Faith vs. Knowledge

"'Man can know the facts. Faith need not be blind.' Man is endowed with all the faculties necessary for complete knowledge both of himself and the visible and invisible universe. Extended vision is one of the required faculties. By its development and use, the boundaries of human knowledge may be gradually advanced until noumenon and phenomenon are full investigated and ultimately known as one.

"This fact is of importance, for at heart man is a seeker, an investigator, an explorer.

"... Knowledge when substantiated is valuable for its own sake. It is still more valuable if it can be applied to human welfare. The present approach of science to the idea of the universe is the product of creative thought and purpose renders valuable knowledge concerning the realm of universal mind in which, according to occult investigation, creative Intelligences are active."
