We create our lives from the difference of these 2 potentials, our own truth, and "the truth"

If you insist on your truth over "the truth", welcome to hell.

It is when we all start looking for "the truth" over our own truth that heaven is manifested.

Heaven is what faith in "the…

“For a scientist, an intuition is often the beginning of a long exploration; for a Theosopher, often the end of an even longer one.”—General Theosophy

"There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth; not going all the way, and not starting."...Gautama Buddha
