Theos-Talk Archives (January 2012 Message tt00009)

I guess I took it as 'a path implies that others can take the same path, but he seems to be saying, as you say, the way to enlightenment (truth) is not via a path but rather a direction. ÂWho knows.

>There is no Religion Highter than the Truth. (The motto of the Theosophical Society - adopted from the Maharajahs of Benares in India).
>It is scientifically speaking known that truth or truths are relative. Blavatsky and other theosophists also agreed on this.
>And in fact actual Truth as such is without form. The world is illusorical, yet the truth is always shown there.
>
>To call Truth a The Pathless Land is in fact nonsense. Truth is not a "land" and will never be one.
>So such a Truth must be without form else it cannot be "pathless". But when it is without form - it cannot be a "land" in any actual sense of the word. - The energy in the expression tend to omit that actual Truth cannot be a Pathless Land in any sense unless Duality is completely removed in core of the individuals consciousness. Yet we known that Krishnamurti who used the expression also meant that removal of a time-based consciousness, and thereby duality, was essential, to the required psychological change.

>The esoteric Prasangika Buddhists and some Adwaita Vedantists would parhaps have instead go and say: 
>There is no truth, there is no land, there is no path - there is only Absolute Negation.
>But an esoteric theosophist will perhaps say - what you call Absolute Negation we call the TRUTH. All other truths are steppingstones towards this Absolute Negation. And this Absolute Negation is negation of all limitations and all thought.

>But these are just my views...
>Maybe those who know the Kirhsnamurti teachings better, have something to offer.
