>If it's not static, then it's not really the truth.
The truth is static, yes. You and everything you know are subject to change and impermanence.
How do you acquire the truth if none of your experiences are firmly established? You strip all the impermanent factors, everything you think you are, everything you think you know, everything that identifies you as anything.
Then, once all falsehoods are removed, there will be nothing but the truth. A metaphysical truth that words can merely point to.
When we talk about enlightenment, we point a finger towards the moon in order to drive your attention towards it. Then, once you see the moon, would you ever mistake the finger pointing at it for the moon?
During deep meditation, these layers vanish one after the other, until 'you' vanish and there is nothing left that can vanish.

That sounds like mental illness. Like dissociation. 
I can do that, and it does not liberate anyone nor is a truth. 
Have you realized this personally, yourself?

It's not just dissociation, it all happens in a natural fashion and once this state has occured, all doubt about the truth is eliminated.
>Have you realized this personally, yourself?
Yeah, why would I be here discussing it otherwise. I leave book knowledge to others.

You are a false teacher. Dissociation is not healthy for the body. It is a trauma response. You are delusional about the truth.
I have been meditating for 15 years, since I was 13.

Great men have already observed that once you gain insight into phenomena you de-tach yourself and no longer crave or are attracted to those things. You realise that they are not self

Yeah. 
And insight into abuse can liberate you from that abuse too. It can stop a cycle from happening over and over again.
