higher truth
Wisdom beyond facts
Higher truth refers to a form of knowledge or understanding believed to transcend ordinary facts or empirical evidence—something spiritually, morally, or philosophically deeper than surface reality.
The phrase often appears in religious or mystical contexts: Meditation reveals higher truths.
It can also be used dismissively for claims that conveniently bypass evidence: He justified the lie by appealing to some higher truth.
