We live in an age where we can pick up a book of the teaching of some enlightened Master and, after an afternoon’s reading, decide we get all that he is saying. This is called the I-get-it Syndrome. It keeps you stuck.

We function from our conditioning. Our life experiences condition our awareness and feelings to function a certain way. What we think is mostly a function of how we have been conditioned to think. What we feel is mostly a function of how we have been conditioned to feel. So, when you read the teachings of a great enlightened Master, you perceive onto them and say, “Oh yeah, I get that.” The teachings are viewed through your conditioning.
~
Thereby, the Master’s words are heard on a superficial level.
~
We decide that we understand something simply because we intellectually understand it.
~
In that manner, Knowledge is lost. True knowledge is found as one awakens to one’s inner essence. Knowledge does not come from out to in.
~
True Knowledge is attained from within and radiates out.
