I believe there are only 2 way to reach truth.

1. experience your truth 2. do statistically sound study to show if your truth is in fact the truth of majority.

to challenge and test the use of , meditation and 'Mindfulness', JUST TRY IT on yourself. this won't kill you or cost you fortune. find your own truth.

P.S. - I think this magazine Article to be somewhat hocus - pocus. I can't pinpoint what's wrong1 except something just doesn't seem right!

Number two seems not right. For the path you’re talking about to be useful, shouldn’t it still work even if you’re the last person on left on Earth? Number two also assumes that the majority of people are also searching for truth (seems they aren’t, currently) or have already found it (which would require that they’d been already searching).

If, i am the last person on earth. I can still find my truth, by experiencing it myself. it's not 1 and 2. it's 1 or 2.

You can't "reach" truth. Truth is a quantum state. I think "finding your own truth" is just a euphemism for "be comfortable with your interpretation of reality". (unless you meant to say "peace", in which case you can probably achieve a kind of peace and reasonably observe it)

I think, your truth is your (interpretation of) reality. I believe, any and every thing else doesn't matter.

Avoid using words never, always, ever, all, none, only. Most sentences containing those words are not true given enough space and time.

i think 1 is no good. human perception has too many bugs.

Would argue that your own experience is the only thing that matters.
