There is no one in the world that is able to teach you the Truth. If man teaches you anything, then you are taught the doctrines and traditions of man, traditions and doctrines totally contrary to the ways of the Spirit. It is the nature of this world to twist the Truth into a lie.
Yet the Truth is so obvious; it shouts out and jumps at my face. It has paraded up and down before my eyes always. It has beckoned to me and said, "Here I am! Here I am! Look at me!" I looked right through it as though it was not there. It is the marvelous and wonderful work of God; the invisible work of God that's not invisible.
Not only is His Truth in the Scriptures, but it is also in the world, all around us, staring us in the face. We look upon it every day, we think upon it every day, yet no one sees it and no one hears it. We have all been blind and ignorant, seeing nothing, and knowing nothing. Man has a great imagination; he can imagine everything -- everything but the Truth. He can never imagine the Truth. He can't even see it when he looks at it.
There may be other writings in the world that contain Truth other than the ones collected in the Bible. Some of the other ancient Hebrew literature may also contain Truth. I don't know as I've never read any of it, but I do know the nation of Israel was chosen to record the oracles of God.
If man cannot teach you the Truth, where then can you find an instructor? The Instructor is in your own mind. The Spirit of Truth is waiting and hoping to be discovered by you. I cannot teach you the Truth, but I can tell you where to look for it. God is Spirit. And the ways of God, the knowledge of God, and the mysteries of God must be revealed to you by the Spirit through your own spirit. What is the spirit? It is the mind. It is you.
The Kingdom of God and the Truth can only be discovered within yourself, and that "self" is not your physical body, but your spirit, your mind. But how can you find, except you first search and look? But, I warn you, examine your intentions first to make sure they're all good and pure, for there are also many evil things in the mind (the Spirit of Truth is not the only spirit). Your intentions determine which you will find, and woe to the man who searches and finds not that Good Thing!
It's a common attitude among the people of today to think that everyone is entitled to his own interpretation of Truth; let everyone find his own god -- no matter how different those gods may be. No one thinks it strange any more that there are many different interpretations of the Bible and many different beliefs, ignoring the fact that, because of the differences, they cannot all be true.
Like all others, I once had my own interpretation of the Scriptures. But the many different individual interpretations will not let us know the true meanings of the messages in the Bible. The true interpretation can only come from the author of those messages.

The truth is we are nothing more than a chemical reaction on a pebble in the universe.
We (the human race) is not special or the chosen favorite of some invisible Jew up in the clouds. We are part of a natural process that is taking place on other pebbles in the universe.
What clouds our perception is our lack of mental control to see past the barriers that have been planted in our minds by genetics and by the societies we live. The truth is there is no magic, no supernatural...only that which we do not understand (yet).
To some, this may seem to be a disturbing way to look at the world, or even boring, but to me, I find our insignificance more remarkable than the narcissistic view most human have regarding our species.

Truth is determined to the perspective of of whoever is experiencing it.
For what I can tell, I only THINK that I'm typing on a keyboard in order to answer a supposed question by someone who for all I know may not even exist. I can only ASSUME that "whoever" wrote the question will read my answer and get something from it. Is that the truth? I don't know, but at the moment, it's all I have to go on.

TRUTH
The Hebrew term ´emeth´, often rendered "truth," may designate that which is firm, trustworthy, stable, faithful, true, or established as fact. (Ex 18:21; 34:6; De 13:14; 17:4; 22:20; Jos 2:12; 2Ch 18:15; 31:20; Ne 7:2; 9:33; Es 9:30; Ps 15:2; Ec 12:10; Jer 9:5) The Greek word a·le´thei·a stands in contrast with falsehood or unrighteousness and denotes that which conforms to fact or to what is right and proper. (Mr 5:33; 12:32; Lu 4:25; Joh 3:21; Ro 2:8; 1Co 13:6; Php 1:18; 2Th 2:10, 12; 1Jo 1:6, 8; 2:4, 21) A number of other original-language expressions can, depending upon the context, also be translated "truth."
) Jesus represented things as they really were. Besides being 'full of truth,' Jesus was himself "the truth," and truth came through him. He declared: "I am the way and the truth and the life." (Joh 14:6) And the apostle John wrote: "The Law was given through Moses, the undeserved kindness and the truth came to be through Jesus Christ."-Joh 1:17.
Jewish writers, such as Philo, paint Pilate as an inflexible, self-willed man. (The Embassy to Gaius, XXXVIII, 301) However, it may be that the actions of the Jews themselves were largely responsible for the strong measures the governor had taken against them. At any rate the Gospel accounts give some accurate insight into the man's makeup. His approach to matters was typical of the Roman ruler, his speech terse and blunt. Outwardly expressing the skeptical attitude of the cynic, as in saying "What is truth?" he, nevertheless, showed fear, likely a superstitious fear, upon hearing that he was dealing with one who claimed to be God's son. Though obviously not the condescending type, he displayed the politician's lack of integrity. He was concerned primarily with his position, what his superiors would say if they heard of further disturbances in his province, fearful of appearing to be overly lenient toward those accused of sedition. Pilate recognized Jesus' innocence and the envy that motivated his accusers. Yet he gave in to the crowd and turned an innocent victim over for them to slaughter rather than risk damage to his political career

I do not know and you do not know . what is trueth it would have to be things that are and do not change. I change and you change we must not be truth. Science changes when new things are found and the importance of discoveries change when other more resent thing are discovered to keep the ponders pondering about things that might have been or almost certainly might have been. So the best answer for trueth must come from the one who knows it all ..... take a guess who is best fitted for that tittle from all the Gods all the powers that are told to man written down and spoken about from ancient times to modern times which one has said He is the starter and will be the finisher of all things who holds life and death in His hands who has said ; He is just and holy and is fit to judge all men. i would put my money on Him and no other

the truth for you
is "your truth"
it is what resonates with your soul and with your heart and makes you feel full of life and wonder.
it does not have to be the same for everyone
there can be many different "truths"
and why not

Dear Adlight: These are my Truths:
1. There is a Creator/Father. Creation never ceases and
more and more spirit-minds are added to the Kingdom -
born of His Thought and fashioned in His Essence. The
Kingdom is infinite. Filling all space and dimension.
2. The Creator/Father has structured or designed His
Kingdom that nothing else exists. He is unopposed,
Steadfast Love, Power, Peace, Joy, Unlimited-ness
and an Ecstacy.
3. As One with Him in the enfoldment of His Essence -
as spirit-mind like Him, and through the One Mind
channel that runs through each Mind - we experience
Creation with Him.
4. We are Eternal for - He is. He actually possesses what
on Earth we call the Christ attributes. The Father is
the Christ Nature - that Jesus embodied - and that
He teaches us to remember - and once again become -
in our great Separation.
5. The Purity of the Father is our Purity - as displayed in
the lights of a Brother's eyes. Or the Light pouring
through our Brother's face sometimes - in gratitude.
6. He leaves us not - stained by our Journey inside of Time.
He has a Plan - established at the moment of Separation -
for our Return. With the Holy Spirit appointed our
Comforter and Guide; with Jesus appointed our Teacher
Who will cause us to Remember ; with Eternal-ness the
fabric of our Being - we are SAFE - even within this
Journey.
7. I am joined to You as One - in spirit-Mind and essence -
in our Reality. I am You . . .You are me. . . We are both
part of I AM. My essence is entertwined within yours.
Look upon separated bodies and know the One-ness is
beyond bodies. It cannot be seen with human eyes.
It is enough just to know. . .It is there.

Ain't no such thing.
It all depends on who you ask.
furthermore... we keep asking for the truth. and once we find it what are we supposed to do with it? can you handle that responsibility?
truth... you really don't want to know anything about it. Just enjpoy your life while you still have it.
