Haters are going to hate.
Praisers are going to praise.
The Bungie Forums are what keeps my mind sharp and my fingers active, between writing my own movie scripts, drawing, and studying industrial design. At the moment I'm working on miniatures for a short movie that I'll hopefully be able to film once I've saved up for a camera... That's me, with the mug, trying to have a conversation with Konoko.
Truth probably belived in the Great Journey, and that by activating the rings, he somehow would have been granted salvation from a doomed existence. Why else would he have followed through and made Johnson activate them? EDIT: he might have known that the Ark was outside of the blast radius though?
Truth and the other Prophets that studyed the Forerunner, anything Forerunner they could find, did their best to translate it, but even so, ended up drawing the wrong conclusions; there might have been something the Forerunners called the Great Journey, but whether it was a metaphor for dying or an a actual step towards something as salvation, we do not yet know.
It is hard to know exactly, what is what without being able to place the words in their exact context, but it is safe to say that all of the concepts exist in the Haloverse, they just might not mean exactly what the Prophets/Covenant thought.
