Theos-Talk Archives (April 2005 Message tt01862)

Dear John,
This sentence needs to be read in context. It was suggested by Thalprin that the statement W.Q.Judge made on Page 49 of Oceans of Theosophy was false. It was in relation to the Dweller on the Threshold. "The God within begins with Manas or Mind, and it is the struggle between this God and the brute with Theosophy speaks of and warns about.

The statement "Why study something you (thalprin) say is a false statement.

The above subject (struggle between God and the brute) cannot be studied but experienced, I am sure you understand that. As you know I am currently studying, in depth, the Dweller on the Threshold, so that I do have an understanding of the theosophical principles involved.

Regards
Cass

When you study something that is false, you can still learn from it.

For example, I know that Adolf H. had false beliefs, but I would not let 
that stop me from trying to understand him. One way to understand him is 
to read his words. (Though I haven't read any of his words yet, except 
those that appear in OTHER places.)

One way to understand your enemies is to read and/or study his words. 
Doing so might help you understand your own beliefs better.

Studying does not mean you agree.

Besides, if we were to make it a rule to never study something that is 
false, we'd have to stop studying American History textbooks, because 
they are loaded with falsehoods and omissions, though not as bad as in 
some countries. Just look at the current controversy about Japanese 
history texts. Some Chinese are boycotting because the new Japanese 
texts don't even mention some of the Japanese atrocities like their 
occupation of China.
