Yes. People might even consider us to be heretics and other artificial issues. :-)

  We don't use the words very often because all too often those who do end up 
  as part of a con game.

  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.
