Bill Meredith commented on Charles Cosimano's blog post "There is No Religion Higher than Truth.""One might ask which religion? Which science and philosophy? Which truth?

At times I will share passages from literature, philosophy, poetry, lyrics, etc that have both moved and sustained me. While many of the authors may not be from the recognized theosophical literature I believe they are theosophical in nature none-the-less. I also believe that the authors I bring here do their best work when I stay out of there way as much as possible. Other readers are encouraged to share as well.
