The side of the truth you're currently allowed to see.

means One particular face or feature of something, especially the way it looks or presents itself from where you happen to be standing.

from From Latin aspectus, 'a looking at, a view,' from the verb aspicere, 'to look at' — built from ad- ('toward') plus specere ('to look, to see'), the same root that gives us 'spectacle' and 'inspect.' So an aspect was, literally, whatever met your gaze when you looked toward a thing — and since you can only look from one angle at a time, the word settled into meaning just one face of a many-sided truth.
