Knowledge does not come to us in details,
but in flashes of light from heaven.
-Henry David Thoreau.*  


Knowledge is generally defined, at last nowadays, as facts integrated by the mental faculty.  True knowledge is in fact a total integration of Truth into the whole being, so it is not only the mental faculty but [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is currently common among biblical scholars to study the "historical Jesus".¹'² This interest is paralleled, and to a small extent influential on general interest in the topic among the public. In Christians, some of this takes the form of interest in details of Jesus' "personality", or even his physical appearance, as religious accessories.³]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Moderns excitedly point out that the holidays that mark the birth and resurrection of Christ occur at times of the year that are of spiritual and ritual significance to many other traditions, particularly those that predate Christianity...This in turn suggests that the origins of Christianity are mundane rather than divine.But this is circular reasoning, because it makes a big assumption at the outset.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A miracle occurs when the supernatural order directly intervenes in the natural order.

		<description><![CDATA[Some people reading traditionalist writers get finicky when they first see Truth with a capital T, because they doubt that any ultimate Truth can be attainable, or even worse, they fear a monopolization of opinion in the intention of establishing an “intolerant” version of Truth in society; both are typical misunderstandings of an individualistic modern era.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This method of spiritual recognition has two inescapable and mutually inclusive sides: on one hand ethics as a guide for behavior for the external, material world, and on the other hand a contemplative exercise for inward, spiritual experience. In order to know the Divine, beyond all the acknowledged metaphysical theory, both these interdependent and indivisible aspects must be present within a given religion.¹

What exactly is this contemplative praxis? Very simple: Prayer.]]></description>

The word itself, however, directly implies that which is essential to all religions and metaphysical doctrines, the Absolute.]]></description>
