The way of the radically advanced follower of God, as The Living One describes (
www.templeoffreedom.org) is important to he who wants to go for Enlightenment or God Realization(You know, what Jesus and Buddha supposedly did). I am one of those people whose goal is Enlightenment. The word "Radical" is rooted in Latin to "roots, to get to the root."
There comes a time in one's life when he/she must make a choice: between Knowledge and doubt. I have decided to go for Knowledge and to end suffering. But, one must accept a twinge of suffering if he's going to "eliminate" the rest. It's like the idea of vaccinations in medicine: you give the patient a little of the disease so that he can be free of it.
A recent Robert Redford film, "Lions for Lambs", had a good catchphrase: If you don't stand for something, you might fall for anything.
