It’s so clear, so obvious. Ever wonder why centuries ago people were so “brilliant” (sans the computer by the way!)? Independence from the system. They researched independently. Thought independently. They had more knowledge than most can even comprehend these days, and often could dictate this same massive body of knowledge in six, seven or more languages! Who do you know today that can do that? Who do you know that can even comprehend what I just said, what these 17th, 18th, & 19th century demi-gods actually accomplished?
Why and how could they accomplish this? Again, the answer is so obvious, but most simply refuse to acknowledge. It’s just to painful, to realize that, among other things, your entire education, from grade school to university, has been a lie. And not just a lie, but a purposeful dumbing-down of everything you could have been.
Today’s formal education serves one purpose only: to ready you to become a productive worker slave in the matrix. I say, buck the system, become the next Beethoven, Bach, DaVinci, Rembrandt. It’s never too late, imagine that. . .

Where There is Nothing
I was forgetting, we cannot destroy the world (that is, our commitment to the material) with armies, it is inside our minds/(consciousness) that it must be destroyed, it must be consumed in a moment inside our minds. God will accomplish his last judgement, first in one man’s mind and then in another. He is always planning last judgements. And yet it takes a long time.
I was mistaken when I set out to destroy Church and Law. The battle we have to fight is fought out in our own mind. There is a fiery moment, perhaps once in a lifetime, and in that moment we see the only thing that matters. It is in that moment the great battles are lost and won, for in that moment we are a part of the host of Heaven…We shall not come to that joy, that battle, till we put out the senses, everything that can be seen and handled, as I put out this candle…We must put out the light of the stars and the light of the sun and the moon (and the light of the laptop:) Til we brought everything to nothing once again. I saw a broken vision but now it is all clear to me. Where there is nothing, where there is nothing the is God (creation,art, poetry).
-W.B. Yeats
Your “Course” allows for 2 things which I believe are really important. – quiet undisturbed, focused time and immersion. In most endeavors, something happens when we really push ourselves, some space or inner faculty magically opens and expands. When we stay within comfort zones – that “something” never gets tapped into. So we don’t even know it’s there. I’m speaking from my own experience, but I’m sure it is a universal opportunity, just waiting….
Thought provoking, as always. 🙂
