That’s thoughtful, brother. You’re describing the process of discovering truth well, but I’m curious about something more foundational. Do you believe objective truth exists independently of our perceptions? Because if truth is just our ongoing process of revision, then we’re not really seeking truth, just constructing personal narratives.

For me there is definitely something that exists beyond the constraints of my perception skill set. That “something” exists in what I would call a “state” of being true (objective). The two questions I realised I had to face was 1. whether I can know that “truth” from ITS perspective and 2. Whether I was willing to let that truth shape my world view. I had spent much of my time trying to push my real world experience through a belief system that had built in limitations. This habit I concluded was dishonest and not conducive to discovering what is outside of my perception skill set.
