Liberating Knowledge

In society the phrase "knowledge is power" is confirmed daily. Such amassed knowledge is the result of activities of the I-consciousness, the thinking. Today's culture, politics, science and society have arisen from this I-conscious thinking.
It is the question whether such knowledge solves the riddle of life. Does this type of learning provide the answers to the essential questions about being human? People are experiencing more and more how limited man's knowledge is. It cannot escape certain boundaries.
But there is a knowledge, true knowledge, which can be obtained by a totally different method of learning. The learning method of "rememberance." It is not limited to the activities of the intellect, but is a gift of the soul. It is a plan of life that breaks through the frontiers of space and time and leads into eternity.
The corrupt present-day soul does not conform to this definition. The true original soul comprehends differently than the intellect and memory. In this soul the beginning already contains the end, just as the mature plant is already hidden in the seed. Time in one sense does not exist for the soul, but is only a means of making expression possible. To liberate something which already exists.
