Me, Myself & I- 13

Astronomy makes for a wonderful example of those studies for which we must struggle with the available information and infer poorly.

Occultly speaking there are many such areas and it is essential that the student appreciate this and not be too disconcerted if at any given time he is so limited. It is preferable to realise a blindfold subject than profess an inner knowledge on an impossibility. Granted we deal with the extremes of incredulous issues, but even they, if when approached, are found to be incomprehensibly put forth, must be dismissed out of hand, rather than pretended to be more than they are. There is little point warehousing falsehoods.

Just as the sky is not empty and the constellations have nothing to do with ‘grains of sand’ that mindlessly dance around in magnetic rapport, just as darkness is not just darkness, and space is not what it appears to be either, there are some studies we may enter into which actually detract from the reality that we have first been curious about.

This may apply to anything, and Astronomy has been put forth just as an example. Just as equally it could be many forms of anthropology, prehistoric science, and allopathic medicine or in the esoteric: black magic, mediumship development, and workshops allied with monetary gain.

The individual who becomes entangled in a learning which is incomplete and disarming to the truth about itself in its particulars put forth, will be frustrated in all else besides. This frustration is of course coming from the one source whereupon the being of the man inherently knows the shortfalls of his endeavour, but has a genuine love to know more coinciding with the subject.

If the desire to learn more is thwarted because of the poor material at hand dissuading the interest, then the outcome is non-productive at least, and debilitating at worst. We pray therefore for a reliable teacher in all things worth knowing, and a considerable understanding to be won at length, with our persistence for the truth.

On behalf of all men may we come to further perceptions and full knowing, and a greater love therein, that the signatures to life be inherited from those who do make the way for the students to follow and thereby grow in their strength, in Christ.
