What Is Truth? ~ 5 minute explaination

All eyes do not see with the same vision, for to one an object appears of one form and color and to a different eye of another. ~Thoth (The Emerald Tablets) [translation]

Truth exists outside of human perception. Therefore while seeking truth one must always consider human error. If all the people in this video understood that then nobody would ever fight about anything, humanity would be working together to find the things that might be clouding their perception. (That was an allusion to how to evolve as a species from here on out if you didn't catch that)

[daveshearer]

Truth itself never changes. The only thing that changes is a person's perception.

[buddhaneosiddhananda]

Happiness is the direct result of truth... the truth shall set you free...

[nikkinikki]

The truth is that they didn't know the whole truth because they were limited, and didn't consider other possibilities.

[taichivillaruel]

This is why I believe that in some cases, balance is needed when differing views are presented. I'm also baffled as to why other people refuse to consider the other side and stick to theirs when we all know that our pool of knowledge is limited(unless you have what psychology calls "Dunning-Kruger Effect"). What I learned from this video is that the more you see(not just in a physical sense, but also in a spiritual sense), the more truths you'll discover. We cannot know all the truth because our mind is limited both in its processing and capacity, but it doesn't mean that there's no absolute truth. This is why we need to be humble enough to discover them. As Proverbs 11:2 states, : "When pride cometh, then cometh shame, but with the lowly is wisdom."

[jeffmcelheney]

You cannot define truth without God. Truth is not a human construct. We can adhere, adopt and benefit from the truth but we cannot add or take away from the truth. Has to be true. Has to be eternal. Has to be moral. Opposite of fantasy. Has to be objective. Has to be rational. Has to be authoritative. Incomparable with error. And the list goes on. Defining Truth is like defining God because He is Truth. You cannot know Truth if you do not know God.

[dalethorn]

Truth itself is transcendental and does not rely on perception. Opinions, speculation, theories, and working hypotheses are just that, and it's not necessary to waste one's time trying to conflate any of that with truth. If you seek truth, be prepared to seek it as much as you are willing and able to do so, and understand that it's a process to get there, or get as close as possible.

[NoGods-NoProphets]

THIS is the truth 🙏

If God were one of us, in drunken cheer,
He’d laugh, raise his cup, and draw us near:

“All who swear they’ve seen my face
Are liars draped in pious grace.
No words I spoke, no signs were shown,
Yet still they preach what none have known.

No hand shaped man from dust or clay,
No fates I cast, there’s no price to pay.
The stars don’t dance at my command,
Nor do I rule the sea or land.”

Then, He whispered low, as if to weep:

“I am no maker, I am not real—
No throne, no book, no grand ideal.
The tales you tell are but a game,
So drink, my friends, and forget my name.

Trust not the scriptures preachers keep,
But wake—and love—before you sleep.
For in their books, no truth is sown,
The soul alone must claim its own.

The words they chant, the lies they weave,
Are shadows that the fools believe.
So drink, my friend, and let it be,
For none have known what none can see.”

🙏 Haec est veritas.

Essentially truth is the ability to hold absolute validity of an object or thing throughout its unlimited existence in a limited way this shows us how validity is based upon perception and without an omnipotent viewer we can not have truth in a way because nobody can see infinitely without judgement of perception in addition to the absolute validity that there is not another being higher with more of an "angle" of the object that could state that that omnipotent viewer was incorrect invalidating all those before. However we still feel that something is true without needing an omnipotent viewer so I would ask what gives you the ability to feel without knowing?

What you're talking about here is not the concept of an absolute truth but subjective experience. In this video for example, all the characters are in fact wrong. They are not telling the truth about the state of the objects they are viewing unless they prefix their statements with some phrase which uniquely identifies them and thus indicates that they are describing their own subjective experience (not an ultimate truth). Ultimately, an immutable truth exists in this example and that truth is the actual state of those objects, regardless of how those objects are being perceived by the characters in the video. So to claim that truth itself is a set of mutable beliefs which can change over time is incorrect in my humble opinion. The differing perspectives may fit this description but not truth itself

[jameszelaznysr]

When you have faith it keeps us from progress we will stay the same for another thousand years never get ahead.

[jameszelaznysr]

Truth is when you can no longer question every word. if an answer is questionable then you do not have the answer.

[greenjoe]

It reminds of when someone gave me a woodland camouflage neon green knife and couldn't see the neon green, the next day i could see the neon green, it still messes with me.

[wrdrichard]

Truth, when it comes to simple facts, is absolute. In all the examples given in this videos people may have believed things which were not true because they didn't have the complete picture but that doesn't change the truth of what colours the ball actually is, that is absolute. The truth of what colours the ball is doesn't change depending on what people believe. Someone believing something doesn't make it true and two contradictory beliefs cannot both be true - they can both be false though as in this video where both people were wrong about the colour of the ball because they didn't have the complete picture.

[GoddestPitcher]

(FACTS OVA FEELINGS). Truth is Not a Pain Killer it is an Agent for Actual Positive Change and actual Healing. this means the truth can bring eu the experience of relief r it can bring eu the experience of Pain but either way it holds within the actual Power

[janman]

The ball is two colors. That is the only truth. The other people had beliefs that proved to be incorrect. If they were unable to see the entire ball they should not have claimed that they knew what color it was, or give a qualified answer that was open to further evidence. The problem with many beliefs is that the person is not open to further evidence.

[udpjogp]

Truth means opposite of false.. That is something that is real in all situation

[jameszelaznysr]

I believe truth is when you can no longer question the given answer if the answer is questionable then you do not have the truth. it's usually only someone's opinion.

[leocattanimusic]

For the guys who were seeing different sides of the circle, I think that the person who has the angle that shows both sides is the closest to REAL TRUTH. He may not be absolute truth, or the ‘highest’ truth, but I think he is closer to that idea than the other two.

To me, if I can fit other peoples’ ‘truths’ into my truth, then it tells me that I’m closer to something more concrete and ‘real’ than them. For the guy who only sees the green side, there’s NO WAY that the ball is red. And vice versa. But for someone who sees both, they can see how the other two make sense.

So, if you can move up a metaphorical “truth ladder” then it tells me that truth is not up to interpretation but rather up to knowledge and wisdom. And therefore, truth is beyond the human experience.

[andrewholcombe]

Sooo....It is absolutely impossible to actually "know" anything? The color of the balls never changed they are actually a particular color (colors) but the true reality has not been discovered...yet there is an actual reality. This video has done an excellent job proving that it is absolutely impossible to "know" anything about anything unless you know everything or have access to one who does. However, truth is no our perception of reality it IS REALITY. The Ball is Blue and Red whether we acknowledge it is blue and red or not. The only way you can possibly know reality is to have an objective view that is above all things and able to see all things. In other words you would have to be "God"...or have access to Him.
