How can you distinguish truth from hallucination?

@Leo Gura time out here. :D I did share with you stuff. I get what you're saying, but seriously, you're just adding more words and changing what I'm saying. Yes, you could say that you are ahead of me in your life purpose, but then, I have to plan mine carefully. I'm doing something different than yours, and you know that. Good luck on the next video. Do what you love. I meant well.

Wait and see. There's too much to say.

If I say, "Trump is President of the United States" is that true or false? How do you know? What makes it true? What does it even mean to say it is true? If you don't know what truth is (and you don't), how can you even say that something is true or false? What are you even saying with those words. What does it mean to say God is true? Is truth a concept or something else? If it's not a concept what is it? If it is a concept then are non-conceptual things not true? How many kinds of truth are there? One, two, three, infinity? Are colors true? Are words true? Is perception true? Can ideas be true? Are false things true or false? Do false things exist or not? Is there something in between true and false? Does truth come in degrees or it is binary? Etc, etc.

Don't take the most basic things for granted.

You could spend the next 20 years of your life studying what truth is and isn't and how truth works. And you would probably be wrong.

All of this is pointing to the subjective experience, which will ultimately destroy all traditional "objectivity".

Truth is subjective, and this subjectivity is objective.

It just sounds like a lot of repetition to me -- all this Truth talk.  Not trying to be a jerk about this either.  It might be time to move on to another topic in our Personal Development work.  Ice cream is great but if that's all you eat day after day after day, you're gonna tire of eating ice cream, no matter how great ice cream is on occasion.  It just becomes monotonous.  A little variety is good.  Same reason a little side salad works well when you're eating a steak dinner.  I guess we just don't understand so it needs to be pounded in and re-pounded in until we do.

This just sounds like mental gymnastics to justify moving on. Leo may be talking about the same thing but he is trying to communicate a deeper level of understanding that transcends any words. 

Have you actually experienced these deep levels of understanding infinity though? 

It almost seems like people love to back to back watch Leo's videos to get all that juicy mental scaffolding then hardly put time into locating/experiencing it. 

If it's continuously being communicated then perhaps the rabbit hole of this topic goes deeper than we thought.

When you are asleep, you are often 100% convinced what you're dreaming about is true. It's because your brain chemistry makes you believe it.

Why are you convinced that dreams are untrue?
