seek not the answer, for the answer is never the answer, seek the question, for the question is the only thing that holds true in all cases, where as the answer cannot hold true for all cases.
the question may ask, what is 2 + 2, one answer is 4, but that is true, but not in every case, what if the asker wanted to know what it was called. than it is a math problem..
get me?

Right! Sometimes when we try to tell the truth to answer a question it is only our point of view. It isn't THE answer, it is just our answer. If someone asks you to describe an event you might explain it very differently than the next witness would. That doesn't mean either one of you is lying or wrong just that you percieved the situation differently. What we experience is explained by each of us differently, because it is based on what we have experienced before, our personalities, and our emotions at the time. Sometimes it is based in who our friends are and what we already know about them, or sometimes it is based in predjudices, we have developed about certain kinds of people...
For example the sentence: "The snobish yuppies totally rejected me," seems to be a statement of fact, but it could just be the emotional perspective of the person speaking. The other people might say, "The new boy was really shy," or "It seems he didn't like us." Both seem very true from the point of view of the speaker, but in fact neither is really true.
On a deeper level, the truth is hard to determine, and in Science more than one opposing theory could be correct at least in part. The surface of the water might appear calm, but deeper down there may be a powerful undertow. Part of the water is calm, the part you can see. Part of the water is moving powerfully, the part you can't see.
The weather may be perfect in most of the States, but you can bet somewhere there is a storm. Maybe the storm is felt by a psychic, who is standing in the sun. It could be the storm she feels is coming to the place she is now, or it could be the storm is hitting another part of the world at the same time. Maybe it is symbolic of her feelings, or the feelings of someone she knows or in physically near. It is very very hard for her to tell, because she is experiencing a storm on a sunny day. It makes no sense, to anyone, but it is real because she is experiencing it. If she takes the chicken little approach without thought, and tells everyone a terrible storm is coming she could be discredited, but if she doesn't come forward, and there is a terrible storm, she is guilty of some sort of negligence. Looking deeper and trying to get a feel for her vision might help, but in the end, it is up to her to guess.

I learned that from expereince, and from my wiccan brother in law. We had some very long talks a while back, and this was one of the truths we discussed.

aye..
another..
time is not real. time is man made, for there is today, tomorrow, and yesterday in mans eyes. yet if tommorow were to come, then today would become yesterday. what happens to the otehr yesterday? and then what happens to tomorrow? so in all technicality, there is a void in time. therfore it is never time, time does not pass, we do.
