You Cannot "Know" Truth

They were asking what do you mean by the truth of the absolute moment? Also another person added, why can only the individual realize truth?...and why can't you just give us a direct answer so that we can have some idea of what you mean? This person's reply, It would be better if I did not talk at all...to not use words which are representational. Words and concepts are never reality, they only point to the possibility that you may understand beyond the content of your conditioned consciousness. This person frequently refers to negation, which must not be taken and understood as formula for success. It is a vehicle that allows one to clean out the closet as it were. Negation is the constant process of eliminating the validity of what was (the known) as the perceived truth of what is. The moment is an emptiness. What ever you realize or perceive in the moment is a projection of the self or what was. If a person stays with the moment and is aware of the movement of self then an unconditioned state of existence may be realized, but it cannot be made into some concept of nirvana or enlightenment to satisfy the self that is seeking. When all else is not, it is. This is very simple as a concept, but it is very difficult to realize in the reality of the moment because of ones attachments and projections.

It is easy to get stuck on the idea of truth and what is truth. There is no such thing as truth as a defined concept. What ever is printed in a book is a fiction. All words are a fiction, there is no non-fiction. They are simply the observations, interpretations and explanations of an individuality. That individuality is influenced by the content of his or her own mind and the influence of others that are part of the known and the activity knowing. By the same token all verbal exchanges are not the truth of the moment. We are all essentially liars in the sense that we cannot speak truth because truth does not emanate from the known. So one can never "know" truth. It can only be realized in the absolute moment through the vehicle of negation. It cannot be captured as a conceptual ideal and disseminated as a gospel, koan, sutra or any other such nonsensical wording that becomes the practice of believers and followers. Freedom is the door to truth, but it cannot be found or discovered through the duality of a self that knows. To want to "know" what truth is, is the self absorbed activity of one who can only understand and define according to a belief. Belief is the beginning of ignorance, for it presupposes a purpose and a destiny that is part of the never ending circle of the desire for what should be.
