Wise words!

It is tempting to mistake the theoretical knowledge of this kind with the true meaning or feeling. It is also just too easy to mistake ones ego with living by traditions. I'm a human and my ego is not conquered for sure. While reaching out may be the first step towards a way of finding what we may look for, it is not the traditions itself.

On the one hand it is good that knowledge is available for most, on the other hand it is the motivation behind it, of what to do with the informations we can gather, that matters. And you are right, it can do a lot of harm.

There are enough examples in history, being German there is one famous example of how the traditions and knowledge in the wrong hands can lead to fatal consequences.

Few reached the level of being what many are longing for, but those went the entire way of doing so. With all the "sacrifice" that comes by leaving our egos behind.

I'm a firm believer of mystics, do I live by it? Nope. Have I read books and understood what I was reading? Sure. Do I live by it? Nope. Do I have my ways of practicing what my understanding of some things are? Yes. Am I entitled to teach others? Definitely not.

Some topics can be made public, others should stay secretly. I mentioned in a post about Ayurveda that it is a great topic but only by reading about it I can not live it. There has to be a true person of knowledge to be able to determine where you belong too. I understand it but still I don't know it.

I like to share knowledge of some kind, sure there is always the way to search the www for everything but most people don't bother to look things up. So with some topics sharing common knowledge can help educate those who don't have the time or will to do their own research. With other topics you should just leave it.

Jeez this comment makes a great post on its own lol. Sorry if it got a little out of hand 😇 .
