Glenys presents a definite illusion:
It is that truth is relative; that you have your truth and I have my truth and it is irrelevant if they differ etc.
We discussed this in great depth in the past if anyone is interested and wants to search the archives.
JJ:
We did discuss this quite a bit years ago. I think you could find some articles on it by doing a search for the words "Absolute Truth."
It is interesting that many students of the Course In Miracles see the truth as relative when the course itself says:
"The truth is true and nothing else is true."
When one falls for the illusion that truth is relative then he can change the truth into a lie and has no foundation of truth with which to build a philosophy of life.
Stephen Spielberg is upset at Mel Gibson for making the movie - The Passion of Christ. He thinks it is an insult to the Jews, of which he is one.
To counter the Passion movie he is said to be working on three movies about the Crusades which will portray Christians as murderous thugs. He thinks this will provide balance for Gibson's movie.
Question: What is the illusion that is motivating Spielberg?
Genius may have its limitations, but stupidity is not this handicapped. -- Elbert Hubbard: (1856-1915)
