Q: …things are starting to seem illusionary to me. Events, things are happening, and I’m wondering what’s the reality of an event when it happens?

A: The reality is in the eye of the perceiver. And so if you’ve read eyewitness reports of some incidents that many people have [seen], it turns out that what they see is far more about who they are how they feel before they saw it than it is about what they saw. The basis from which you observe something is much bigger than the event that you are observing, and so the ‘reality’ of any event is really a variable.

Q: So there’s a lot of realities, correct? And so where is the truth in an event that unfolds?

A: There are as many truths as there are perceivers of the truth because you are the creators of them. And so that’s why it is very delightful to watch you all argue with one another about whose perspective is the accurate one, when in reality every perspective is so accurate that you are creating your own reality around it. Now, there is a difference between the reality that you prefer and the reality that you don’t prefer. We would pay attention to that, we would be creators of realities that we prefer. But we would never look at some static event and say, “That’s the way it is, and it’s awful and I don’t like it, but it’s truth.” Instead, we would say, “Someone created a truth that I do not choose to create. I’m looking over here and creating a different truth.” And it is amazing how many worlds exist in one world. It is infinite. This world that you think is such stable reality is so illusionary.
