I gather you're claiming that thoughts can't lead to truth, since thoughts require multiple moments (like how a movie requires multiple frames). Is this accurate?
So what led you to this conclusion? Surely it was thought. But wait!! Thought can't lead to truth!!! That's bad news for your theory--
Since truth can't be found through thoughts, and since thinking led you to the claim 'truth cannot be found through thoughts', then that means your claim ('truth cannot be found through thoughts') must be false. So that means truth CAN be found through thoughts, hmm? |

Truth is a state of being and the thought "truth" is a symbolic representation for it. Thinking only leads to more thinking. You have to transcend the symbolic interface that we exist in to know Truth. And when you come back, you can only describe it by what it is not (in Vedanta: neti or "not this") or through paradox or nonsensical statements like a Zen koan.
The concept of Truth is up for revision, but that is a concept and not Truth itself.
