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.
