What is the nature of "truth" in truthism?

Is truth subjective? Or is there definite "Truth?"

Are there any rituals, traditions, or anything of the sort?

How does following the truthistic philosophy enhance your life and the world around you?

Are there any books, discourses, ect. on this philosophy?

The nature of truth is what I the founder of truthism see as true.

Truth is subjective however I believe my truth to be the only truth and of course while others may not agree I can do nothing about that but tell them it.

There are no rituals or traditions or holy buildings, holy locations or holy objects.

If the entire world followed and practiced truthism there would be no death and no suffering and no cycle of life in the world. On an individual level, following truthism will bring to the individual satisfaction with life, not bliss but satisfaction.

There are no books on it, only what I have written myself so that it is not written by someone other than me and changed. When I die what it says will be undisputable this way.

That's a good question dailyblessings but you wont like my answer.

Ideally the question would be what would the entire world do with truth, when they discover it. To make the analogy if the strength of ten men is needed to push a boulder, two could try but all ten would be needed to push it.

Much in the same way truthism requires the entire human race to follow it for it to work, but on an individual level everyone can help in there own way.

If a truthist is riding a train that leaves station A at 50 miles an hour at 1:10, and another train leaves station B at 40 miles an hour at 1:30, and the trains pass after twenty minutes, how far apart are the stations?

I'm sure I might like your answer... if you gave one. What do you do, with such truths as you have discovered?

What I'm doing when I type this.

That is the answer, my philosophy can only succeed in bettering the world if every human adheres to it.

And what I'm doing is trying to show people the ideas.

I believe everyone deep down has the same aspiration that of a harmonious, death free, suffering free world.

My philosophy is the guide to achieving that on earth, not in some fantastical heaven but here on this planet.

As for what to do when you discover truth? Share it with people around you and follow it. It is a lifestyle.

The life cycle of birth and death exists and continues because up to now god has not passed his own test of ending his own suffering (excuse the male pronoun there isn't an easier way of referring to god). God created his own suffering, and humans who - if god is truly good - will use their power and intelligence to end it.

That is the test and as the world is so full of suffering, birth and death must occur for humans to have the opportunity - always renewed by birth and death - to create a harmonious world.

As such in this world as it is, no individual being or life can be free from death until we pass all pass the test.

Once god had manifested himself into all the life that exists today, to genuinly test his goodness the future must be allowed to take place until either we fail or succeed.

God does not know the future and it is the power humans have - which we must use for the right reasons which can end suffering, and the life cycle.

To answer your question god could but he will not, life will end when the test ends.

I've got a question for you. Regarding the information described in the above quotation (and your earlier post), where did this information come from? Did you discover it by logical deduction, or did you arbitrarily assume it to be true?

It is something I thought about over a long time and only recently came to understand. The philosophy satisfies every moral question and dilemma I had and provides a reasonable and understandable purpose for this life in the first place - how can the origonal creation power know itself to be of a good nature without testing itself?

So then, it would be right to say that you believe this to be accurate because it satisfies your personal morality?

My next question is: since personal morality is relative (for example, my personal morality may be different from yours), how do you know that a philosophy is correct when it satisfies your personal morality?

I will denounce my entire philosophy if any follower of christianity islam or judaism can answer me this question.

As we are superior to animals, and they are our food source, why is it they can feel pain? Why did god create a food source that can suffer?

I'm a vegetarian, so I suppose it isn't applicable to me. Do you have another question that I can answer instead?
