Concepts are never adequate to the truth, because they are secondary to it. Truth is the cause, and its description, model, is the effect. Therefore, this model is always limited and distorts the truth. Therefore, different philosophical traditions offer ways of direct non-conceptual knowledge of the truth. Seeing the world as it is. If a person knows the truth, no words, definitions, formulas, signs will be enough for him to describe it adequately in full. Therefore, the apophatic method is often used to describe the truth. That is, they are trying to tell us what the truth is not.
Now I will express a strange thing – few people, perhaps, will understand, and many will experience irritation. But in general, all ideas, especially those that have passed the test of time, work.

What exactly is closer and to what truth? “Is there life on Mars?” (film Carnival Night) “I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end”? (Revelation. 1:8), “There is only a moment between the past and the future, it is called life” (words of the famous song). “Where will we be after death? The same place where the unborn rest.” (Seneca).�
The philosophical terms you have given are no less than thousands and thousands of years old. And each new generation introduces its own additions to the definition of these terms, although so far, for tens of thousands of years of human existence, no one has found out what the TRUTH of BEING is. There were and still are many points of view, either as in Solipsism, which means “I AM ONE”, or as in Palingenesis-BORN AGAIN, or in open individualism (Tat Tvam Asi) – YOU ARE LIKE THAT.
