They say ignorance is bliss, but I'm not so sure. You seem to feel 
that you are somewhat in advance of the rest of us. Perhaps this is 
so, although I have been taught that such an enlightened being would 
not call attention to the fact. Karma is a deep subject, and we all 
have lessons to learn from each other. The Master calls himself 
"Servant and Master," which says volumes. "...prefer ignorance" is a 
rather harsh judgement, but it is always possible that one person 
could point to ignorance in another, since each has different 
abilities and potentialities, at least in the finite sense. The study 
of occultism seems to me to be an open ended one, and truly I could 
say that the more I know, the more I realize I don't know. But that 
doesn't mean that continued study and application is not in order. On 
the contrary, discovering Truth, in its minutia as well as in the 
larger sense, seems to me to be a good reason for living. 
Participating in these discussion lists requires a certain amount of 
trust in each other, since we are exploring new territory, by 
definition, in studying occultism, and each one of us, if sincere, 
may step wrong at any time. But we continue, hoping that our efforts 
will add to the common benefit, and, as long as our motive is toward 
the greater good, we can't go too far wrong.

Best wishes,
Adelasie
