Each one of us, including Maxwell, has a piece to the puzzle. If someone shares their understandings, but they don't have the 'full truth' are they a snake oil salesman? Are they a liar?
Do any of us have a TM on the full truth? Is there not always More?
Are we all snake oil salesman? Or are we here to learn, and come up higher, and grow our piece of the puzzle.
Discernment is key. The discernment is not in choosing who to follow. It is realizing that no human being has the full truth but they may most definitely have pieces of the puzzle. So discernment is to discern what is truth based on continually adding up the pieces of the puzzle rather than thinking one person has all the answers... they don't, but that doesn't make them a liar either.
In fairness, when someone like Maxwell acts as a know it all... then critics have a point though
I agree he most definitely does not know it all. As Bladvatskey did not know it all. It doesn't make them evil, it makes them human.
