I love it.
We think we know, but we don't.
All is nothing but all.

If the highest truth is
"we think we know but we don't" then i guess we'll just have to defer to the creative / destructive powers of others. Should we leave the conceptual formations of truth to others and keep silent?
A lot has been given by those who do know, yet have not kept silent. These have averred that the carnal mind knows nothing. Nothing spiritual that is. Yet it's construct has been described for those who wish to prove it's " nothingness" themselves. They also teach that the intelligent higher- Mind within knows all. And the spiritual circuitry over which IT flows (the chakras and finer bodies) has likewise been described for those who wish to prove it by self discovery. I realise they have not given all this so that we can codify a set of dogmatic beliefs about it but so that we can prove it for ourselves by inner realisation. While very little of that spiritual knowledge (of Self) can be described in words, words still have their place and can be best appreciated when the spirit opens their meaning.
It has been said that an adept's words cannot be fully understood by the student unless the student is given to understand by the interior spirit or by the adept. It is a fact that the master can transfer spiritual perception to a disciple who has otherwise lost the conscious awareness of his/her own spirit. It is a kind of spiritual resuscitation of the 'dead'. Although this happens it would be considered the height of ignorance, blasphemy even, by some who 'believe' that words and masters are useless to the inner realisation of truth.
