Wait, the book is proposing a metaphysical monism? The part that I read was dualistic (in one of the OP's other posts). This seems inconsistent.
Also, with regards to:
"I do not want to debate about truth, this is not the purpose of this thread... There is nothing to debate about, the purpose of this thread is to share truthful things I found (or you found).
So on this new thread I will mostly post quotes from The Present, or interresting (truthful) music/videos/quotes (from other sources) that I find... I find new intesrresting stuff almost every days (almost because I do not always have time to seek).
If you also have some truthful things to share, it is open of course."
Any "truth" that cannot be challenged and questioned is not in fact "true", it is simply a strongly held belief or Dogma. If the "truth" you wish to share is true, it will stand and be stronger if it survives rigorous questioning (debate). I've read through your post, and I'm sticking to my claim that it doesn't appear you are putting forth any kind of "truth" but are simply promoting some book. If you want to put the main ideas and arguments of the book out here for us to openly discuss, it would be a much more productive approach. Don't just throw a bunch of quotes up, if you must use them give sow background and context, and tie them to some idea.
I'll be willing to take whatever it is you are so excited to share with us seriously if you do some of this. You will also get some (not all there will still be trolls ofc) people actually engaged and involved with the material.
Let me remind you all one LAST time what is the truth.
The truth is that which is.
The truth is life, the present moment.
Your perception of truth is NOT the truth.
What you think is not what is... You are NOT your mind, you are the spirit listening to it and your other senses.
Some believe our perception of the life is the truth, and that we all have a different truth. This would mean there are 7 billions of different truths in this world ? How mankind could unite in that case ? It is actually the kind of beliefs that divided us, and justified a lot of wars.
Everyone has a different environment and perception, but it doesnt change the truth.
The truth is actually what is right for everyone. Only the truth can unite us and bring equality to this world.

Perception is everything when it comes to how we see and live in the world, but perception does not determine truth, by definition. Perception can be false, truth cannot. Perception changes, truth does not. No one determines truth; truth "is", regardless of what we perceive. Our task is to align our perception with "that which is".

2+2=4... After a maths exam, you can debate with the teacher as long as you want, it does not change the fact there is only one good result.
You can pretend Paris is in Germany, it will still not be true.
Everything I just wrote or quote (except mike14e) is not subject to debate, it is the truth and will remain the truth no matter what you think.
That said, it is not a closed thread :
if you have thoughts, quotes, music, books or anything to share on this topic (the truth/life/present moment), this is what I am waiting for.I am sorry it can be so hard to accept, most of you will believe I am crazy (well, most already do anyway), but it is just the truth.
