All things find their beginning in their causes. This is not a difficult notion to grasp. However, causes are infinite and therefore impossible to grasp, so the ultimate cause is beyond comprehension.
It is then said to me:
"What is the use of knowing that all things are caused if we can never know what those causes are? Causation may well be the Way of Nature, as you declare, and all things accordingly natural; but such knowledge is worthless! If you are correct in saying all things are natural, then nothing is unnatural and the word "natural" ceases to have any useful meaning. It seems you would have us do away with all our words."
Does it not help to know the Truth? Ask this of yourselves. I tell you, it is only the ego that cannot make use of Truth. Truth alone has the strength to free the mind of emotion and its distorting force. Being free of delusion, you will experience true freedom. Why worry about possibly having your words stripped from you? Even if you do lose your precious words, which I do not accept, is the Truth not good enough compensation?
It seems to me you cannot function without your precious distorting force. You seem to have no life beyond your fiction. Any authentic truth would sap the life blood out of you. You haven't the strength to see that your whole life from beginning to end has been a hopeless mistake. And even less have you the strength to confront others with such a truth. In the end you always conclude "It is useless to think in such a dangerous manner, that type of thinking never got anybody anywhere."
