All teachers, thinkers, philosophers, prophets, and other such individuals have always had, and will always have, their own portions of the truth. Yet all truth IS partial, and all partial truths are likewise parallel, and, as one teacher in particular said, because "all truth is parallel", "all truth is untrue". In the end, each individual has to reckon, to "wrestle", to do battle with and conquer and surrender to Truth—to love it, and to know it, and destroy it—on their own terms, on their own, lone path through a wilderness known only to themselves, wherein sounds a voice only they can hear, in a world empty but of them and uniquely their own. Meaning, like Truth, is as much a tool as anything else; we've got our work cut out for us, and many tools at our disposal, in building within us the Temple in which Our Nature will appear clearly—though to our eyes alone, turned inward, and forever unseen to anyone but what, and who, we truly are. V.I.T.R.I.O.L.: "Visita Interiora Terræ Rectificando Invenies Occultum Lapidem." "Yet the most High dwelleth not in houses made by hands..." (Acts 7:48, D–R) "The Angel interacts... in accordance with our True Will and our... ripeness to be a... vehicle for its Power. The God will not indwell a filthy Temple." — Nathan Bjorge, in 『Spiritual Exercises of Thelema』(『The Thelemic Trilogy』, Vol. I of III), 2001 (Ch. XIII: The Holy Guardian Angel)
