Theos-Talk Archives (August 2001 Message tt00087)

I am currently studying The Voice of Silence and I am puzzled. Please give 
my your thoughts on verses 14-16. 
My confusion lies in this, I live in a world of created illusion, yet 
should I not be joyful that I have this physical life to learn about the 
portion of truth that my mind can understand. 
Also, to truely form a Brotherhood, must we not lend an ear to her 
turmoil? How can we understand the nature of others, if we do not hear her 
joys and sorrows? We should not get pulled in. Shouldn't an aspirant learn 
of whom one day he hopes to help? 
Finally, When spreading oneself in space so that the bodies become the 
moving molecules of space, for now, in my comprehension, is this not just a 
step on Who I am? It is not Truth, yet for now, it is a step in my education 
and all that I know? Of course one would seek to go beyond this point, yet, 
for now "This is I."
Please help clarify my thinking, as I have meditated and slept and am 
trying with great difficulty to put it in perspective.
Thank you to you for your time and help.
