The Perspective Born of the Self
The window can bear witness to the Light without claiming that its frame contains all of Heaven.
Each character contemplates from a particular perspective.
The body, the era, the culture, the language, memory, knowledge, desire, and the wound participate in what they can see and in the way they interpret it.
From that perspective, true testimonies can be uttered to their measure:
«This I lived».
«This I observe».
«This I understand from my place».
The particular experience deserves to be heard. It does not cease to be real because it is not universal.
But the Truth contained in a testimony is not born from the character who utters it. The character delivers perspective, language, and Form; the Correspondence with the facts and with the Word is what makes what they say true.
The inversion begins when the character calls their perspective complete Truth and denies all reality that does not fit within it.
We must distinguish the Truth from our affirmation about the Truth.
The Truth does not change to accommodate the character.
Human word can be incomplete, imprecise, or false.
Our understanding can be broadened.
Our expression can be corrected.
The Symbol through which we communicate can open a depth we had not previously Recognized.
But what is truly Revealed as Truth does not afterwards become its opposite.
If an affirmation changes from Truth to lie, it was not the Truth that changed: an interpretation we had confused with it fell.
Therefore saying «this was Revealed to me» does not close Discernment.
It begins it.
What did I truly contemplate?
What interpretation did the character add?
What desire may be mixing in?
What facts must I respect?
What voice have I not heard?
What fruit does my affirmation produce?
The Truth does not need the character to declare themselves infallible to defend it.
It remains when our word is corrected.
Whoever confuses their window with the Sun does not magnify the Light.
They block the way.
