And I suppose I am pre-supposing that, as a race, and as spiritual beings, we are ultimately sliding towards self-destruction; hence the thirst metaphor. The idea of spiritual degradation or destruction does not really exist in the new age encyclopedia of things-that-might-be, so there isn't much to be gained by pushing that particular agenda around here. Still, the idea very much drives individuals like myself.
At any rate, I do not particularly believe we have anything to learn by being ignorant, and I do not believe that we are somehow strengthened by being starved. The idea that by having our nature withheld from us we might be somehow improved? I find it preposterous.
If such wise ones do exist, and are watching, then perhaps it is their wisdom that we should stand our fall on our own merits. That has a certain degree of cold logic.
