Precisely, those who are 'trying to hide these things under some cloak of a new-age lie'. If there is no one out there who is trying to do so, then my exhortation is null and void, so why should anyone be concerned at my mad ramblings? However, if the cap does fit for anyone, then perhaps it is a reflection of something within their own reality which has been agitated, something they have created within their subjective reality.

Ahhh, I see: that post was just aimless.

No, it was a response to your, 'if your aim is to assure yourself that you are right ...'.
I had no aim or intention within the context of your statement.

Okay: A lie is not always a lie. Sometimes it just looks like a lie, and if you look at it another way, it's the truth.
Like the OP was saying (I think): what looks like good and evil can transform completely if you look at them from another angle, and so can your problems with them.

So, when is a lie not a lie? Could you possibly give a few examples? Looking at good or evil from another perspective does not transform it. You are just changing your viewpoint of it - big difference.
If your partner cheats on you, then denies it, then he has lied. No matter what viewpoint you or he adopts, no matter how your dress it up, does not alter the fact that he lied. It's done.
Am I missing something here?
