Where "why" is...

Linda regarding:

Everything that you had to say was relevant within the traditional framework of religious theology. However, "Why" is outside the box. "Why" belongs to the Mystery Schools, to the Secret Societies, to the Foundation Stone, and to the Sword Excalibur. "Why" is the truth that lies within each of us.

I like how you composed that. I, in a different sense, think "Why" belongs to God. As such it's function is to humble us in the Face of God, who is not limited by this question.

And, I like to think that "Why" is not outside the box - but instead we don't realize that the box is bigger than we think.
