hey Dave -

I view perception and truth as totally separate things.

perception for me is my experience of the outside reality I've created. With my body, via my 5 senses (plus intuition and feelings) my mind filters the "experience" I believe I am having. perceptions allow contrast which then leads to desire, imaginitive thought, and creation - which we then "experience" through perception and thus the process goes.

when we are over identified with body and the outside "reality" then it appears as cause and effect - for instance:

you drop a glass > glass shatters > you cut your hand > you perceive pain and reinforce belief in accidents & pain

but if we look at perception as only an experiencing of a reality our mind is creating, it becomes something more like this:

I believe in accidents and pain > I have thoughts of these things > eventually I drop a glass > glass shatters > I cut myself > I experience what is perceived as pain > I create a new belief/thought/desire


TRUTH - is the part you desire and imagine, when we are creating we are approaching life from the inside out rather than the outside in.

I agree this has not much to do with a basic understanding of law of attraction - but I find that our perceptions, beliefs, and such play a role in LOA.
