Rob must be tuning into the Oneness Principle. He writes:
"Do I sense a post about to be used as an example for applying what we've learned for discovering truth?
"Hmmm . . ."
The post he was referring to was the one on The Council of Nine. Let's apply some principles of discovery to discern whether or not there is any truth in this post.
We must admit that there is a lot of data in this writing, but data by itself is difficult to prove or disprove. If I say that there are six planets circling around Alpha Centura how could anyone prove or disprove it? It is well nigh impossible unless you are a Master.
If there is in reality a lot of true data in a writing, there will be revealed at least a hint of some underlying principle supporting the data. Therefore, the thing to ask here is: Is there any principle revealed here and, if there is, what is it?
If a writing claims to be new revelation, yet seems to copy old material, this is an indication it came from some human or astral mind. There are two, possibly three, books that motivated this writer. Which ones do you suppose they were?
When true principles are grasped, then a true teaching is easy to register and explain. Can anyone relate the meat of this post [The Council of Nine] in a short paragraph? Is there any useful information in this post? Is there anything here that brings a flashing forth of the intuition or registers with the soul?
Are there unusual words or phrases here that seem to make no sense but are written for effect on the astral nature? Was it presented as a teaching to pass by your soul or as absolute truth from a great being or beings?
