To believe in assertions

Posted by Jacques on February 27, 2009 at 6:59pm
THE LORD BUDDHA HAS SAIDthat we must not believe in a thing said merely because it is said ; nor traditions because they have been handed down from antiquity ; nor rumors, as such ; nor writings by sages, because sages wrote them : nor fancies that we may suspect to have been inspired in us by a Deva (that is, in presumed spiritual inspiration) ; nor from inferences drawn from some haphazard assumption we may have made ;nor because of what seems an analogical necessity ; nor on the mere authority of our teachers or masters. But we are to believe when the writing, doctrine, or saying is corroborated by our own reason and consciousness. "For this," says he in concluding, " I taught you not to believe merely because you have heard,but when you believed of your consciousness, then to act accordingly and abundantly."(Secret Doctrine, Vol.III,page 401.)

"There are people who like to discuss these topics -and people who don't know the breadth and depth of this evil deserve to know-if they want to."

"Yep of course 😊🎶Posted a few good ones the other day to. You should find them on that music page easily. It will say they were posted on June 25th or maybe a little before then."

"Nice tunes, Justin. ;) Channeling this intensity straight into my training. Lower-body session, clear mind, favourite tunes, feminine form on point. Frequency is everything. 🖤✨"
