Guest guest Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 Everything that the self " knows " exists only in relationship to its own accumulated belief structure. In truth it is nothing other than that very structure. Anything that doesn't jibe with what it already " knows " is not and cannot be accepted into the ever evolving world view. The self's attempts to lift itself by its own boot straps are doomed. It can rearrange the furniture in its cell but it can never escape the belief structure that is its totality. Everything that it " knows " is relative only to itself which is merely a collage of everything it " knows " . When that is seen......something most peculiar happens. toombaru Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
