Mind's Eye Re: The Truth and Nothing But...

Facts are an important fact-or of consensus reality which is based solely on mind (temporal).  There is more to truth than that, but relative truth can be found with facts, including consensus truths.  But they are relative.

Yet, it is YOU who is central to everything, including facts you are aware of. 

Facts are truths of the moment, as it is in your insight and conviction.

Even whether a 'story' is complete, or not, is a matter of your perception.

Of course, it depends upon how much details you've gone on to acquire 

and place in your awareness, analysed it and obtained a consistent insight 

with a critical eye.

The elephant in the room can be known for what it is.

But it takes focus, the opposite of dissipation, 

and hell of a lot of going through. 

We've generally lost the motivation for going after facts

and the art of going through !

Was thinking more about Vam's statement about facts. Well, who
presents the facts and how are they edited or censored? Many were
content to think of American Indians as Tonto(Lone Ranger) until "Bury
My Heart at Wounded Knee" by Dee Brown came out. When facts have a
political, religious or social purpose, you can bet you are not
getting the complete story. Same with families who whitewash family
history. No one who has read British history believes the Olympic
opening ceremony selections are the full story- that's entertainment-
otherwise fisticuffs and tears.
