RE: Truism relative to Masters/Teachers

Dear Friend:

I tried to understand what you wrote, but I believe I may express some
of the ideas a little different from you. Please consider:


Concerning WISDOM and TRUTH..

As Ideals they exist of themselves. They are the LAWS inherent since
all time in Nature (the Universe). Some call them "God's Laws." 

How they are described varies with thinkers, seers and writers. The
words will also vary with races, languages and cycles of time.

Vanity (as I understand it to be) is a disguised desire for authority
and showing off ones actual or pretended abilities. But all true wisdom
or truths are self existent, they have to be "common-sense.". They are
the laws of Nature and prevalent uniformly in nature. No one owns them
and no one has a single master-key to them and to understanding them.
They are the general property of the World / Universe. All thinking men
and women have equal access to them. 

Obedience to wisdom is first an understanding of it, and then a willing
adoption of its evident, common-sense processes. These are always
cooperative; and uniformly and impersonally, life-supporting. In fact
every being and everything and being is already subject to the Laws of
Nature. There are no exceptions. We all use them even if we cannot
explain them.

Brotherhood and peace as I understand them, are normal states of
co-existence and cooperation -- each being is in its place and helps
others as needed.

Disorder, strife, confusion and sorrow are the result of selfishness and
ceasing to obey Nature's laws. In some cases this is the result of
ignorance, and in others it is deliberate WRONG-DOING. The motives being
different, the resultant Karma will differ.

Our Universe, our World, and finally our own bodies are good examples of
"Unity in diversity." Also of the ability of many different types and
kinds of atoms, molecules, cells, and more complex structures --
extending to a vague comprehension of the exactitude needed to guide a
living COSMOS -- Some primal; force, power, urge in every one, .. etc.
.. to live together in full cooperation.  

But who guides? What is the final purpose of living and of our
endeavors? Why are we all here? And when a life ends, and the body is
dissipated - is there no future? Is reincarnation a reasonable
alternative to fruitless living? How do we explain individual
consciousness, and increments of intelligence? 

These are, of course, the way in which I would express my ideas on these
subjects.

Best wishes,

Dallas

My dear friends,

Wisdom and Truth are dispensed by servants;
not self proclaimed Masters or Teachers. To be
vain is not of Wisdom. Wisdom "is" the Master
and the Teacher.

Obedience to the subtle Wisdom is greater
than sacrifice. By her guidance all is simpler
not complex. Wisdom loves brotherhood and peace!

Her door is open to all who seek. Be aware
of her spiritual presence! Be ready to serve in
a spirit of brotherly love.


Alden
