Replying to LO19273 --

Dear Winfried Deijmann,

>I think knowledge relates to trust like war relates to peace.
snip
>Trust had become knowledge.

What a deep, puzzling idea - and what a strong, hurting example for this
idea.

I have just started to read Friedrich Weinreb, a dutch, jewish philosopher
who became aware of the depth and beauty of a timeless creation known as
"Thora". May be you know this work. It seems to me now, that the Thora is
about the path from knowledge for ward to trust again.

This path may lead to a series of emergences, as long as knowledge is an
expression for the hunger for trust.

Immergences occur whenever one looses the hope for the reality behind the
known reality. Trust is cut off then and the knowledge becomes a reality
of its own.

What I want to say is, that I would never accept that "Trust had become
Knowledge" is the end of the story.

Liebe Gruesse,
Winfried Dressler
