Everythlng we know in this world is in constant flux; how then can we claim to "know" anything?

If this world%26#039;s (duality%26#039;s) truth is always changing, how can we say we %26quot;absolutely%26quot; know something? The truth of one moment falls away, and another replaces it in our space/time reality. Is it possible that what we think we know, we call into being through our own perception as we focus on a question or situation or person? Thus, nothing is perceived to exist until we %26quot;think%26quot; it or %26quot;believe%26quot; it into our material world?





Then, if that is true, aren%26#039;t we making it up as we go along?





Your perception, please...|||In that constant flux, in that ever changing world, deep within it, there is never changing constant and those who have experienced it know all for ever and are truly established in Truth.|||Thanks i am Sirius

All religious books are only ink on paper. That is why we can have the gift of the Holy Spirit to visit us and we will know without a doubt. More information is on %26quot;www.lds.org%26quot;.|||You deal with things how they are now, and then assess the truth based upon that, and then later when things change phenomenally, you base your truth upon that situation. I really am not one for this whole %26quot;Truth%26quot; thing to begin with. I am more into wisdom, and self certainty.|||This world is in constant flux, but this world is an illusion separated from reality. Reality is just constant and that is truth.|||The real truth is we know nothing for sure .. Like think about reality . How do you know when you walk out your front door in the morning that the world will be the way it was when you went in the house and went to sleep .. My point is until you walk through a door you have no way of knowing what is on the other side .. I think we just trust it will be the same but we don%26#039;t know for a fact ..|||Perhaps what we class as knowledge is the relatively consistent aspects in the midst of general flux.|||All the %26quot;constant flux%26quot; is bliss when known with wisdom.

It is interesting to realize that when Absolute mixes with Relative then it attains the attributes of Relative. On the other hand Relative attains the attributes of Absolute. This can be experienced when you polarize the Self to either side i.e. Absolute or Relative.
