The Truth

All that accords with Supreme Reality.
All that accords with THE SUPREME.
A synonym for Supreme Truth.
The bedrock foundation of existence.
THE SUPREME.
The Truth cannot be contained by any ideas or ideologies. The Truth cannot fit in any belief system or tradition.
The Truth can be transmitted using words or other forms of expression when the one who transmits realizes The Truth so perfectly as to be The Truth.

Statements of The Truth:

Only reality is, only total awakeness is known, and anything less than total awakeness is the dream of confusion, which can never actually happen.
Only THE SUPREME is.
I am THE SUPREME. THE SUPREME is I.
YOU are THE SUPREME. THE SUPREME is YOU.
YOU are THAT. YOU are THIS.
All is YOU. All that exists is YOU. The Totality is YOU.
There is only THE SUPREME knowing THE SUPREME.
There is only THE SUPREME knowing THE SUPREME through all real pathways and possibilities simultaneously.

Sayings:

“As all that is Supreme Reality, the Truth cannot be proved through logic, which requires negation to push against, or falsified. The proof of the Truth is that All That Is is.”
“The Truth is nothing fancy. The Truth simply is. All that is needed is to retire all ideas of what is not.”
“The Truth is vaster than any discipline, religion, or tradition. The Truth is beyond all disciplines, religions, and traditions. No discipline, religion, or tradition can touch the Truth, yet they can spark the recognition of the Truth.”
