Know Thy Self....is wise advice indeed but sometimes i think the heavens are silent because intelligence eventually destroys itself...but i take the wisdom you speak of and think...today the Pantheon and School of Athens would welcome women...so at least there we have grown

Dear friend Demetrios, your words are replete with wisdom and revelation. It may take quite a long time, but we'll get there if we keep at it and recognize our weaknesses.

I only wish more and more people to complete the erection of the Temple, my dearest friend, Lasaad! Thank you for your delightful comment. God bless you!

It may take a lifetime Demetrios but patience and recognising our faults will get us there. Tom

True, my dearest friend, Tom. Unfortunately, the majority never finish the Temple. Those who persist have better results. Very few though complete the structure. Thank you and blessings!
