Reality is indeed event based. "Quality events" create reality. However, I
still maintain that the reality created by these events is one way and only
one way, and that the way that it is what we label "truth". Dynamic
Quality, of course, makes it so that reality is ever-changing, but at any
given moment, reality is one way and only one way. There aren't multiple
truths. Once again, at this moment, Bill Clinton is either President or he
isn't. We can't have it both ways.
Incidentally, I would still like to see some examples where there is more
than one truth.
