This night we will talk on ignorance. It is ignorant to reject
            the  facility  for  gaining  wisdom.  To  say,  therefore,  that  most  of
            mankind is ignorant would not be too much of an exaggeration.
            You  might  find  this  suggestion  repugnant,  yet  in  doing  so  you
            prove the point we make. Surely it would have been wise to have
            listened  further  so  that  you  might  understand  better  the
            statement  before  you  rejected  it?  Now  you  see  the  need  for
            compromise in this situation. Let us proceed, that you do reject so
            much of that which is given leaves you in that state of ignorance
            that leaves you so vulnerable to the denizens of the darker areas
            of total existence. Your ignorance is such that you do not permit
            yourself the opportunity to learn more of the life you lead, of the
            true purpose of that life, of the true significance of the existence of
            the facility for learning the answers that continuously upset the
            thinking  of  mankind.  We  may  appear  harsh  at  times  yet  if  you
            were to allow yourself full facility of your intellect together with
            the honest openness then all illumination would be received.

                   There  are  many  lessons  we  receive  from  your
            deliberations,  many  is the  memory  that  is  evoked for  us.  It  is  a
            constant  striving  for  understanding  that  keeps  us  searching  for
            ways that we may understand that which precedes us, and it is the
            knowledge that we gain in this search that we impart to you. It
            happens  that  we  find  from  time  to  time  a  contradiction  in  our
            thinking due to fresh enlightenment, and thus we have to revise
            our thoughts and transmit these changes to you.



                   This situation causes you confusion but it need not. In the
            science of research it is necessary that the openness we talked of
