religion is about having the right answers, and some of their answers are right... but i am about the process that takes you to the living answer... it will change you from the inside. there are a lot of smart people who are able to say a lot of right things from their brain because they have been told what the right answers are, but they don't know me at all.
Preceptive wisdom that has not been vivified by life has in itself no affinity for life.
You cannot create experience. You must undergo it.
Don't believe anything you read on Wikipedia!
Accurate knowledge is the basis of correct opinions; the want of it makes the opinions of most people of little value.
Real smarts begin when you quit quoting other people.

Learned we may be with another man's learning: we can only be wise with wisdom of our own.
All genuine knowledge originates in direct experience.
Wisdom is never dear, provided the article be genuine.
True learning must not be content with ideas, which are, in fact, signs, but must discover things in their individual truth.

Turn off the TV and start digging around for information that's not from a corporation trying to make money.
I'm trying to inform people, so I try to present them with accurate information.
I'm trying to find out what's actually true, which is nearly always something, if not a world of things, that you can't read in books.
Words may help you understand something, but experience allows you to know. Never ever trade your own experience for someone else's words about anything that is really important... like God, for instance, or Love, or what is true about another.
I hate quotations. Tell me what you know.
I feel that the world needs writers. We need to know what's really going on.
