Some thing is not 'true'. I think you may be flirting with a reification fallacy.

What makes something true?

Things that are true are independent of my mind.
The problem (my problem anyway) is that my mind so regularly gets in the way.
Sometimes my mind seems to 'slip' and when it does so my post-hoc understanding is that truth was there when my mind was not.
The conundrum is that post hoc I can only ever recall truth with a small 't' because my recollection means my mind is there.
I believe Truth = God.

Well if that this the case, then there is no truth or falsehood, just indistinguishable mess. If there is no truth/falsehood dichotomy, then neither term accurately describes anything.

That's what it starts as. Then we mold it into a distinguishable mess. Unfortunately (fortunately), there are roughly 12 billion hands doing the molding and we don't always work together.
I don't see the problem.
I don't disagree. And, sadly, I don't recall the circumstances that prompted this thread five years ago.
Just accept the fact that you are timeless. It is, indeed, an enduring truth.

Well that's cool, but it really doesn't answer the OP question though.
