Theos-Talk Archives (March 2006 Message tt00536)

"There is therefore an element of truth and reality in everyone of the 
more serious approaches to the problem of our dual universe.  In an 
unsympathetic discussion and criticism of philosophical doctrine it is 
no doubt always possible to present them in such a way that they appear 
but as the futile fantasies of arid minds, but if we try to understand a 
doctrine from the mentality of the one who produced it we shall always 
see that for that mentality and from that standpoint the doctrine was 
relatively true."
                                          Van der Leeuw, J.J., CONQUEST 
OF ILLUSION, p 120.






I love you, Carlos.

I understand you and I will not fight with you about relative truths.  I 
will continue to participate here at theos-talk when and about whatever 
topics I choose.  You are Free to do the same.  I only ask that in 
future instances, you not mistake my silent regard for what you proffer 
as either consent or agreement.

There comes a time when one discerns  that  another's line of thought is 
too entrenched and the thought process itself too inflexible to  be  
affected  in  any meaningful way by continued discussions. Only a 
Significant Life-Altering Event is likely to create the momentum 
necessary for movement and growth to begin anew.  As it is now, debate, 
dialog, and discussion appear to encourage only deeper entrenchment and 
more rigid thinking.   A challenging comment has the same end result 
upon the thinking apparatus as a supportive comment. 
I have challenged you to think about how you think and more importantly 
WHY you think as you do.  You have responded in your own way and I can 
ask no more of you.    I  regret that I am unable to be of more 
assistance to you at the present time.   I will continue to study my 
self and my own thought processes, learning and growing  in hopes that I 
will be better prepared  to help you  when again we meet.   Until then,  
I wish only the best for you, my young friend,  and I thank you for your 
attempts to share the essence of who you are with the rest of us. 
Peace and love and my best hopes for your bright future,


bill
