There are two types of truth, mindful truth (absolute truth) and mindless truth (ironic that mindless truth is all about the mind).
If you found a standard of absolute truth "within" you would see that not only is your version not objective, but that all of the illusions you seek to call "truth" do not meet such a standard. When the truth is not found inside your Being, it is of the mind, again what I call, ironically, mindless truth.
Absolute truth is based on Being, mindless truth is based on mind, so it is therefore not "truth".
And in that statement you find an essence of inner truth, for any "truth" that involves judgment is NOT TRUTH AT ALL. Truth never involves judgment...truth never involves bias...truth never involves perspective. And there is no such thing as "acceptable truth" except in your mind's need to make untruths true. In that, of course, it ceases to be truth at all.
And yes, the mindless truth can change. That is why it is not absolute. Attachment to it is dangerous, because we seek to keep that which has changed constant. We do not have that power, so we begin to lie...which of course is not truth either (unless we make it true by bastardizing truth through perspective).
Confusing I know, but I only had 3 minutes to type this out and now have to leave.
