Question: What are the first steps in learning to discern the truth?

Answer: One of the things that makes music good for us is our effortless relationship with its harmony and balance, with its rhythm and composition. We don’t have to be experts to discern these elements because they naturally resonate with similar aspects in our own (presently unconscious) nature. The same holds true for discerning Truth. You cannot learn it. You can’t even be taught it. You just know it… and practicing what you know strengthens your relationship with Truth.
