People like to say that the conflict is between good and evil. The real conflict is between truth and lies.

We never stop to consider that our beliefs are only a relative truth thats always going to be distorted by all the knowledge we have stored in our memory.

I can say, Well, Im a male. Im a male human. Im a medical doctor. Im an author... If I go to a religious point of view, I will say, I am a soul. I am a spirit. If I go into science, I will say, I am energy. I am light. But the truth is I have no idea what I am.

When we believe in lies, we cannot see the truth, so we make thousands of assumptions and we take them as truth. One of the biggest assumptions we make is that the lies we believe are the truth!

In our development, as we grow throughout our lives, the structure of our beliefs becomes very complicated, and we make it even more complicated because we make the assumption that what we believe is the absolute truth.
