Theos-Talk Archives (January 2004 Message tt00007)

I would have to remark that Truth by it's very nature is ESOTERIC. It can only 
be approached but never known. Much like a scientist slowly aprroaches a 
greater understanding of nature, making more accurate measurements, and 
replacing old theories with new. It's an UNLIMITED MYSTERY and with each 
gain in knowledge one realizes how much more there is to know.
