In Greek, the word for truth is alethia, and its opposite is lethe, which means âforgetfulnessâ or âoblivion.â In Greek myths, if you drink the water of the River Letheâwhich flows through Hadesâs underworldâyou forget who you are and remain there, lost and wandering. Truth means remembering. The experience of direct recognition is like waking up from sleepwalking: it reveals who you have always been.
