It seems like to me that Astral "knows" he will fall to the ground if he steps of a building and NC "believes" he will fall to the ground.

But.. regarding truth. For something to be really true could it not be such a thing that was so true that no one could even make up something for saying it was untrue? That in all it's glory it was just true and nothing more?

And popcorn is horrible like that btw
With enough effort some people can be fooled. God could personally reveal Himself to the entire world and announce His Existence. Soon after He could just disappear and leave us without proof. You can certainly believe that devout atheists will chalk it up to a parlor trick, and subservient agnostics would say who knows anyways.

The only time when truth will not be deniable, is at the time of Judgment. In His presence it will not be possible to lie, even unto yourself. But for now, here on earth, we are allowed to be as ignorant as we wish to be.
