Paul Brunton Philosophic Foundation homepage > Notebooks of Paul Brunton



The pure truth cannot come out of human vessels which are crooked, deformed, enraged, destructive, insane, exasperated, extremist, perceiving nothing good or true or beautiful in the past, and fanatically believing they alone hold such values. But such people may still be vessels for a partial, confused, and mixed-up truth. This is where the young--naïve, inexperienced but adventurous, courageous, fresh, idealistic, utopian--may fall into traps, marshes, or illusions.
