Knowledge is leading people astray

reply to post by Ralphy

Sooner or later if we want to progress, we have to face ourselves instead of trying to gain knowledge to find a way around ourselves.. Knowledge can be a great tool but that's all we should see it as.

Everyone is progressing at their own pace.
The knowledge - in other words, the contents and mechanics of the external world - is how we relate (separate, compare and contrast) existence to ourselves as individuals.

If there were no external world, there would be only emptiness in the mind, and therefore nothing to focus on.
The greatest tranquility is within, but the much needed lessons are "out there."
