The ultimate conclusion is somewhat similar to the above quote. Such is unknown until it is accurately and thoroughly vetted. A forbidden writing may or may not contain a certain spark of truth. Reply E Archer, NYC 12/6/16 Some discoveries -- particularly those that empower the individual -- are kept 'secret' in order to profit from them. Servitude is a racket, handed down throughout human history. The mastery of servitude is to convince the slaves they are serving God's purpose, to even love and defend their servitude. Thus the primary work in the search for Truth is routing out lies and ripping down veils. Empowerment of the individual threatens the powers-that-(should-not)-be. Secrets about electrical energy production, natural cures for cancer, solar cycles, and even the power of the mind -- the goal is to cause a knee-jerk reaction in the populace to disparage any challenge to the 'order' imposed on body, mind and soul. However, I do believe that silently people with a desire to know seek out and discover. Perhaps we are witnessing the next Renaissance, in which millions will posses the knowledge and understanding that liberates and empowers us. The lesson continues... ;-) Reply Fredrick William Sillik, Anytown 5/27/22 The truth and I have an agreement. I am always on its side, and it is always my side.
