Nothing is real until it is experienced and even then we have our doubts.
Experiential knowledge surpasses "book" knowledge. Once we have done something -- seen something -- then knowledge moves from head to heart.
Sometimes, from the same, or similar experience, we learn different truths. Sometimes what we thought we learned was incorrect and must be re-learned. From repeated mistakes comes a different view of reality.
We are weak and fallible creatures who are faultless until experiential wisdom proves otherwise.
Never accept what you think you know as truth. All things in this life are tainted by corruption from "the fall." -- Genesis Chapter 3
I've no idea why my thoughts have taken this direction this morning. Perhaps it is because today is an anniversary. It is a signpost along the pathway of aging, of maturity, of the passage of time. It is a day to remember overcoming shortcomings and struggles and remembering joys and victories. It is a realization that there is an end ahead which marks the termination of the temporal and a heightened awareness of the eternal. It will be an awakening of true knowledge.-- 1 Corinthians Chapter 15
