LOL WHY do 'you', "belinda", express this 'absolute truth', as an 'absolute truth'?Belinda wrote: ↑Fri Dec 09, 2022 1:26 pm'Truth' is commonly associated with absolute truth, but 'consciousness' commonly refers to living individuals, as in the clinical usage of 'conscious'.Therefore 'consciousness' is not the best word to link with absolute truth i.e. "totality of experiences". I can think of a more precise word that fits.Magnolia5275 wrote: ↑Thu Dec 08, 2022 7:38 pm Precisely, what is the definition and meaning of Consciousness and how is it different than the definition and meaning of the word Truth?
My conclusion is that both "Truth" and "Consciousness" mean the totality of experiences. "Truth" just like any other word in language, can only be known through its correspondence to a feeling. In other words "Truth" is simply a feeling we know of, and that has profound implications on what reality actually is. If "Truth" is nothing beyond a feeling (how could it be??), then any statement claiming truth outside of consciousness is linguistically false because no word in language can reference something unknowable.
In other words, the word "Truth" exists because it is known, and only because it is known. A reality outside of "the known" is a reality outside of Truth.
No man knows absolute truth.
Is it BECAUSE 'you' are NOT 'a man', and ONLY 'a woman' can KNOW 'absolute truth'?
WHY can 'you', posters, here REALLY NOT SEE the ABSOLUTE CONTRADICTION in CLAIMING ABSOLUTELY ANY thing in regards to, 'there being NO truth'.
For example, here, ONCE AGAIN, IF, and ONLY IF, 'NO man knows absolute truth', then what are 'you' that KNOWS, ABSOLUTELY, that NO man knows 'absolute truth'?
Who and/or what is SAYING and MAKING THIS CLAIM?
What happens if one just says, the 'absolute truth' is just 'that, which could NEVER be refuted for ever more', for example?
In other words, WHY does the term and phrase HAVE TO be DEFINED as some 'thing' that is an ABSOLUTE IMPOSSIBILITY?
WHY do 'you', an individual consciousness, CLAIM to KNOW, with 'absolute certainty', that 'absolute consciousness' AND 'absolute truth' are just 'items of faith' and that 'absolute truth', which, supposedly, NO man (and/or woman) knows, but which is, supposedly, MORE credible?Magnolia5275 wrote: ↑Thu Dec 08, 2022 7:38 pm Individual consciousnesses are not absolute consciousness. Absolute consciousness is also an item of faith but as such it is a lot less credible than absolute truth.
And, 'credible' in relation to 'what', EXACTLY?
