Words from the Wise

Secret Words of Liberation


Among our self-inflicted sufferings are the results of our pampering of our own egos. Something from within tells us that we need to be important, that we are to be taken seriously in our thoughts and in our expressions of them.


In order to accomplish this we must be constantly on guard to appear as one who knows. We are burdened with our own opinions, some of which we actually believe; or think that we believe them.


We are deceived not by what we know, but by what we think that we know.We confuse experiential knowledge with knowledge gleaned from exposure to outside sources.
