Theos-Talk Archives (September 2006 Message tt00478)

Daniel,

One of the most useful things I have learned in my study of Theosophy 
is that totally contradictory statements can both be true. It's all a 
matter of point of view, and in a multi-dimensional universe, that 
can be a pretty comlex subject in itself! The image of truth being 
like the moon, and our different opinions being like the reflections 
of the moon on the water of a lake, broken up into myriad sparkles, 
(paraphrase HPB) illustrates it very well. There is only one Truth, 
only one moon, but as many fragmentary reflections of it as there are 
minds to think, or wavelets to ripple.
