    It is not the learning which is important. Only in final and complete fulfilment can you be sure that your spirit is enlightened and the knowledge gained be truly retained. One who is sure he has not known before, what he was taught, is then destined to be certian that the lessons of previous learnings have been those which were intended. Perhaps they were, perhaps they weren't.

    Why would you seek the truth otherwise? But beware, the path to knowledge is also the path to destruction. The way it is used determines how stony the path will become.
    If at first you don't succeed, give something else a go. Life is far too short to waste time trying.

    Don't know what Gumby's been smoking, but it deserves a greenie.
