Latin translation for the following phrase: the world is not as it seems, seek the truth, and know thyself?

Question

This has been a motto of sorts that I have attempted to get translated many times to know avail. I have a limited knowledge of the root words but not nearly enough. The closest I can decipher "seek the truth" to be in Latin is "nosce te ipsum". However, "mundus" and "veritas" is all I know about the rest.
"Seek the truth and know thyself" I believe should be a fairly direct translation, but the former segment (the world is not as it seems) might raise context issues. "The world" could be replace with "this life" or "existence" and still maintian my intended meaning.
Any help is appreciated. Thank you. CBShiloh

Answer 1

Mundus non est quale videatur.

Veritatem sequere.

temet nosce*

*This is what was written on the plaque above the the Oracle's kitchen door in the Matrix. It's a Latin translation of "Gnothi heauton", which was inscribed on the wall of the oracle at Delphi.

Answer 2

Mundus non est tamquam videtur, veritatem quaere et nosce te ipsum.
Videtur is used at the present indicative 3rd person of deponent verb 'videor' with the meaning of "it seems".
It can be also as above answer "videatur" - present indicative 2nd person with the meaning of "you consider".
However 'seek' is used as imperative ,a command, and can't be translated with infinitive 'sequere' (it should be 'seque' even if I prefer using 'quaere').
Nosce te ipsum or temet nosce are interchangeables.

If you want replace 'world' (mundus) you can use :
Haec vita = This life
Aevitas = Existence, lifetime.

Answer 3

orbis terrarum est non ut is videor , peto verum , quod teneo thyself
