{Truth for a Time}[16th May 1983]

[Redbook2:278][19830516:1715]{Truth for a Time}[16th May 1983]

.1715

The cat has brought in a smell of fish.


(This has nothing to do with the previous sentence so far as I know:)

The Truth which may be known is at the core of every being, and is therefore outside the World as we perceive the World. An incarnate being may know the Truth as the Truth may be known, but may communicate to others only in the terms comprehensible to the World. These terms vary from time to time. No-one incarnate may know the terms for all times: if he did, he could not exist within his time. Therefore, to say (as might be said) that Moses, or Jesus, or Mohammed is the last word for all time is wrong: the relations of their teachings to the teaching required for our times are as the terms of their times are to ours, some indication of which may be obtained from a careful study of religious and secular affairs in each time.
