Realilty is all that ever was, all that is now, and all that will ever be. Realilty is UNKNOWABLE.

Truth is a property of Reality which exists in the minds of beings. Truth is KNOWABLE. (Truth is that part of reality which is knowable)

Reality is constantly changing. Truth never changes. (Truth is immutable)*
Truth is the foundation of our common experience. Truth makes it possible for us to find agreement. We can always agree on truth. Liars like to confirm one another in order to simulate foundational unity. Universal agreement can only be accomplished on the ONE FOUNDATION of truth.

*If you find yourself drifting into what might be called Budhist-like or Hindu-like mental transfigurations; then, you're probably contemplating reality rather than truth. In that case you're bound to endless confusion. Reality is unknowable! If these definitions seem simple and pleasing to your mind then we're ready to move on!

Truth is knowable, unchanging, and the foundation for successful communication and universal reconcilliation. In other words, it's the ONLY foundation that can be used to resolve our differences. Lucky for us we have the truth to rely on! Unfortunately, our institutions such as religions, governments, and schools rely on deceptional means to maintain conformity such as misinformation, unjust legal systems, religious dogma without foundational understanding, false teaching by rote discipline, and many more.. Institutional dishonesty ends up becoming an obstruction. People are dividing people under the guise of uniting people. Faith in these institutions has diveded people. These institutions have become in a sense idols. Centrallized power has historically and is today a hinderance to general enlightenment. Power needs to be shifted to local administration. The power and greed partnership is become the motivational engine of these large institutions. Under current systems much of what is contributed or siezed by centralilzed institutions for redistribution is either wasted, misused or stolen outright. Local power is held more accountable as it's seat is closer to it's constituents.
