The words of this article speak such truth. The "spritually freed " mind hears them and the heart rejoices. There is indeed sanity and reason in the world. Only a small ember remains! Embers can be stoked into raging infernos to destroy all evil if only we have no fear. Ever been curious as to why Jesus taught with parables! I certainly have been. When I discovered an answer within myself, it made such perfect sense. The ego and the counselor of truth exist with you in your minds. The ego blocks all truth because it yells so loud that only it has any merrit within the discussions in your mind. Our greatest gift of our one true Father, the Counselor of Truth, our eternal mother the Holy Spirit", is so much softer in it's counsel. The ego's defences do not allow for discussion of our Father or even the simple acknowledgement of HIs very existeance within normal thought. The truth must be realized from within! Ergo the parables were designed to sneak past the ego and have the truth realized from within!
In total agreement with this article you cannot force (legislate) truth on anyone. One must be as beguiling as Christ in his approach to teaching in order to deliver the message of truth. Our job is to deliver the truth through our actions more so than through our words.
Thanks for giving me solace with your article!
