Yes, but I have also learned with live in a life full of stories. So many different stories and so many different realities it becomes difficult to see exactly what is the "truth".
Recently a foundational, fundamental belief, regarding my origin story, once only shared by my mother, changed drastically, after my father died. They divorced when I was two, 55 years ago. When I learned my father's story from my step-mom, I was shocked to the core. In the end, I have chosen not to challenge my mom's story, even though it reveals her manipulative, controlling tendencies.
I invested my currency of time and took a deep dive into the systems that generate my beliefs. I've learned in life that my happiness greatly depends on how I alchemize energy - emotional, mental, physical and spiritual. When I am shaken to the core, then I need to address my core. My beliefs may form as a result of stories that are truly not mine. It takes work to construct beliefs that are mine while also working to change them in time.
I had to determine that neither story was truly mine, rather a rendition of their personal experiences, perceptions and core beliefs. Each of them brought unhealed pain to their very young relationship, therefore their wounds must be accounted for in my assimilation of their stories... I did not truly get to know my father until I was 35. He was a Vietnam Vet and had accrued a lot more pain by that time, unfortunately his choice to enlist happened as a result of my mom's pregnancy. She, sadly has run victim energy her entire life. I have listened to her tales of suffering and pain my entire life. She did her best to cast enough shame and blame on him to keep me to herself.... It's messy.
Truth is my thoughts and my emotions are my responsibility regardless of the circumstance they originated in. That is the past. Now is the only time I can alchemize the energy in my life. If it is negative, toxic or life inhibiting, I am the only one who can change it. :)
Once I thought the pattern of associations that helped with remembering things was called 'mnemonic,' but now I see it’s actually 'pneumonic'👀. Unless you wrote it that way to trip us up, given the whole 'misinformation' theme—if so, you got me!
I watched a lot of Chinese historical dramas and tv critics always hit them hard for distorting the truth. But what is the truth of history? History is told from the pov of the winners. I think truth is just truth until someone else comes along and prove it wrong.
I grew up when Pluto was called a planet and so for me, it remains our 9th planet. By what real authority does anyone have to demote it?
Thanks for sharing!

So for you, planet Pluto is truth?
Yes, but I have also learned with live in a life full of stories. So many different stories and so many different realities it becomes difficult to see exactly what is the "truth".
Mel
Yeah, I guess I distinguish truth as your brain being hardwired for Pluto, regardless if its a planet or not.
Mine is hardwire for The Eighth, its not true, but to some degree is truth.
Misinformation is everywhere…at schools as well…
On schools today I have no idea. But when I was young for sure.

First of all thank for your comment and for reading, and thank so for a large comment, I love to read it.
So if I may ask, in the end did you take one story and rejected the other completely or is there within you a mix of both that you life with?
(Hope my question makes sense)

Just goes to show that the only thing that is true of stories is our relationship with them.
Have you had the moment of "generational trauma ends here!"?
Yes and have taken action regarding that my entire life.My children have less work to do now. ;)

Oh No! You got me there I cannot lie. I thought it was the right spelling… I wish I could play 4D chest like that.
Should I edit or just leave your comment to shine?
I was engrossed by this post, but now I'm getting even more engrossed by this comment section back and forth. I don't know who or what to believe!
There is some 4D chess being played by Dr Tukur
Ahah, no worries! Honestly, it fits the theme, so I’d say leave it—lets others catch it too!
Absolutely, well you read about my teacher... You can't expect good spelling.
😂

Very true. My teacher taught a version of history where we only won battles, so it doesn't even make sense.
