People are kept from real Truth and Knowledge by labeling the information and the messenger as evil. Then weak people are afraid to explore it. | |

Then weak people are afraid to explore it. Fear is our worst and most potent enemy. All you have to do to keep weak minded and lost people from real Truth and Knowledge is to label the information(book, message, messenger) as evil and people will avoid it like the plague.

LOL Odal -- that is heritage: [link to en.wikipedia.org (secure)] One of my favorites. |

If you have made an impression on just one person, your time has not been wasted. I, for one, understand and actually practice what you have said above. Really good thread which should cause really informative discussion - but I do understand why you feel you are "wasting your time". |

These are sources of Truth for me.

I love all of these books! |

Then weak people are afraid to explore it. "Be careful? No, be courageous and be wise." Quoting: Anonymous Coward 67040400 Being wise means being careful/wary, IMO. But, yes, we must be courageous as well. That was a cardinal virtue, courage, for the bad ignorant "pagan" predecessors of Christian Europe. The American Indians constantly told their children to "be brave". Not just in battle, but in life. We only grow when we are brave enough to explore, both our physical world and the metaphysical one. |

So you believe in many Gods? So they all sat at a round table and decided to create the world? Who was in charge of what? What if one didnt agree with the other? Do they have fights every once in a while? Who wins? |

Then weak people are afraid to explore it. Weak minded people won't even consider the message themselves. They will simply believe what other deceivers tell them. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 59567691 They will parrot what others have spouted and never even consider what they are missing. Only the brave ever explore beyond the boundaries given to humanity. I'm not a Christian (or an adherent to any religion); I'm not defending anything at all. But here you say that people will simply believe what other "deceivers" tell them, and then later in the thread you continually press other people to read more books (that ostensibly you agree with). How is it that you're not: a) Telling others to believe you that they should read books like, say, Aleister Crowley's. b) Pushing others into a new category of belief, such as in the new books they read. Why is it that you think reading more books leads to "truth," when it's self-evident, all over the place, that reading books obviously LEADS to belief. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 70429192 Yes. It requires effort, courage and wisdom to find your Truth Path Home. You will never find the Truth by only listening to others. reading books that are labeled by someone else is also , in a way , sending you to somewhere... like , that is a truth... same thing as it is with bible or kuran... |

Then weak people are afraid to explore it. Ask anyone here, especially a Christian, what they think of Aleister Crowley. Ha,ha! Quoting: Anonymous Coward 59567691 They say that he was a Satanist, a baby eater, an evil "Beast". Then ask them if they read any of his books? No. Read a biography of the man? No. Met anyone that actually met the man? No. So, how do you know that he was what he has been described as? By what people on websites say about him!!! How crazy is that! Dude bad example. He actually was a satanist, baby eating defilement. I've read the books. That being said, the truth is not in books. They may show you a different path to follow, but they are still the author's path each and everyone of us finds the truth down our own path. |
