~Arthur Schopenhauer
"To the man who studies to gain a thorough insight into science, books
and study are merely the steps of the ladder by which he climbs to the
summit; as soon as a step has been advanced he leaves it behind. The
majority of mankind, however, who study to fill their memory with facts
do not use the steps of the ladder to mount upward, but take them off
and lay them on their shoulders in order that they may take them along,
delighting in the weight of the burden they are carrying. They ever
remain below because they carry what should carry them."

~Sarah:
"For
years, I was so convinced that education and higher education were "the
answer". In retrospect, I don't know the answer to what specifically - human suffering maybe, or the innate desire for unconditional Love. Formal education is OK for this human life. But, it won't get you
into "Heaven". Forgiveness is the key to Love. Love is the key to
Heaven. Not forgiveness of specific things that have happened in time
and space...but the "big Forgiveness of the alledged Separation from
God". That one. We collectively made a miss-Take. We individually
correct that miss-take by remembering that we are but dreaming of
separation from God. Simple...but not an easy practice. Why? Because we
are so steeped in the "reality" of our own ideas of our self/ves and
others. Question everything."
