What if we lived in a universe in which ALL of the stories we tell to ourselves and to others are "true," and just *seem* to be contradictory? What if the universe supported ALL of these seeming contradictions, without missing a step, and found a way to reconcile ALL of them? It seems to me that we DO live in such a universe. If it can reconcile all these seemingly contradictory stories, why can't we? We can, by being more universal, which is what were trying to do, if we aspire to enlightenment. Learning to recognize ones cherished stories as relative perspectives that are not necessarily more true than their opposites is a powerful technique for enlightenment.
