In the ancient religion of Jainism there is a beautiful concept of Anekantavada which allows for multiple points of view
I very much agree with this because no one has a monopoly on truth so we can learn from others
We may possess different parts of it so should not automatically dismiss all other interpretations
Thank you for your comments surreptitious57.
First let me just reiterate ( everyone is right and everyone's point of view is equally valid and true, because everyones story is every part of the whole story that CANNOT not be whole. IN the same context as how the holographic theory works) in the same context that a book is inseparable from the pages and chapters.
I've advocated this point many times that everyone knows the truth, and that it's what you are right here and now. You are TRUTH
So in essense: You are truth. - Truth is not some place to approach in the future, or lies somewhere in the past, neither is truth something to attain or to possess. You are truth right here and now as this immediate ever flowing impermanent IS-ness.
You cannot have the WHOLE truth because the nature of you is temporal, transient and always changing, the elements that constitute the world of things is a shapeshifter in constant flux EVER changing from one thing to another, where nothing stays the same, as nature never repeats exactly. So from this perspective there is no one single unified TRUTH because all truths are relative to the one being and expressing it, as the many interpretations of the ONE ..paradoxically it's all ONE TRUTH...appearing as the many.
So what is form? (interpretation is form) The word is the form of the formless. Without someone to label reality there is no reality.
Conceptualisation comes as and through the word of the formless appearing as form = in formation.
How the formless becomes form is part of interpretations which on their turn are part of form.
"formless appearing as form".
Interpretation of "isness" is in fact the dream (illusion).Every interpretation is limited and therefore longs for wholeness...That's what is also called: The cosmic play or drama.

Conclusion: No one knows what IS-ness IS, but descriptives tend to solve that problem.
