Smeared.. you've got the right attitude goin on in the pursuit of knowledge. It is essential to come to an understanding cultivated by self rather than others. At the same time looking to others and various teachings of thought can lead your pursuit through some very profound adventures. It's about always having a vast array of sources to pull references from..because after all the only truth is a universal one, right? A vital aspect of it all is being open and free to be "like water making its way through the cracks."
Rev and Ego, I deeply appreciate both of your posts. It really brings to the forefront of awareness how deeply rooted we are in a linear mode of operation for the majority of our dynamic existence. Its as if we're continuously waiting for something to happen while "The ongoing WOW is happening right now". Such close encounters with the subject are very inspiring.
I think its about due time for another shroom trip myself...ahh
