I'm not saying anything about any particular post. I'm directly questioning this LC "axiom of truth." The problem with axioms is that they are stated as true, but you cannot prove it, you can only see the result as consistently true. Is this axiom really true? Are all of the "other sides" that Lee came up with actually true, and is it correct to always assume that there must be another side?

(Is this worthy of it own thread?)

Interesting catch, OBW. Honestly, I truly can't recall having picked this up - certainly not as a basic premise - in the LC (which doesn't mean it didn't happen). This is something I have been considering since my time out of the LC.

Yes, I think a thread on this would be helpful (at least to me). I would be interested in hearing the LC teaching on this (who knows, even though I don't remember it, perhaps it slipped into my subconscious after so many years and I need to address it). I can share with you some of the thoughts I've been pondering as of late on this issue of the two-foldness of truth...

p.s. btw, I'm not sure I agree even with myself that every truth has two sides - but that's not what you're challenging anyways (if i read you correctly)...
