“There is a Road, steep and thorny, beset with perils of every kind, but yet a Road. And it leads to the very heart of the universe.” So wrote H. P.Blavatsky about the metaphorical road that leads to enlightenment. But how can any road lead “to the very heart of the universe”?
There is so much Knowledge and wisdom, that one can certainly get overwhelmed and distracted from the shear volume of it all. I love the works of many, But, I would have to say that the works of HP Blavatsky has definitely increased my knowledge, and confusion, on many different aspects of existence. While I say confusion, I mean it in a way that inspires me to continue on with all the rabbit holes that one comes upon in the quest and love of wisdom. Yes, confusion, as to what is being talked about. I have found that with most occult and esoteric literature, one can not just sit down, read and become more enlightened and more wise. The material must need time to soak in, merge with one’s own ancient wisdom, memories and consciousness. Many times, (the confusion that I talk about), The pages that are read, While make sense in some far deep corner of conscious thought, confuse and literally make no sense at all. Until at a later time, a different reading, or another passage is read, and the confusion now make a little more sense.
I have found this to be my normal of philosophical readings over the past many years. I first realized this after my purchase of The Secret Doctrine, HP Blavatsky. I had a hard time following along, it was like I missed the first couple of books or teachings. Some where in the sleeping consciousness of my memories, the knowing that I knew what was being talked about. As Interest and curiosity persisted, I came across others, many others, to many to list, that would all of a sudden fill the gaps of confusion with understanding. From one author and one book to another, they were all synchronized for my understanding.
We are not meant to know all that there is in existence while embodied, we are meant to rediscover and to experience knowledge corporeally, over many life times. To learn anew, different purposes and meanings to life.
It is human nature, the need to acquire knowledge
Socrates
I believe that we are supposed to continue on learning, gaining new knowledge, new experiences, new wisdom, for our own development in this life, to add to our memories for the next.
