Hello Mic,

I have thought for some time now, that to the extent, events actually do 
occur (not an illusion) along the space time continuum which we occupy, the 
passage of those actual events would form our actual historical timeline. The 
historical events themselves are not in question. It is the consciousness of 
the observing witnesses to those events that is wanting. Within a given li
fetime observational acuity and motivational biases, will vary from person to 
person. Once we go outside of our little 70+yr old windows of direct 
observation, all becomes very hazy indeed in terms of objective or inherent 
truth. 

>If we are truth seekers then where is the best place to find truth?

What we are left with is the working state of our own developed intuition, 
or, a fortunate (karmic) moment of discovery that leads us to the illumined 
intuitions of greater ones than ourselves. Abiding TRUTH is a product of the 
inner planes. Transient truths are it's passing reflections, onto this 
passing stage of existence.

At least, that's the way it seems to me.

Best regards,

Louis
