If you have no way of verifying whether a piece of knowledge is true or not, yes you are a troll when you condemn the ideas of others when you have no idea what is right. We each must find our own truth. Who are you to decide for me by being rude and ugly?

Wanderer, please don't take the flack personally. It's not ment that way. Constructive opinions are a good thing.
On the whole, i think most are in agreement.
More information = good
Lots of infomation = find your truth
use your own filter. ect.

What you said is right. However, the whole purpose for this thread was the idea that all of the esoteric knowledge is now open to anyone to see.
Yes, the truth MUST be sought, BUT the truth is all open for anyone to pursue if they wish. You don't have to be a member of some occult group or be selected into some elite cult to have access to the truth.
My point is not how you go about pursuing the truth. What I am having such a hard time getting across is that no knowledge is hidden any longer from anyone. Even though many egotistically want to believe that that are the only ones that have access to the truth. They are wrong...
Peace

All you can do is to take in knowledge from many sources and then sit quietly, stop the noise from your mind/Ego and listen to what your heart tells you is the truth.

I don't disagree with you. It's quite clear that ALL of the hidden mysteries have been in plain sight for ages. The truth is all around us, always has been. It is quite possible for an individual to arrive at the True Enlightment on his own, however, it is arguably much better to learn from those that have gone that way before us.
You can build a rocket in your backyard to visit the moon if you want, but you'll build a much better rocket in far less time if you were to research NASA/JPL and maybe consult with a few propulsion experts and astro-physicists first.
Mystery Schools such as Freemasonry have maintained a wonderful framework for ages that helps a person find their way to enlightment. The path to enlightenment can be dangerous to an individuals mind if he is not properly prepared and guided on his journey. It's good to have a guide on that journey, though it is entirely possible to do it all on your own.

So, keep posting that you don't see any knowledge, truths or real knowledge. You have just made your choice...

No sorry. So you can then say to each one, "No, that's not right!" And start another silly rant.
If you can't see them, I feel sorry for you. Honest. No sarcasm here.
