Theos-Talk Archives (November 2002 Message tt00398)

Dear Friend:

"Dead letter" is always opinionated.

Yet we can express our understanding of a fact or truth in no other
way. Our exchange of views if tolerated and used with each other
ought to lead us to a deeper understanding of truth. And conversely,
if we are attentive, lead us to grasp what aspect of our own capacity
to understand is limited as compared to that of others.

In other words we can all profit from each other, and yet, we will
always make our own independent decisions thereafter. We have to
extend ourselves to include (not to exclude) others' views. That is
brotherhood in action.

Best wishes,

Dallas

Hi Dallas and all of you,

I will have to suggest, that the issue of avoiding "dead-letter"
reading and
living would be given more importance,
when one just throws - numbers on cycles out to the more or less
public
eyes.

Allright or ?

from
M. Sufilight with a hovering attitude...>:-)
