ization, nor is it intended to form one, but to let people

QUESTION No. 181.
// one wlw believes in the teachings advanced by the
Rosicrucians earnestly maintains that they are true, is he
not in danger of becoming dogmatic and intolerant of the
opinions of others

? And what should be his attitude towards
those who refuse to accept these teachings?
Answer: It is of utmost importance that we should
recognke the fact that, at least in our present limited
existence, we cannot possibly arrive at truth in the ulti-
mate. Therefore, that which seems to us "truth, and the
whole truth" is most likely after all only a part of the
truth. As we evolve and become capable of understand-
ing more and more, our conceptions of life, the world, and
God, change. Therefore, we ought at all times to have
the open mind so that we may receive new truth, and al-
though we should never be lukewarm but always earnest
for that which we believe to be the truth, we should never
forget the fact that there are still greater
truths which
we have not yet learned. Then we are open minded and
cannot become creed bound or hide bound.
