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.
