Absolutely! Based on your previous posts, I assumed that you weren't really talking about things like scientific proof in this thread. More like spiritual truth?

Isn't the truth, "what is"? Do we really need to know this? I mean after all, it's all around us all the time. Isn't our being in it, and part of it, truth enough for us?

No, because we want control of it. And that's the truth. The truth of us.

Repetition of the word “Water” doesn’t cool down thirst because the word “Water” is NOT “Water” itself.

Similarly, the repetition of “Truth/God” doesn’t cool down thirst because the word “Truth/God” is NOT “Truth/God” itself.

One need to consume Truth/God in order to cool down that thirst. :)

When I think about spiritual things I always start by asking myself what I VALUE. For example, I value honesty, a clean environment, the golden rule, and so on.

This is the first question everyone should ask - but few actually do.

People jump into their quest for the "truth" without pausing to ask themselves where and how they decided that there is a truth to discover. Usually, the truth is something given to you by someone else (religion, Guru, etc) and you dumb yourself down to simply accept it. But how can that be the truth?

There is no hidden truth to discover. The truth is "what is". It is available instantly to all people - without discrimination and without the need for agents.

The real problem is boredom or dissatisfaction with life. This is what drives people to look for something more interesting, more permanent and so long as there are people who have this need, there will be suppliers in the form of religious and spiritual masters to cater to this need - through their own conceptions of truth, heaven, mindfulness, meditation, moksha and so on.

If you can accept life as-is, then there is no need for such a quest. You will no longer have to put your faith in the words other people/religions. You simply live your life as best as you can.

Putting together three posts, I'm left with an image of you on a journey. We can offer our perspectives, but only you can find and become what you are seeking. Only by becoming what you are seeking will you finally be the answer to your question.

the conscious part of a man is said to be the tiniest sliver of awareness,
the sub-conscious is a whole other domain, yet still contained in the same set.
just encouraging you to dig inside in the 'unknown' department where likely, you will find more than you ever imagined.:)

For me the truth is in the teaching of Islam. It tells what we need to do to get in to heaven. That is all that matter to understand and practice ( to me)

Okay... but can you define what you mean by spiritual and can you provide an example of a spiritual truth?
