This is the second in a series of our observations, hypotheses, thoughts, and considerations about our universe.
I exist in a matrix of my own beliefs. It appears I'm making choices based on "best evidence" or whatever criteria I feel justifies my behavior associated with my choices.

No wonder change seems so difficult - I'm working myself to death applying insanity to fix the insanity

When is the last time you questioned your reality? How sure are you of its truth? Do you ever find yourself asking, "Is it true?"
We do - everyday. The object of that question is the subject of exploration in this volume of...
