To genuine seekers and the spiritually aware, there is no
irrationality. All who seek the Truth can find it! Even you.

Higher learning

In 'At the feet of the Master', we are forewarned: "There are in the
world many untrue thoughts, many foolish superstitions and no one who
is enslaved by them can make progress.

Sounds like religions

Therefore, you must not hold a
thought just because many other people hold it, not because it has
been believed for centuries nor because it is written in some book
which men think sacred; you must think of the matter for yourself, and
judge for yourself whether it is reasonable. He who walks the Path
must learn to think for himself, for superstition is one of the
greatest evils in the world, one of the fetters from which you must
utterly free yourself."

Again, it sounds like religions are being talked about.

BTW: That sounds like the words of Buddha .. is that to whom you are
referring?

No one being perfect, it follows that no single source or school can
ever completely cover every aspect of the divine teachings.

Actually .. no .. it doesn't follow

No source
of information in our world is ever completely true and accurate,
either.

An interesting assertion .. when I key in 1 + 1 = into my calculator, it
says 2 .. that is completely true and accurate.

There are many falsehoods and half-truths mixed in along with
the true. Nevertheless, some sources are more reliable than others. It
is for each of us to discern for ourselves.

Indeed it is

In the search for Truth, we are to analyze, test and question
everything. The basic rule is to accept only those propositions that
we find to be reasonable and test true in light of our own personal
experiences and to reject all that do not.

Excatly .. a sentiment echoed by the founder of Agnosticism .. Huxley

INNER QUEST is just one link in the chain that is the New Age
Movement. We continue the work of the Masters and the Spirits of
Truth, while attempting to unite as one all that have come before.
There is only One God and one Truth, after all.

How did you manage to make that amzing leap into irrationality?

It is merely a matter
of being able to access the entire Big Picture.

Yes .. I am looking at getting a wide screen LCD TV as well

Einstein believed that the Jesus narrative is true. But we
should believe you and not him, you think?

Einstein: Excerpts from The Saturday Evening Post, in 1929":

Interviewer: "To what extent are you influenced by Christianity?"

Einstein: "As a child I received instruction both in the Bible and in
the Talmud. I am a Jew, but I am enthralled by the luminous figure of
the Nazarene."

Interviewer: "Have you read Emil Ludwig's book on Jesus?"

Einstein: "Emil Ludwig's Jesus is shallow. Jesus is too colossal for
the pen of phrasemongers, however artful. No man can dispose of
Christianity with a bon mot."

Interviewer: "You accept the historical Jesus?"

Einstein: "Unquestionably! No one can read the Gospels without feeling
the actual presence of Jesus. His personality pulsates in every word.
No myth is filled with such life."

In view of this interview, it is understandable that Einstein is
reported to have said that Christ Jesus was the greatest of all Jews.

Everyone at some point in his life is invited to pursue higher
studies and development. Now, it's your turn to decide your
future fate and life's course -- whether to stagnate where you
stand or continue on the road to progress.

Think of me as just a messenger. After I deliver the messages to you,
my work is done. Then, it's entirely up to you what you do with them.
You can enhance your prospects when you enter into the Real Life to
come or you may not. It matters not to me.

You should be forewarned that if there is a "master"
involved he's most likely a master at BS. You won't be
getting any "higher learning" but his wallet will be getting
thicker.

Inner Quest http://innerquest.org.ph/ is a free education
Website. With the exception of the Rosicrucians, all the other
links are free reference sites, as well.

So you think that your science already knows everything. Einstein
doesn't agree.

I think you are trying to learn something, although you're a bit
confused on what it is you should learn. V.S. Naipaul (Nobel Laureat)
in his book "Among the Believers" relates a anecdote about an
engineering student who uses the Month of Ramadan not to study for his
exams (which is what all his classmates do) but to occupy his time in
a series of prayers and rituals, as a result of which he will almost
certainly fail in school. His parents, their neighbors and his friends
all admire his piety, and he basks in their admiration. As Naipaul
points out, however, mumbo-jumbo is infinitely easier to do than the
hard work of studying physics and mechanics. The student has abdicated
his studies in favor of prayer and ritual, yet is praised for it.
Naipaul sees this as the coward's course, the lazy man's pursuit and
one of the reasons why countries infested with intrusive religious
beliefs don't advance.

Here's what I think you should do. Leave the feet of the master. You
don't learn from anyone's feet, but from their heads. Go back to
school and study science and math. It's hard, but start with the
simplest courses and work your way up. Put real time and enegry into
learning. No one ever got anything accomplished by sitting and
meditating or pondering the mysteries of the universe or by listening
to some quarter-assed fool babble about "New Age" nonsense.

As it is, you're currently an ignorant, gullible person. Get humble.
Realize you know nothing (not in the Guru's sense of knowing nothing,
but in the sense that you've never learned a scientific discipline),
and get to work. Let us know in 10 years how you've done.

So you think that your science already knows everything. Einstein
doesn't agree. Einstein must be a fool, too. Right?
