This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for September 02, 2008:
This is something that I view differently at different points of my journey. In the beginning of my adult life I'd probably say it's the same. Now I feel it's the exact opposite! Isn't it amazing?
Now, to me, fact means something that I experience as physical. It is in other words a creation, an element of the dream I'm dreaming. And so - and there's a beautiful humor to that! - a fact - which we tend to associate with something solid, stable, measurable - is really but a divine soap bubble!
Truth however is that which is real - that which creates the illusory facts- that which you cannot measure, cannot document, cannot prove, cannot grasp. But you can feel it. You can know it - not intellectually but intuitively and/or as a direct experience in consciousness.
I am Truth. You are Truth. And we play with facts as if they were real! Wow!!
