H. E. Davey
Quote
Memorizing someone else’s explanation of the truth isn’t the same as seeing the truth for yourself. It is what it is — the memorization of second-hand knowledge. It is not your experience. It is not your knowledge. And no matter how much material is learned by rote, and no matter how eloquently we can speak about the memorized information, we’re clinging to a description of something that’s not ours. What’s more, the description is never the item itself. By holding onto our impression of certain descriptions, we frequently are unable to see the real thing when it’s right before our eyes. We are conditioned by memorizing and believing concepts — the truth of which we’ve never genuinely seen for ourselves.
