Bailey's African Tradition's Concordance Terms Volume 14

Humankind entered the Universe and described each Reality Referent by: (1) "what it is"-i.e. its Self-Identity + its interrelationships (e.g. similarities in apparent dissimilarities) + the Setting of its Interrelationships; (2) Reality happenings by "what it does"-defining its motions and Matter via human-made measures; and (3) Perceived Reality by "how it appears"-with ballpark ideas using analogies for undefinable, hazy, indescribable Referents. These three are bits and pieces of what human minds have isolated and interpreted out of any Reality Referent-and none is Truth. Descriptions paint word pictures of only a tiny part of a Thing's special/identifying qualities/traits-e.g. behavior, form, shape, and/or pattern. From resultant bunches of such mental pictures are formed Thoughts. They undergo "inference leaping" into an Understanding of a flawed imitation meaning of the Reality Referent. So, Referent Descriptions--standing apart from Reality--are needed Symbol systems (e.g. words, gestures) to design ideas, thoughts, concepts, feelings, or labels to fashion a Referent imitation. This book's purpose is to provide processes and ingredients for experiencing "Knowing" a Reality Thing by becoming "One" with it. This is done by "stepping behind" all Referent Symbols, meanings, or emotions so as to "Feel" the "what it is" part of the true Referent Reality. Such occurs only with African Tradition's use of the pure Spiritual Elements of Unconditional Love, Truth, Reality, and the Natural to give Knowledge and Wisdom. None of these ever occur from Europeans' Supernatural methods.
