True Religion Extends Alike To The Intellect

Tryon Edwards
True religion extends alike to the intellect and the heart. intellect is in vain if it lead not to emotion, and emotion is vain if not enlightened by intellect; and both are vain if not guided by truth and leading to duty.

More From Tryon Edwards

It is not given to man to know the whole truth. his duty lies in living up to the truth as he sees it, and in doing so, to resort to the purest means, i.e., to non-violence. god alone knows absolute truth. therefore, i have often said, truth is god. it follows that man, a finite being, cannot know absolute truth. nobody in this world possesses absolute truth. this is god's attribute alone. relative truth is all we know. therefore, we can only follow the truth as we see it. such pursuit of truth cannot lead anyone astray.

If you ant to feel deeply, you have to think deeply. too often we separate the two. we assume that if we want to feel deeply, then we need to sit around and, well, feel. but emotion built on emotion is empty. true emotion- emotion that is reliable and does not lead us astray- is always a response to reality, to truth.
Reality Thinking Two
The idea that hispanics or women or any other group of people think alike, vote alike? that's what democrats want. they want mind-numbed robots who all think alike and who all vote alike. it's easy! you dumb them down, you get rid of critical thinking, and you just have a blob, basically, out there of people that look for the d on the ballot and pull the lever.
Thinking Ideas People
Alike and ever alike, we are on all continents in the need of love, food, clothing, work, speech, worship, sleep, games, dancing, fun. from tropics to arctics humanity live with these needs so alike, so inexorably alike.

The true value of man is not determined by his possession, supposed or real, of truth, but rather by his sincere exertion to get to the truth. it is not possession of truth by which he extends his powers and in which his ever-growing perfectability is to be found. possession makes one passive, indolent and proud. if god were to hold all truth concealed in his right hand, and in his left only the steady and diligent drive for truth, albeit with the proviso that i would always and forever err in the process, and to offer me the choice, i would with all humility take the left hand.
