[MD] Thus spoke Lila

[118]

Hi Marsha,

What you present may work for individual reality (perhaps we can call
this biological reality).  But does the same thing hold for social or
intellectual reality?

It's your questions that make me who I am. If you think I'm an angel then that's what I am. If you think I'm a whore then that's what I am. I'm whatever you think. And if you change your mind about me then I change too. So whatever Richard tells you, it's true. There's no way he can lie about me."    -    Reality is whatever you think it is (your patterns), there's no way you can lie about it, and if you change your understanding of reality, then reality changes too.
