     There  is clear evidence that there are children  who
are born with high levels of intuitive abilities to excel
in the creation of and appreciation of:

     Music,
     Mathematics,
     Visual Arts,
     Poetry,
     Friendships,
     Stories,
     Sciences,
     Humane-Relationships.

     Such   native   abilities   are   distributed   along
spectrums-of-levels and kinds-of-combinations.

     Consider   here  is  that   there   are   significant
differences  among people as regards many abilities;   and
that  it is inappropriate to assume and believe  that  all
people  are alike as regards formulations,   presentations
and appreciations of truths.

     Not  all  truths can be presented and appreciated  in
purely  verbal forms.   Many truths are best presented  in
musical,  mathematical, visual, poetic, friendship, story,
scientific, reflexive and personal-relational forms.

     Truths which can best be presented and appreciated in
musical forms ---  cannot be  faithfully  translated  into
equivalent mathematical or visual forms --- which can then
be translated back  into  their  original  musical form by
anybody who knows only the mathematical or only the visual
form.    Similar  statements may be offered  about  truths
which  can  best  represented  and  appreciated  in   some
appropriate form; and attempts are made to translated them
into an equivalent expressions  in a different other form.
There is  little hope that anyone who is familiar with the
new form, but not with the original form --- can translate
the truth back into the  original  form  with any level of
faithfulness   to  the  truth  as  originally  formed  and
expressed.

     Different   people   have  different   abilities   to
appreciate  truths  which are expressed in various  forms.
Truths  are not independent of the form in which they  are
formulated  and  expressed.    Truths  are   significantly
dependent upon the form in which they are expressed.   The
forms  in  which  truths are  expressed  evolve  with  the
evolution  of  the truths which are expressed  within  the
evolving  form.    There  is an  inter-dependence  between
forms-of-expression    and   the    truths-formulated-and-
expressed-via-any-evolving-form.

     There is also an inter-dependence among the forms-of-
expression, the truths-expressed,  and the creative-people
who are participants in the formulations of the Forms-and-
Expressions.

     Many  people  lack  the  ability  to  understand  and
appreciate  truths which are formulated and  expressed  in
forms  which are utterly "foreign"  to them.    People who
speak  only  English  ---  cannot understand Verbal-Truths
which  have  been  Formulated-and-Expressed-Verbally   in:
French,  Spanish, Latin,  German, Greek, Russian, Chinese,
Indian,    Arabic,     African,   and  Indian   languages.
Reasonable  approximations  of  the  original  truths   as
formulated in one language ---  can be expressed in Other-
Verbal-Languages;   but some shades of meaning are lost or
distorted in making a Verbal-Translation.  It is virtually
impossible   to   translate  any  Verbal-Truth   into   an
equivalent  form  which  is  pure:  music,   art,   dance,
friendship,  intimacy,  love,  etc.  ---  with a  faithful
reverse  translation then possible back into the  original
verbal form.

     The  truths which are expressed in various forms  and
modalities  are not independent of the creative people who
participate   in  the  formulations  of   the   Forms-and-
Expressions.

     How  might  humans prove that in the absence  of  all
humans ---   there  would exist truths that would be true?
True to whom?  Prove  that to whom?   Who would offer  the
proof?  Who  would judge the adequacy of the  proof?   Who
would  judge  the significance of the proof?    Who  would
appreciate the proof?

     How  can there be knowledge without knowers who  know
each other within the contexts of their relationships with
each other?  How can there be truth in the absence of open
and honest dialogue among true-people; among True-Lovers?

                      "Search for Honesty and Integrity"
                    (On Being Yourself Whole and Healthy)
