One need not delve too deeply into modern studies of ancient theological/theosophical examinations of the basics of belief before arriving at the conclusion that basics of belief are at the heart of what was written; and only as the heart and mind of the student is so disposed in such study is there a reconciliation between what the ancients attempted to convey and the receptivity of the recipient to ascertain what is being conveyed is understanding found in basic communication; otherwise there is confusion, even contempt for what cannot be determined if truth is at stake. Thus again, DNM, and once again, the cloud lifts and the rock we might crash into is revealed and we can discern why there will always be misunderstanding when identification of truth is so easily misunderstood. Thanks again.
