Wisdom and knowlegde become separated when your understanding of a situation is based on your own outdated experiences. This is the reason that the number of stupid old people is growing rapidly. All their life experience doesn't make them better equipped to understand and govern the world. Quite the opposite: they are worse than beginners because they try to solve tomorrow's problem with yesterday's solutions. Mere knowlegde becomes out of date very quicly, but wisdom has no expiration date.
Easy is right.
Begin right and you are easy.
Continue easy and you are right.
The right way to go easy is to forget the right way
and forget that the going is easy.
Real freedom is choosing what you belong to. It says that real freedom is not the freedom from belong or sharing or closeness, but the freedom to choose your beloning and responsibilities.
What we call reality is fantasy manifested in time and space. Andt through your contact with the essence you will be able to see the world as a fairy tale, and you will see how the road leads from fantasy to reality and back.
Don't ask yourself what the world needs;
ask yourself what makes you come alive.
And then go and do that.
Because what the world needs
is people who have come alive.
- Harold Whitman
