STS Lies

[zenmaster]

This is probably why many spiritual teachers spoke in parables; they could convey the concepts without triggering the students' fear reflex by hearing something they weren't ready to accept.

Not only to make the information 'safe' for consumption, but to prevent an acceptance without having prior groundwork done. That is the potential infringement. Knowing where the other is 'at', the info is withheld to prevent corruption or leading them astray. Apparently, that's not necessarily a compassionate act, since STS will also do this to prevent karmic binding.

We are all 'logoi'. The more one seeks and accepts, the more responsibility is required due to being placed into a position of guidance.
