Ummm, you are talking about truth within the physical arena or dimension i guess.
The problem is that today truth is tomorrow non truth as the today reality is different from yesterday or tomorrow reality so we are dealing with
temporary truth not permanent truth.
Can we really say that today truth is the real truth?
Of course not dear Bboy so if this truth is temporary also the level of wisdom will be temporary and with something temporary you can not really go very far.
If instead you are talking about knowledge away from a finite arena
or dimension in which exist an unlimited knowledge then you are doing a little bit of progress but i doubt that you mean this dimension.
There is something very important that you badly miss and this is the fact that human desires are unlimited not limited so real wisdom
can only be located in a dimension away from limitation like this finite arena or universal dimension.
You still got a long way to go before you can understand
what real wisdom is but as grandma said...........IS NEVER TOO LATE.

I also sometimes enjoy talking about meditation and spiritual things. But if I wanted to talk about them, I wouldn't make a thread in the philosophy section.
Philosophy can be one of the entrance to the real world of knowledge
although the best way is direct access through intuitive knowledge.
My policy is that sometime i like go with the waves.
I can start talking about something and then go where the waves take
me rather then keep a straight course like a ship.
It is more relaxing.
The only time i keep a straight course is when i practice meditation.
