Is all truth dependent upon things that we assume to be true? What about spiritual truth and faith?

the concept of absolute reality or the absolute truth seems to be fictional
what is reality or truth once the perceiver's mind engulfs the perceptions and observations?
reality and truth are not definite, and for a long time i thought reality was, but to define reality without the biases and distorted views of each individual is unimaginable, it could be a combination or a total lack of
everything we experience is because of the human mind, the meaning we give to life is because of the presence of our mind, our mind is it's own entity, going in endless circles and questioning and creating thoughts
the only thing that is definite is thought, everything that comes from a person is first a thought, no matter what the integrity of the thought is
to try to define reality and truth, it comes down to each individual, my reality will be different than your reality
yes, all truth is dependent on things that we assume to be true, and what each person assumes is different, what each person comes up with is different, there are a multitude of realities and truths
you know how you come to a truth or conclusion after observation? it's your mind formulating something after perceiving it
but the way the mind formulates something is unique to each person
without the human mind where do all the thoughts and truths and realities go?
i think it's all in our heads

Good question!!! Truth is a universal concept and has its origins in the Divine. Truth is not dependent upon our percerption of it , nor our experience of it being true to justify its validity. Spiritual truth derives from Divine Truth, and our faith, is our willingeness to believe in truth as it comes from the Divine. Truth cannot be reduced to a mere set of axioms like we reduce fractions to their simplest form. Axioms and propositions are humankins attempts to explain divine truth in an understandable way to others, and without which, divine truth would only be a concept, unknowable by others.

Truth, like all things is dependant on the perception and the conception of the observer. What is True to one may be a blantant Non Truth to another, even though they are looking at the same thing it is the indavidual that determines the Truth and or Validity of anything.
If I say the horse flew over my house underwater, that is my truth. I choose to believe it as the fact and I accept that the event occured.
If you say the horse did not fly under or over my house underwater, that is your perception of my reality.
Truth is what we make of it and what we agree is truth. It does not makeit true, but to all that agree it is.

Truth is dependent on what you assume to be true. So, all you are left with now is that you assume that there is "something" out there called "truth." That is the very thing causing misery in you.

truth is not axioms or propositions because you cant give a definition of truth with just "words", I think the deepness of the word "truth" is based upon silence and perception.

What is true to you may not be true to me. In short, truth is debatable. So you can do those axioms, propositions and assumptions to come to what you believe is truth to you.
