Hi MKR,
Yes that is the only way it can really be, concepts and beliefs at 
the end of the day can only be realised by experience and the 
development of wisdom.
Each individual does this in their own unique way.

The trap I think is that we can put the ideas before the mindset or 
spirit of discovery which needs to be always fresh and adaptable and 
will be different for different people.

The theosophical approach is not to preach and demand compliance to a 
set of beliefs or a body of writings as St. Paul said "we should 
serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter."

Regards

Perry
