...and what is it that knows what is true? Not 'who is it' that knows what is true? But, What is it? What is the entity that knows and how does it operate?
Who is the knower. Who is the thinker. Who is the controller? It is my self, right?
What is the self, the me the I?
If I say I am this or I am that, is that actually what I am? Or is it something else? Perhaps what I think I am is just a bundle of memories organized into an image that I carry around about myself.
Does the organizing of memories into an image that I have about myself occur in the brain? Is it a material process?
Words and pictures are images, right?
When I think of myself, that is, when I have a picture of myself which I can also put into words and feelings to describe myself, I then have an image of myself.
Am I not using the same faculties when I imagine and describe God.
Imaging and describing, no matter what the subject, seem to be cast from the same stone?

I imagine there is something out there watching us. Unfortunately, I think it's the government.

We can only know something from our own reasoning which sees everything through the prejudice of sin, unless the spirit of God reveals the truth to us.
edit:
The only way we can know that our thinking, about anything, isn't biased is if we measure it by a standard. The standard for absolute truth exists today in the King James bible.

Yes, the Bible says the truth is hidden from no man. All we need to do.Is pray asking God for guidance.

Nope, there are different levels of truth and of course everyone's version of the truth. But you will never find pure unadulterated truth.
