"Reality is what we take to be true. What we take true
is what we believe ... What we believe determines
what we take to be true."
David Bohm
In our culture, we are bombarded with information and we can search knowledge through the use of our computers, libraries, research centers and human experience. There are elders who have lived in different circumstances and they, too, have wisdom to share.
I have never been very good about documenting sources of knowledge as I have been extensively searching all of my life. I can retain the substance, but it blends with all of the other information I have gathered. I have added, subtracted and multiplied my belief system.
Recently I have become aware of history being changed in our educational series for schools. The horrific invasion upon the Indian cultures have been adapted to draw a picture of tribes being gently taken to shelters. I find this offensive and disrespectful. It makes me sadly aware of how long we have been dabbling in the reinvention of history.
