# The Barred Absolute The conviction that existence contains knowledge that only can be handled by the right person on the right occasion and that cannot be made generally available. Zoroastrianism, Judaism, and the Eastern religions are built on the barred absolute as their foundation. It is the difference between sutra and tantra in the Silk Road triad. Only Christianity and Islam proclaim that the barred absolute is removed and that all true believers have direct and unfiltered access to God. Which has dramatic consequences.
