Knowledge: Love and The Love of Pure Knowledge

If anyone can state that knowledge rules, then why is there open suppression of knowledge? In our era, where there is the reality of a high academic achievement potential for anyone and everyone, on a global or international level, active suppression of knowledge still exists; so does the repression of writer's works and the oppression of writers. Often, knowledge is put down by authority figures, authoritarian rule or even by brute force. It is suppressed in many parts of the world even during this time when there is a demand for extremely high technology, all over the world.

For many generations, knowledge has been kept from thousands of people, on a global scale. Many times, certain kinds of knowledge have been kept completely secret. People have been left untaught or uneducated all around the globe, while the knowledge that they need for basic survival has been hidden, suppressed or repressed.

Frequently there have been repeated attempts to prohibit the publication or revelation of knowledge and truth. This is true of the past; it is still happening in the present and will continue to happen in the future.

As a way to compensate in many parts of the world, knowledge has been accumulated as secret knowledge, because the human perception of what is being taught does not include adequate understanding for appropriate comprehension. If anything, many people are afraid of the power that others have gained through knowledge or the actual knowledge itself.

People with acquired knowledge are feared by many of those who know, or understand certain concepts or ideas. Knowledge is perceived in terms of negative power and oppression, rather than as a goal to be attained.

There are those who have been taught to exclude knowledge from their own consciousness, for whatever reason. They are not allowed to give vent to certain kinds of knowledge and thus, knowledge is repressed inwardly, as there is no expression of the awareness of that knowledge allowed, at least not in their particular community or society. At times, this knowledge may re-surface at a later date, or take on other forms.

On the other hand, throughout the generations, there have always been those whose quest for pure knowledge has never ceased. Even in times of severe depression or radical oppression, it is generally pure knowledge that has enabled the survival of the human race.

Real love of knowledge leads one to seek pure knowledge or truth for the ultimate good of humankind. Knowledge should be used rightly for the good of humankind and not for evil purposes.

One of the difficulties with respect to the suppression of knowledge lies in the reality that it is the knowledge itself, that is being sought and not the actual source of the knowledge, or God, the Giver of all pure
Knowledge.


The solution to this problem lies in seeking God first. If one seeks God first, He will invariably reveal pure knowledge and truth, but with a difference, namely within the guidelines of His Love.
