Dear Janielee,

I would begin by reminding his holiness the Dalai Lama that his own life is the work of imagination. This does not make it any less real.

From the body you profess to exist within, to the thoughts that you have, to your invented human persona, all are works of imagination. This does not make it any less real. On the contrary, that which is real is that which you choose to be your experience. Your experience does not require the belief of someone else in order to be real.

As with all stories, there are elements of truth and there are elements of embellishment. But with all written works you must decide your own connections with the information, and assign your own value based on its implications for you. It is easy to become distracted and distrusting of the form of the messenger, therefore, allow information to be scrutinized by what it delivers, not by whom it is delivered.

Truth wears the robes of many forms and guises, and requires us to look deeper beyond our predisposition of judgement for greater wisdom. The delivery of truth comes with imperfections of language, translation and transcription, as well as transience of memory. Let nothing then be your definitive truth, but merely a signpost to a greater truth yet to be discovered.
