Human interpretations of Truth are as varied as grains of sand on the beach. Why? It's because each individual constructs their perception of Truth based on a host of factors that influence Who They Are such as what they were taught by their parents (or caregivers), friends, family, culture, tradition, religion, education, media, peers, and personal experiences. Even race and gender can play roles in what a person perceives to be Truth. These and other factors create a diverse understanding of Truth from one person to another and this diversity causes Truth to exist in relative interpretations by so many people. It's common for people to believe that "your Truth is not my Truth". The Nexus Complex presents this perception is not only an inaccurate assessment of Truth but also, it's dangerous and harmful to humanity in general but even more importantly...to you. The Nexus Complex says Truth exists in a universal, predictable, observable, and verifiable state of "Is-ness" or "What Is". In other words, whatever exists in actuality is Truth rather than what humans might perceive this to be. Therefore, Truth exists in this state of actuality whether or not we know it or want to know it. An interesting aspect of Truth is that it continually illustrates itself and its aspects. The key is to know how to see it, understand it, and apply for your benefit. However, since humans have not done a very good job of doing this, a host of inaccurate perceptions has been the status quo throughout history. There are several reasons why we have failed at understanding Truth but the two most prominent are: 

• The lack of desire to seek and know Truth
• The lack of education systems that impart Truth

Although our comprehension of Truth is shaped by many factors (such as those mentioned above), we have all created our own interpretations of it that often do not coincide with its actuality. For instance, if Truth advises that keeping secrets from one another is not in our best interest but our personal versions of Truth tell us this is acceptable, this can cause non-beneficial outcomes when secrets are employed in our relationships with one another. Even though our perceptions of Truth indicate many things to us, if they don't correlate to what Actual Truth states is beneficial and non-beneficial...it is very likely we will create choices that are harmful to others and ourselves. It's easy to see this has been the case within the scope of humanity by simply observing the wide array of our harmful choices throughout history. War, rape, racism, genocide, rape, murder, slavery, greed, theft, and corruption are just several of these examples (among many others). You can even do the same by observing yourself since it's probable that your version of Truth has guided you to create various choices that did not bode well for you. The Nexus Complex states that human Ignorance of Truth has been the primary cause of all suffering...including your own. The good news is you have Choice and Free Will available to change this course at anytime you desire. In essence, Truth illustrates that Love is in your best interest and Fear is not. It's that simple. Understanding the mechanics of this concept and many others regarding Truth is why The Nexus Complex was conceived, written, and offered in hopes that with the Knowledge of Truth comes a reconfiguration of the self and eventually, all of humanity. Thus, it would do you well to examine your perceptions of the thing that governs your entire existence...Truth. It's quite likely they contradict Truth to various degrees. Even though Truth is constant, The Nexus Complex presents that it can only be conceived by a human being in one of three ways:

• Known in its actuality
• Perceived in various levels of distortion
• Unknown or undiscovered 

To make this easier to comprehend, The Nexus Complex offers data regarding Truth using the first two conceptions from the above list. It refers to these as Actual Truth and Perceived Truth. Here are their definitions taken from the book: 

Actual Truth

A state of constant, unassailable actuality of existence that transcends opinion, assumption, interpretation, and perception; the totality and/or aspects of actuality, existence, or essence; authenticated Knowledge of What Is.  

Perceived Truth

A state of perceived actuality of existence based on opinion, assumption, or interpretation; perceived totality or aspects of actuality, existence, or essence; unauthenticated Knowledge of What Is.

From the perspective of The Nexus Complex, the old adage, "What you don't know can't hurt you" is not only false, it's dangerous to your level of happiness. In fact, it advises that what you don't know can and will harm you in some form and at some time! So, if you think Truth is relative, you might want to reassess your perspective. Truth is Truth no matter where you find it. It is simply "What Is". Remember, there are only three ways you can conceive Truth: you can know its actuality, you can perceive it inaccurately, or you have yet to discover it. Which of these do you think will in your best interest? Finally, here is a brief excerpt from that might offer you a bit more information on how Truth is presented by The Nexus Complex: A Personal Guide to Truth

"What is Truth? How do we locate it? Is it real, imagined, or in some way malleable to suit our desires in the events or situations that happen in our lives? Truth is What Is. It is that simple. What is not so simple is dismantling our conditioned perceptions and reconfiguring a new comprehension that aligns with Actual Truth. Few human beings are aware that their comprehensions of Truth are perceptions. Do you recall how the pie charts at the closing of the last chapter illustrated a primitive sapient being's narrow slice of pie appears to them as being the entire pie? Do you remember this also was inferring they are often unaware that more of the pie exists? Because you think or believe you know Truth is no confirmation of whether you do or not. If you know Truth in its actuality, you have proven to yourself you know. You can support this "knowing" to others based on your verified Knowledge but you can only disclose this proof in a conceptual form. They must verify Truth's actuality for themselves. Certainly, we have the capability to transfer conceptual Knowledge of Truth to one another but no human can verify it for another because the process of verifying Actual Truth requires Experiential Knowledge specific to the individual.

            Actual Truth is immutable and immovable. Our perceptions of it are malleable. You can choose to adjust your perceptions of it, break yourself against it, deny it altogether, or recognize it as What Is and comprehend its actuality. The decision is yours to experience any of these options but be forewarned, Truth is indifferent to any choice you create. Truth offers itself freely but has no opinion whether you seek it or not. It is advantageous to comprehend Truth in its actuality rather than attempting to interpret it but keep in mind, there is no "right" or "wrong" within the mechanics of Truth. There is only "what works and what does not work" governed by What Is.

            Within the context of The Nexus Complex, Actual Truth is the verified actuality of its various social aspects. That Truth is "verifiable" means it can be proven (if data is available). It is not known as Actual Truth by any individual until it has been verified. On the other hand, Perceived Truth is founded on a multitude of non-verifiable opinions, beliefs, assumptions, and/or interpretations of Truth and its aspects. This does not mean people can or will verify every aspect of Truth. The existence/non-existence of God(s) or the interior physics of black holes are two suitable examples of Actual Truth that humankind has not yet authenticated. Thus, they are perceived until proven. Actual Truth is the actuality of a thing rather than the perceived actuality of a thing by a sapient being. Perceptions cannot define Actual Truth; they provide approximations."
