The "Adept" is more than content to be allowed to
remain silent, keeping what he may know to himself, unless worthy
seekers wish to share it. He has so done for ages, and can do so for a
little longer. Moreover, he would rather not "arrest attention" or
"command respect" at present. Thus he leaves his audience to first
verify his statements in every case by the brilliant though rather
wavering light of modern science: after which his facts may be either
accepted or rejected, at the option of the willing student. In short,
the "Adept"--if one indeed--has to remain utterly unconcerned with, and
unmoved by, the issue. He imparts that which it is lawful for him to
give out, and deals but with facts.
The philological and archeological "difficulties" next demand attention.
Philological and Archeological "Difficulties"
Two questions are blended into one. Having shown the reasons why the
Asiatic student is prompted to decline the guidance of Western History,
it remains to explain his contumacious obstinacy in the same direction
with regard to philology and archeology.
