The ability to learn and expand our consciousness is what separates humans from the lesser animals. Transcendental knowledge is available only to us spirit souls that are blessed with human minds and bodies. There are two ways to acquire knowledge ━ ① ascending process, and ② descending process. The ascending process is completely reliant on our imperfect material senses, mind, and intellect. The descending process is when we receive information from a trusted source and accept it as fact based on the trust we have in that source.
Modern science is a clear example of the ascending process. Scientists use their mundane senses to perform experiments and notate the results. This way leads to a lot of trial and error, changing hypotheses, and disproving theories that were formerly considered to be fact. Greek philosophers stated that all matter is made of small particles called atoms. Then Ernest Rutherford proved that the atoms are not just small particles but had a nucleus and ions. Finaly the quantum theory states that matter vibrates with energy at a subatomic level. This conclusion is already stated in the Spiritual Science, and it even takes it a step further and explains that there are three types of energies ━ ① material, ② spiritual, and ③ marginal. I will get more in depth on this topic in later posts.
When your mother told you who your father was, did you ask for a paternity test? Most of us would say no, because she's the authority on this topic. Even if you got a paternity test, you'd be relying on the results based on scientific theory that might not be accurate. Either way, you'd be depending on someone else to give you an answer. The Absolute Truth is the single source of all knowledge on all topics. Obviously, I'm incapable of learning all transcendental knowledge, and can barely comprehend the fact that it's infinite and final, but I'm aspiring to explain as much as I can as I navigate this transcendental world and spiritual journey.
