics, philosophers, priests, and rabbis, but truth actually transcends science and can be known by anyone.
🤯

The speaker suggests that truth is both ordinary and extraordinary, simultaneously mundane and mind-blowing, challenging common misconceptions about its nature.
🌟

Absolute truth, with a capital T, is the ultimate form of truth that goes beyond the concepts of relative truth and falsehood.
