Does Truth Burn?

Friends,
 
Since ancient times, truth has not been, say, lukewarm (to use a 
biblical term). 
 
Truth has always been identified not only with the Sun (and the 
Logos) but also with Fire.
 
Fire enlightens, at the higher levels, and it burns, at lower levels.
 
This is also the alchemical process of getting poor quality  metals 
into gold, a metaphor for self-transformation and self-purification.
 
Yet many people would prefer lukewarm stuff -- for the sake of 
personal comfort. 
 
It it perfectly OK --  as long as they do not decide to play with 
Fire --that is, with occult things.
 
Regards,   Carlos.
