Can the TRUTH be GRAPHED ?

Dear Terrie:


You'll have to devise your own graphs. Don't be in a rush. It may
prove to be interesting work. Find out..

However, I would say:

Quantitative information does not make it TRUE INFORMATION. Graphs
tend to show a tendency towards a pure result. They do not prove IT IS
PURE.

Science makes use of graphs because there are some result influencing
"impurities" (of material, condition or environment) which cannot be
controlled. It is a kind of "short-cut." and indicates a tendency,
rather than an actuality. The Laws Of Mass Action take into account
counter-laws which cause individual atoms or molecules to oppose the
general tendency towards a predetermined result. Why they react that
way is not clear yet. Result is: INDETERMINACY.

Theosophy says that individuality and self-determination even to the
atomic or sub-atomic levels is an indication of AN INTELLIGENCE that
has FREEDOM OF CHOICE even under the impact of universal laws.


TRUTH is TRUTH, and approximations are NOT TRUTH. There are no "grey"
areas.


That is one reason we all ought to call ourselves STUDENTS of
Theosophy. We are trying to learn the essentials and causes for what
we see all about us and about the events that come up and meet us as
we proceed in life.

The designation THEOSOPHIST ought to be reserved for the Masters of
Wisdom.

Best wishes,

Dal

Subject: HPB and after her -- Graphing the Truth ?

Dear Dallas,

Thank you for the links and the reading suggestions. Myself, I am
curious and interested in trying to better understand how thangs
progressed, took shape, blossomed and plowed after HPB passed along.
In deed there does very much seem (as was expected) that many-varied
seeds sprouted from that planting and/or her efforts at gardening and
maintaining growth or fertile grounds.

It'd be interesting to see it illustrated on a graph. Are there any
graphs?

Have a BEAUTIFUL day,
Terrie
