Theos-Talk Archives (February 2002 Message tt00113)

HI Jerry and all of you,

Thanks for the below.
Yes "belief" is important.

But, I think "connfidence" also is important. Without confidence - no satisfaction - with no satisfaction then neither no understanding or compassion - and then no enlightenment.

One ought be confident, that LIFE as such has a real purpose - a meaning.
And that that meaning is wise, -- that must be a fact. Ignorance is stupid.Knowledge is good. Let us seek knowledge - and wisdom, (and well accordingto some - if possible). Life is an experience - we constantly accumulate knowledge - in our lifes.  

With a life as such having a purpose, then - God - ParaBrahman (Neti, Neti)seems obviously a possible 'existing' candidate of importance.
God - ParaBrahman (Neti, Neti) is - defined - to be knowing all and everything.
A true extreme unexplicable Master of knowledge. 

Blaise Pascal the scientist - said once somthing like: "I don't know if Godis. But if God really is, then it is best to be on God's side. So I betterfollow good manners - and take care."


The TRUTH is always shown everywhere in this universe.
Without TRUTH - there would not be a universe. Without TRUTH there would beno knowledge - and no history. (Do you readers understand that ?)
As Carlyle says: "No lie can live forever".

What is TRUTH ? 
ParaBrahman - God is TRUTH !!! (as a definition).
The word "definition" one can look up in a dictionary if necessary.

So what is Truth ? and historical truth ?
Truth is knowledge. That is LIFE. That is ParaBrahman etc..

This is the truth and nothing but the truth - so help me....

Ignorance is sometimes to say something like : I don't get the above - I like to disagree on the above - I like to boost my self by answering on this in an email.

It is all a process, where we go from ignorance to knowledge to truth to being enlightened totally - to be a true and real AVATAR - a real CHRIST, KIDHR etc.

Either you agree or you disagree or..?. But we will certainly learn !

from
Sufilight with a little five letter word... and QLB.

However, everyone really does need to note HPB's use of "belief" and "believe" in the above quote because, as I have been saying, faith is necessary in order to believe in any kindof an "uninterrupted teachings" - there is simply no proof for or against.
