Truth is Absolute, you cannot add or subtract from truth, if you do that it will not be truth, when you say distorted versions of truth actually they are our beliefs. We grow up with certain sets of beliefs and live with them, however, the truth is every belief we gain we gain from others not from experience and our belief system is so strong that it blinds us from seeing truth. So if you want to see the truth, you need to shed away all the beliefs and start looking at things like a new born baby and then you will have true experience as the experience changes with our thoughts. Like we are told that going to temple is good and worshipping god is good, so you start doing that and because of this belief you are unable to believe that everything is God and you are unable to treat everything and everyone as God. If you can’t believe that then how would you know the truth…even if you know, you will not be able to bring that into your behaviour and reality. So you need to shed away all your beliefs and be a seeker and experience, everything is already there, you just need to shed away all your beliefs to experience truth and then you would know..These obstacles are inside you…so be a seeker of truth not the believer
