What's this "Truth Contest" thing?

[TopFrenulumSex]

I've been seeing this title everywhere, from Reddit, comment sections on YT, and even the dark depths of /b/ (I'm not kidding).
It seems people are treating it as some form of "enlightenment".

You will find several things on the internet. Truth is the one thing that is probably in short supply. Especially on Reddit. Mountains of pages of BS. And you will definitely find no enlightenment...BTW I have no idea what you are talking about.

Call me an unaccepting ignorant, but this stuff seems very cult - ish.

Just seems like a place for religious and theoretical people to communicate online together. There is also a religious and non religious version. Many people will call religions "cults" and mock them. But I see nothing wrong in this site. Let people have their beliefs, as long as they don't hurt others with them.

It is scam? Don't be ridiculous. Why people talk ♥♥♥♥ about something that they don't know nothing about, i mean did you read the book or did you give it a chance? Atleast that one guy is honest for saying he don't know what is he talking about... Religion is a different story than knowing the truth of life. And whoever is saying that no-one knows the truth or whatever, clearly doesn't know anything about true life. People are having so big ego's these days that there is no room anymore to breathe. Do some research before talking rubberish, please.

Yup. That's exactly what a cultist would say. Reminds me a bit of Scientology... Just, that this won't get as big.

*The operator of the truth contest site is a brain washing criminal who stalks a physics student that goes by the name 'Rog Rabbit' on youtube/G+ (Roger Gaona on facebook). Check out his music playlists and you'll often find the spam within them. Typical cheap stalker.*

*You might also wanna check these links out that expose the truth contest scam*

I've been hearing about this lately so I decided to give the top entry named, "The Present" a go. I read the book without religion and I thought it was very interesting. There seemed to be nothing wrong with the book itself. Although I do question the author thinking the Beatles were prophets which was a part I did not get {ССЫЛКА УДАЛЕНА}(http://www.truthcontest.com/entries/the-present-universal-truth/beatles.html).

I think the book does make a few good points about life in general. For example, a lot of unnecessary suffering that can be avoided and how our minds can create that. I also do agree with the larger point of the book that human beings in general should focus on the present moment instead of focusing on other time periods (past failures/problems, fear of the future).

Wish there was more discussion about the website in general and about the book itself. I've been trying to find more criticism to the book itself but a lot of the times the people who do write them say that they jumped around the book instead of fully reading it. About it being a cult, maybe I'm reta-rded but it didn't seem like the overall message of the book was harmful in anyway. The truth of life being to live in the present moment, see how beautiful life is right now, our minds create unnecessary suffering which can be avoided, etc.

So I encourage others to read this book and to tell me if I'm completely autistic.

Huh. The only thing I found interesting about the site was a link to a George Carlin skit, which was a great one, but from not to long before he passed, and not to long after his wife had passed, so his insightful routine was coming from a far darker place than his usual wit.

Interesting choice.
