Wayne,
Theosophy is the "wisdom possessed by the gods." The 'God'
of the theologians is no more than a belief, it has no reality. Truth is that
which is. It has nothing to do with what we belief.
Maitreya is not a
person, just like Christ is not a person either. It is GOODNESS incarnated and
also TRUTH. Why can't we treat this subject with the respect that it deserves
is beyond my understanding.
I agree that Truth is that
which is. Belief is based upon what we do (or attempt to do and fail
at). Most people I have met say it is possible to believe one thing and
do another. We always do what we believe. I really don't know
anything about Maitreya yet, I don't mean any disrespect.
