Closer to the Truth

One further thought about listening. Assuming that you could actually deconstruct the "thought/culture screen" through which a perception registers as a memory, is it possible that your perception would be true/false apparent? I can think of experiences listening to music without a mind screen; when present music was not the primary mind focus but was just background. In such an experience, I believe there is, as the music comes to conscious awareness, a momentary aperspectival sense of pure like/dislike. Then, my "mind attention" grabs the sound and categorizes it within the me-google. If this "mind attention" onset could be delayed or deferred for a brief period, perhaps a pure listener might discern the truth quality of the thought spoken. Words, or sets of words, may express a truth coefficient, and regrettably, we don't know how to hear it. Is the audience listening? john
