Just your declaration that you have the truth is a red flag in my mind.

Truths are like little pearls, in the mud. You must search threw the mud, find the pearl, wash it, polish it, and place it with the rest of the pearls you find in your life time. How many pearls are in your bag?

How to expose when one is lying when claiming to know the truth? I think the best guarantee for that is if he/she is trying to impose this 'truth' to others. For me, the truth has value only for me; I am not interested to share my truth with others in order to see how it fits the views of my peer groups.
You don't believe there are universal truths? Ones that apply to everyone? Sure, some have seen reps, some greys, some even claim to have ridden in a space ship, and if true and it really happened, time will be the judge to its authenticity. But I can assure you there are truths that apply to all of us, even the ones who think they are immortal, we all are going to die some day. And that, is just a matter of time.

Ok, there is only the one ABSOLUTE truth of existance.
On a more personal level, what can be true for me, may not be for you.
Problems seem to arise when one person wants to convince another of "his truth" or "the truth".
As I said, there is only one absolute truth, I don't think it is accessable at our current stage of evolution. Maybe to be seperate from it is never to fully know it. Maybe we are not seperate from it but a part of it. Maybe we are a part of it and also seperate from it at the same time.
Who knows eh?

Do you speak for everyone? There are many truths, some in the open, and some still quite hidden, and again, its just a matter of time before those are exposed.

For the life of me I cant imagine why anyone would have been insulted by anything I wrote. I don't see how sharing personal observations would or could effect you in this manner. Yes, its TRUE, I have seen far more in my life than the average Joe sitting on the couch drinking his beer watching Sunday football. But I dont fault Joe or look down on him because he hasn't been inspired to start looking up. Besides, those that think I have been blessed or "Chosen" they really need to reconsider this. Its been nothing but a drain and a great weight in my life.
I don't even know why in hell I wrote my OP, but at least I know why I didn't write it for: It was not because I wanted to impose my subjective view to anyone, neither was it because I would like insult anyone like "nanana, I have the truth and you have it not! ". No, because in the end I believe that the truth is "in there" for everyone. Gnothi Seauton I guess I could say; and eventually you will know whole lot damn more Or maybe I just wrote it because I am insane.

Two kinds of truth, temporary, and permanent. A flat earth was temporary, a round earth is permanent

Truths are something above us, and so much will be too complicated for us to understand.
