84. Is that the Truth?

Maybe not, but probably shines some light on it. Bravo! Once again you carry the dialog on your back for a spell. Two particularly good points re: Reality and Truth.

Reality is like consciousness, it has more than one contextual framework. The reality of a bloodhound's world of scent and smell is rich reality and entirely beyond our ken, but an important component of Truth to the bloodhound. Yet our limitation in no way hinders our relationship to that very Truth.

Truth is an ideal, and I'm struck by your remark:

"...'I don't know The Truth ... and I don't need to in order to proceed forward.' I also choose to believe in something worth believing in, but because I do not have to presume knowledge of The Truth I can safely consider new information."

I can only wonder if you can safely consider new information presuming an absence of Truth?
