External Knowledge is not something to be attached to, and by external knowledge I mean any information that comes from the exterior of your being. This also includes ideas and beliefs since often times these are only past down or recycled pieces of information. It is at times very tempting to cling to such information because our desire for truth can be so strong. Let me point out passionately, truth cannot be found in the mind. As I’ve said many times, emotion and thought are a tool of your life experience, kind of like how your refrigerator can be considered a life tool. How silly it would be to approach our freezer and say, “who am I?”
When referencing the mind and emotion for truth, all it is able to do is offer up information which it has already been exposed to. It can become very convincing considering it knows our desires very well. It does it job by providing answers, but don’t mistake those answers as truth. Real truth is beyond anything you read, hear, or experience, at best they can only be pointers to truth, or doorways which are meant to be walked through, not as parking spaces. As with what you read in my writing, it is only meant as a guide for some, hopefully showing a path which may lead to your awakening.
