{Innocence and Truth}[20th August 1987]

[Redbook4:59][19870820:1800]{Innocence and Truth}[20^th August 1987]

19870820.18--

Taking up the points on p57* arising during my mammoth collation and annotation exercise on these Journals:

(1) **The suggestion is that Innocence might be the 'Vice' at Attraction, and Truth the 'Virtue' at Unity. This is perhaps 'Truth' in general terms as a Virtue – cf. Vol III.(Opener)***: this Truth can be about something – linked to, but not quite the same as, The Truth at the Centre (There?), which can't.

Truth is noticeably lacking from the list of Virtues (so is Goodness, for that matter – but Goodness may be either (a) so general as to encompass all Virtues (= Virtuous?) and/or (b) effectively identical with Truth in practical, i.e. characteristic, terms – as I have linked Good with God (and Evil with Separation).****

If it comes to that, Innocence is not a particularly vicious Vice, but that is what you would expect of +C: I think there is a case for saying that it could be a type of Vice, if Sloth is (and if Pride is...?).

xS would get it from +C, then – not out of line with the way the Circles work generally (see below#).#*
