How can we find the “truth”?

Question from the Internet?

“What is your standard for truth?”

My standard of truth is false. Whatever I see, feel, determine through my inherently egocentric, subjective consciousness, perception is false. All my experiences, facts are distorted by my own introverted filters, calculations.

If we want to find the “truth” we have to search for it, find it “outside of ourselves”. If we want to recognize the truth, we need a completely selfless, altruistic, objective perception of reality when the instinctively self-serving, self-justifying calculations, assessments fade away.

We can achieve the truth only mutually together in unique environments, setting unique conditions.

This can actually, realistically happen, when a certain number of people willingly, purposefully, methodically “disappear” into each other, constantly attempt and learn how to sense, perceive, and understand reality through the desires, needs and viewpoints of each other while totally annulling their own desires, opinions, and viewpoints.
