The reason why some people (and organizations) don't consider K. as a
messanger of truth, I covered that in previous posts: it's simply prejudice
or conditionings. I never said that the idea of "pathless path" was
original to K. As a matter of fact, there is nothing original when we deal
with truth. Everything has been said before. The problem is that we don't
want to listen. We rather listen to eachother's opinions and form our own
beliefs, and since we are told that we have freedom of belief, we are
content. For some, truth is what they believe in, not what really is.
