「真相」通常是主觀的，因為它只是敘述「一個人以他的觀點在敘述他所看見和相信」的東西，而視角是主觀的。在整部與神對話信息裡，神多次重複這句話：就每個人所處的世界模式而言，沒有人在做任何不得當的事。其目的就是要，擴展人們對真相(truth 真理)這個詞的理解與包容。
此篇所談的並非上述個人或某視角的「真相」。這是文字麻煩的地方。因為文字是心智的語言(Words are the language of the mind.)，而心智通常只會判辨「非此即彼」的東西，但真理和真相經常不是非此即彼的。此篇所談的，是指真正客觀、不證自明的「真相」。這是一篇可啟發我們看清和辨識「真相」的觀察建言，值得細心反芻和檢視：
聽神談【宗教、政治家和科學家「解說真相」的方式】
(此篇是神在向尼爾解說「高度文明社會」民眾的認知與社會運作面向之一部分： )
真正的法則（law 法律）是人人無拘無束地同意被它統禦的法則，因為眾人本就自然地被它統禦。因此，與其說是一種他們的同意，不如說是一種「那本是如此」的共同認知(a mutual recognition of what is So)。
這樣的法律是一種不必強制執行的法律。因為它們本就已經被執行了——以那「無法否認的後果」之簡單妙法執行了(by the simple expedient of undeniable consequence)。
你看出(明白)了嗎，真相——就像自然法則——是可觀察得到的(Truth–like natural law–is observable.)。
凡不是自然法則的，就不是觀察得到的(not observable)，因而對你們來說，才必須被解釋。「為什麼是為你們好」的事，必須有人來告訴你們(說服你們)。必須有人來向你們展示。這(解釋不是自然法則的——不是觀察得到的——東西對你們有好處)並不是一件容易做到的事，因為如果一件事情是對你們有好處的，它會是不證自明的。(Because if a thing is for your own good, it is self-evident.)
只有那並非不證自明的事情，才需要被解釋(才需要去說服別人)。
要說服人民相信一些並非不證自明的事情，需要一種很不尋常、很有決心的人才能做到。為了這目的，於是你們發明了政治家(politicians)。
也發明了神職人員(clergy傳教士)。
科學家不說太多。他們通常不是能言善道。他們無需如此。如果他們做實驗，而成功了，他們就把他們做出的拿給你們看。結果會自己說話。所以，科學家往往都是靜靜的，不是贅言善辨型的人。他們不需要那樣。因為他們的工作是不證自明(self-evident)的。而如果他們做的某種實驗失敗了，他們也沒話好說。
政治家不一樣。即使他們失敗了，他們也有話要說。事實上，有時候他們越是失敗，說得越多。(The more they fail, the more they talk.)
宗教也是如此。他們越是失敗，說得越多。
然而，我告訴你們：
真相和神都在同一個地方被發現：在靜默中。(Truth and God are found in the same place: in the silence.)
當你找到了神，當你找到了真相（真理），你不需要解說或說服。它是不證自明(self-evident)的。
如果你在談論一大堆關於神的事，那可能是因為你仍在尋找。但沒關係。那是沒問題的。只要清楚你在哪裡(是否在靜默裡)。
摘自《與神對話 II》第19章
True law is that law by which the people freely agree to be governed because they are governed by it, naturally. Their agreement is therefore not so much an agreement as it is a mutual recognition of what is So.
Those laws don’t have to be enforced. They already are enforced, by the simple expedient of undeniable consequence.
You see, truth—like natural law—is observable.
Now, any law that is not natural law is not observable, and so has to be explained to you. You have to be told why it’s for your own good. It has to be shown to you. This is not an easy task because if a thing is for your own good, it is self- evident.
Only that which is not self-evident has to be explained to you.
It takes a very unusual and determined person to convince people of something which is not self-evident. For this purpose you have invented politicians.
And clergy.
Scientists don’t say much. They’re usually not very talkative. They don’t have to be. If they conduct an experiment, and it succeeds, they simply show you what they’ve done. The results speak for themselves. So scientists are usually quiet types, not given to verbosity. It is not necessary. The reason for their work is self-evident. Furthermore, if they try something and fail, they have nothing to say.
Not so with politicians. Even if they’ve failed, they talk. In fact, sometimes the more they fail, the more they talk. The same is true of religions. The more they fail, the more they talk.
Yet I tell you this.
Truth and God are found in the same place: in the silence.
When you have found God, and when you have found truth, it is not necessary to talk about it. It is self-evident.
If you are talking a lot about God, it is probably because you are still searching. That’s okay. That’s all right. Just know where you are.
