# What is Maya ; What is Truth?
It is evident that many of us have confused information with knowledge, and knowledge with Truth.
Those of us who have participated in the western schooling systems know that information is shown as if it is knowledge, and that knowledge is mistaken to be truth.
In actuality, information is not knowledge, and knowledge is not necessarily truth, although it can be very truthful.
Information can either be true or false; it can be made up from nothing or derived from something actual.
It can be real or false....it is just information.
Knowledge is embodied experience; learning through doing, and through others doing.
Knowledge is knowing something, and this knowing can come about in a variety of ways, from a variety of sources.
**TRUTH** , on the other hand, is a complicated matter.
Because of the ability of human perception, even "Knowing" something with certainty, doesn't exactly guarantee its truthfulness.
This is because humans have the ability to lie to themselves via the phenomena called [Belief](https://steemit.com/life/@coloured-content/why-belief-in-anything-is-a-bold-faced-lie).
# So what is Truth?
The truth is....there is only one truth.
The more accurate statement is; There is only Truth.
There is only one, fundamental truth ; and it lives inside the all.
The only Truth, is that all things exist, that all things are one, that all "things" are high vibrating frequency, or love, in their original nature, and that all things are a part of the whole; a part of God.
All things derive from this one truth; this one truth called existence.
Light, Love, unity, compassion ; these are qualities of this truth.
This truth is the only *fundamental* reality - and anything that is real derives from and/or is this truth.
This Truth that is within, and that connects all things, can be discovered only through experience; through experience induced epiphany.
The only truth is this miracle of existence.....and anything that is not this fundamental Truth is simply...Maya.
# What is Maya?
The word Maya means Illusion, which is why the (literally) lost civilization in the Mexico region who produced the long count calendar, or the calendar that predicted the 2012 shift, were called (by us) the Mayans.
Their disappearance is an illusion; there is little or no evidence of the civilization other than what they wanted to survive.
Illusion, or Maya, is a creation (or miscreation) of mind. It is a false, or fundamentally untrue, creation within the creation that is reality.
If Truth is ultimate, or fundamental reality, then Maya is unreality ; reality that is not ultimately real.
The significance of this is knowing what is Truth from what is not ultimately real.
Obviously, material objects and the material world are not ultimately real; the body and the Ego are ultimately unreal (though real in experience) ; and anything that is a miscreation of the mind (I.e. Death, Fear) is ultimately unreal.
That which is Truth is fundamental; it cannot be changed.
That which is Maya is only real in experience ; and changes form constantly.
