And, as I've said *many times* here, I DON'T KNOW THE TRUTH. I don't even *believe* in such a thing as 'TRUTH.'" --Barry Wright, 7/31/07 "I worked with a teacher for many years who per- sonified the 'I can't tell you the "truth" about enlightenment because there IS no "truth" about enlightenment that can be put into words' philos- ophy I have been rappin' about recently. He went out of his way to point out that everything he was saying was in a context, and from a particular point of view. Shift context and change points of view and, he said, it would no longer be true." --Barry Wright, 9/21/07 (And endless other similar examples...)
