Theos-Talk Archives (June 2010 Message tt00027)

I am glad to see the message. Many theosophists, especially in the west
rarely discuss this issue of confidence or trust. We tend to focus on
esoteric facts and issues and miss the fundamental key issue such as
confidence. Confidence is a very simple and fundamental concept and does not
need a scholar or a PhD to explain it  to the masses.

Even in worldly affairs, when we deal with others, especially in the area of
personal services, confidence plays a very critical part. Anyone who has
been in business would vouch for it.

When this is the case with ordinary worldly matters, does it surprise that
in spiritual matters, complete confidence is critical.
