Paolo Soleri's Glossary of Terms

Truth

An all given reality, like the one in the mind of God, is a true and full truth. A becoming reality wherein spacetime is not a figment but a maker, is the maker of a becoming truth , i.e., is a truth that is and remains to the end , a conditional fragmented gropings "truth" that is not the (true ultimate) Truth.

That is why the Mistero Tremendo and the anguish and suffering it engenders is "constitutional" to reality itself. Reality is searching for its own Truth. Mind now knows that such Truth since it does not exist yet, cannot be uncovered , it can only be "invented" or created. Anthropomorphically we assign to the "truth" the attributes of our inventions, love at the head, a meaningful, benevolent, reality, Mother Nature...
