The fool who persists in his folly will become wise. ~ William Blake<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It seems that every week, I get a question from someone with a similar question. Although the specific issues may differ, they follow the same pattern. The questioner is full of ideas and notions, of an exoteric type. He then wonders how to reconcile them. Unfortunately, that is the path of a Kopfmensch, a man stuck in his head. Usually they are disappointed with my response and quietly go away. Or worse, they think that I did not understand the question. Your thoughts are not so deep that they defy comprehension.<\/p>\n

The Dunning-Kruger<\/a> effect kicks in. The most ignorant are the most certain, but true seekers are more humble. I have quoted many sages who indicate that unverifiable opinions need to be purged from your mind in order to make progress.<\/p>\n

If you feel an affinity to the topics discussed here, you may be called. In that case, it is important to persist in your inquiries and studies even if they seem baffling to you. (Yes, I have been called baffling.) \u00a0Most just give up. But we want the opposite of the Dunning-Kruger people.<\/p>\n

Have confidence that, if you follow the path, that you will become wise. God will guide you.<\/em><\/p>\n
