Truth

There are three ways truth manifests, and you can remember them by their antonym.

1. When your words match your thoughts then you are being truthful (or at least trying to be). The antonym is lie. When your words don't match your thoughts you're lying.

2. When appearance matches being. For instance if there is a bar of gold on the table and under its surface it is really gold then that is a true bar of gold. If it looks gold but has lead inside then it is fake, or counterfeit. The antonym is counterfeit. 

3. Finally when your perception matches reality that is true perception. If you look at a Volkswagen Beetle and see a roundish car that is true perception. If you look at it and see an elephant that is illusion. The antonym here is illusion.

True vs. lie.

True vs. counterfeit.

True vs. illusion.

Delusion is close to illusion but delusion has to do with beliefs; illusion to perception. 

Biblical examples:

True vs. lie (Satan in the Garden (yea, hath God said? vs. what God actually told Adam and Eve.)

True vs. counterfeit (false idols vs. the true Creator of Heaven and Earth.)

True vs. illusion (Man is inherently good vs. man is a fallen being and inherently a sinner.)
