As for the concept of "truth" though (which you say you're not hearing)... we know what can be said about that. I've personally witnessed you shutting down on me when I've said something simple and truthful (which I saw in A_uk's communication too), so that suggests to me that you're not hearing "your" truth. If you say you're not hearing THE truth, then you're essentially saying that I'm not speaking the truth... nor is anyone else... and that doesn't make sense. It makes more sense that people protect/sustain whatever kind of truth works for them. And we're all living in our own cloud services.
I agree with you.
except to say that when I'm not hearing the truth, this does not mean the other person is not telling their truth. I'm just not buying into a story that isn't mine that's all. The other person is only telling their truth that is true for them.
You are wrong about me shutting down on people. Because I still respond to you and A_uk
If I was to shut down on anyone I would stop responding immediately, the thing is, we all want to be right and true. We've all got a story to tell and share. My belief is that it's all just our own story, but sometimes what is one persons story is not what another persons story is, so there is bound to be conflict, but all we are doing is discussing how our stories differ that's all.
To me, we all know the truth, the truth is within all of us because we are the truth.
I know I'm a bit hard core when it comes to truth because to me, there is no truth except what we make up or believe. If language had never been invented, there would be no truth to be talking about, silence is my only truth.
I've only ever shut down on one person on this forum and that is the character named AGE
