Just a point of curiosity, if one puts his faith in ("the things mentioned
above")
what is the point of the fraternity/brotherhood, whatever you call it?
I am not wanting to come over as disrespectfull, but if I trusted in the
things
mentioned above, I would already be sure that everything on my path would be
inspired by the things mentioned above. That he/she it, would make sure that
all
the lessons I needed to learn and things to see would be supplied.


Perhaps, but the Ineffable One also granted you free will, to choose your
path and learn from what mistakes you may encounter along the way... Why
would the Creator grant you that freedom of will, yet on the other hand
remove the obstacles from your path? Why wouldn't He just set you on the
correct path to begin with?

Your teachers in school gave you some of the answers to the questions you
studied, but not all of them; they also taught you how to research and learn
on your own. I believe the same can be said of the Great Instructor Of All,
as well.
