The beauty of any orthodoxy is the clear path it offers the follower. To a questioning and unsettled mind, claims of “This is the way” are comfortingly definite. However the problem with orthodoxy is that it can stifle the curiosity and expansiveness of the spiritual student, actually preventing the fuller realization of the Presence. But we must be careful not to reject any path or religion just because it is common or easily understood. It is not by the rejection of ideas and beliefs that our faith grows, but by putting what Truth we find — wherever we find it — to good use.
