Since we're talking about truth, I want to comment on what we mean by truth. As a person who has cross-examined (probably close to two hundred?) witnesses for a living for over the past five years as an criminal defense attorney, I think it's important to keep in mind the following:
If by truth you mean factual statements about reality, these are often philosophically and even practically unachievable. There is no bird's eye view of reality that we have access to in 3d, and I think it's going to remain that way in 4d. All we have is perception of various people. And studies, expert witneses on eyewitness testimony, and my experience have taught me that you can never really know. The California Jury Instructions regarding Evidence; Calcrim No. 226 Witnesses:Calcrim No. 226: Witnesses
This is so true it's not even funny. Even in cases where the question of fact are about actions.
So while it's often important to have a strong blue ray and speak the truth, and be honest, it's very useful to understand that you are speaking your truth, and leave open room for other views of the situation. Sometimes there really is no right or wrong answer as to interpreting several people's perception of an event, whether it's something seen in person, whether it's on video (did he premeditate the murder), or in forum posts, even if everyone is looking at the same thing.
I think truth is much definable if we talk about concepts and philosophy. This is why, in my opinion, the Ra channelings focus so much on philosophy concepts. The real truth, is in concepts, and we incarnate in order to apply those concepts to the mess of often practically indeterminate factual reality in physical reality. I think we make it harder on ourselve when we adamantly believe certain facts, because, as many philosophers in the area of epistlemology would say, facts about physical reality are basically unknowable. That doesn't mean we shouldn't make decisions based on our perception, but it is useful to do so with the understanding that we are making a decision based on our (or perhaps the majority) perception, while leaving room for other views.

Quote:Do not automatically reject testimony just because of inconsistencies or conflicts. Consider whether the differences are important or not. People sometimes honestly forget things or make mistakes about what they remember. Also, two people may witness the same event yet see or hear it differently.
