We are neither trained, nor ready to understand the truth. From our early education till maturity, we play the truth card in the most subjective way. We are good in building the truth not discovering it. We don't have the logical and intelectual tools to do this because of the education system. Only very few people with metaphisic approach are capable to "find" the "truth". Nowadays, as in the past, truth belongs to "truth manufacturers" and as consumers we are happy just to enjoy their "product".
I think there is a note in the text on how "truth" and "reality" as they define the world are fundamentally subjective. And you're right; the "Truth" in itself cannot be but transcendent, of a religious nature. It's a complex subject to be detailed in one text; I believe that what we call "truth" is, at the personal level, the result of all four cognitive functions (thinking, feeling, sensing, intuition). The four pillars of truth are the truth of the senses, logical truth, the truth of the heart, and the revealed truth. Part of our problem today is that we call truth only the logical truth, the thinking part, and dismiss the others as "fiction", much more than taking "pre-fabricated" truths from education. We're taught that only science has the truth, which is false.

"How do we know unicorns do not exist?"
Actually they do. Rhinos are good enough unicorns. There might be others as well but I stick to rhinos. 😁
