That's what I meant when I said:
>>I might add that understanding what I have has made a difference in my
>>life. I am a totally different person since my "awakening" than before
>>specifically because I understand myself better.
In other words, because I understand what I have, I can take steps to do
better. At 53, I'm not worried about improving in the "How to ask a girl
for a date" department. I'm comfortable with the memory that all my
major past relationships got started because the other person initiated
the deeper friendship. I have friends, but I just don't worry about
getting deeper. Maybe I don't need it (though I'm sure some people will
say that I'm not complete until I find my soul-mate).
>I also think it not alwyas is so important who is right or wrong.
>There are many paths. But not all paths are to be recommended.
Here I partly disagree. You imply that some paths should not be
recommended at all. My point is that even the path that you will not
recommend might still reveal truth to someone else.
I'm reminded of a quote from a book that I'm currently rereading for the
umteenth time:
*Subspace Explorers* by E. E. "Doc" Smith
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/asin/0425062457/ref=nosim/recommendations
From Chapter XII, "Higher Education" which describes the intellectual
search by the character Doctor Adams, the "big brain" with eight earned
doctorates, and his wife (who will later in the book establish a
university for psionic studies):
"First, they went through their own library's stores of philosophy, of
metaphysics, of paraphysics, of occultism, of spiritualism, of
voodooism, of scores of kinds of cultism and even more kinds of
crackpotism, from Forteanism up--or down. They studied thousands of
words to glean single phrases of truth. Or, more frequently, bits of
something that could be developed into truth or into something having to
do with truth."
I agree with this fictional character ... if he can study thousands of
words in order to find just one fragment of truth, and if he can find it
in crackpot sources, then what is to say that someone on this list might
find bits of truth in a source that you believe is not to be recommended?
And likewise, someone else who reads a book that you highly recommend
might not find as much truth as you find there.
So, my point still remains, you may consider CWL to be absolutely wrong
in every respect, but I respectfully disagree. Some people may actually
be able to find truths there, even if you are not capable of finding
them. I much prefer to be able to search where I wish without someone
else telling me that I'm on the wrong path. I've found more truths in
Babylon Five than I have in Theosophical books that I have attempted to
read. (With my Attention Deficit Disorder, theosophical books can be
VERY hard to read, so I look for truths where I find them, rather than
concentrating only on sources that people recommend.)
As far as studying "thousands of words in order to find just one
fragment of truth," that appears to be true with my current reading. I'm
60% of the way through rereading the book, and only have five bookmarks
flagged so that I can go back to them and compose a piece for my "Germs
of Truth" blog. The information about Adams certainly gives me a good
intro for that blog, as he is talking about finding small germs of truth
inside thousands of words.
