Those who know and those who don't know.

OK, let's begin with a statement I read many years ago ina little book called "At the feet of the Master". I posted a link to a site that has the book for you to read.

In that book, the master says: " In all the world there are only two kinds of people—those who know, and those who do not know; and this knowledge is the thing which matters. What religion a man holds, to what race he belongs--these things are not important; the really important thing is this knowledge--the knowledge of God's plan for men. For God has a plan, and that plan is evolution. When once a man has seen that and really knows it, he cannot help working for it and making himself one with it, because it is so glorious, so beautiful. So, because he knows, he is on God's side, standing for good and resisting evil, working for evolution and not for selfishness."

Now, there are some who think they know,but actually, they don't know. It is not enough to have an intellectual understanding. One must have a true, complete understanding of this to really be "one who knows".

Once one gains understanding of this concept, the desire to continue to learn and grow can become overpowering. It can drive you to learn ever more.

That said, learning sometimes leads to unusual places and can open your eyes to different and unusual ideas.

In my next post, I will illustrate an odd example of one who knows that I ran into by accident while reading Moby Dick!

Till next time......
