Interesting! I have always believed that Faith is to trust myself and Knowledge is to know my true self. Just my thoughts.

Dedication to a particular study must not falter. If one is to be true to the love of that study they must have courage when failure besets them and efforts appear dashed in the very trying. So many are too easily dissuaded from entering into any cr…

That's very important work you're doing there Jackie. I once read that the only place Eileen Caddy could get some peace and quiet for meditation, was on the toilet. As I said to Jack, the only constant is change; in life there are busy times, and ev…

Faith is all important to any task attempted. Some would have it that faith is of its own an indication as to the individual holding no real knowledge, and therefore the faith itself has no real basis in reality. But it is quite otherwise, for in or…

I haven't essayed here on that, Jack, but obviously it is true- depending on the piece of course. For your perusal.

Brother Bruce, hello, I'm trying to remember. Did you write elsewhere in regard to music a good turn to take, by listening to particular styles or types of music? For example, if I listened to Rock music, yet classical music, is proven to be influen…

Dedication to Study

Dedication to a particular study must not falter. If one is to be true to the love of that study they must have courage when failure besets them and efforts appear dashed in the very trying. So many are too easily dissuaded from entering into any crusade, any adventure; unsure of themselves, uncertain of outcome, long-term vision is deflected by the mirror of doubt. To overcome such hindrances to any quest, such as doubt, fear or the very dragons of our lower nature, we must have a faith, a fait… Continue

Faith & Knowledge

Faith is all important to any task attempted. Some would have it that faith is of its own an indication as to the individual holding no real knowledge, and therefore the faith itself has no real basis in reality.

Faith is when the soul of man is telling him of what it knows, that the man may discover it for himself, that the truth might unfold before him, a… Continue

Favorable Conditions

If one is serious about maintaining a spiritual consciousness which is relatively unhindered, they must acknowledge that in order to commute with the higher worlds and participate with higher thought, it is obviously preferable to give oneself the most favorable conditions where this can be effected- to withdraw, to rest, to know silence and experience beauty, setting the way free to contemplation.
