Dear Ones -

“Do Truth and Character Matter?”

That’s the title I gave to the teaching I offered this week in Ordinary Life. Last week I introduced the matter of truth. The teaching ended with the phenomenon in our time called “alternative facts.” This week I began by referring to the critically important need of our staying aware of “projection” and “transference” as potent psychological factors in our relationships. Then, described the degrees of “truth” that exist among any group of people. Until Covid there was an alliance between truth, science, faith, and trust. Healthy civilizations have had the goal of discerning knowledge in order to dispel ignorance and, then, base societal decisions on a consensus of what is true so that the culture and people in it can flourish.

That’s a very brief summary of this week’s time in Ordinary Life.
