Knowledge we use from day-to-day is very surface. It is not depth, it is not wisdom it is not in sight. It is the communication of the common decisions of people. It is the way we have decided to teach our children, and what we are going to teach them is the knowledge that we know. And the knowledge we know I might mention is not really good.. You have a great deal of Education but what are we teaching ? Are we teaching the individuals to grow or are we trying to train them for a job? Training for a non permanent job. By the time he's trained the job is not there. Or the very tool he was trained to use is now obsolete..

So much so-called knowledge is obsolete.. Knowledge gives us the histories of the activities of our people. It gives us a certain history of our own Nation and our own world. But this history deals with situations that no longer exist. Or if they do exist they have become so subordinated we gain very little by continuing to maintain them..

So knowledge is a very surface thing. It is adapted to by the hour. And this is what we get in public schools. No broad depth of understanding concerning Human Nature. No high ideals about the destiny of man. You are not even allowed to bring in any religious factors because they will Disturb the surface of the existing chaos.

The knowledge of today wants us to go into space. They say if we are able to go to space it will change the course of Ages.. There is no reason to believe that if they send a spaceship out there it's going to solve anything. Because we are not out there, we are here.. A conquest of space is so we might be able to colonise it. Or we can use it as a garbage can. Either way it's not particularly that valuable. And all the way along we do not really solve anything. We do not really understand anything. We are born ignorant and we die ignorant. And in between we learn to make a living and few learn to make a fortune. But when the whole thing is shaking down where are we.. The great values do not grow because we do not permit them to grow. We have no real reason to believe that we want to improve. We really just want to stay the way we are and have more. Knowledge is simply being aware of how things are being mishandled at the moment It also has something to do with, if we can make the same mistakes, we may be able to be as rich as those people we don't like. We do not recognize that living on the surface of thinking, we are condemning ourselves to errors of surface living. We are not here to live on the surface of the Mind we are not here to live on only the pleasures of the Mind or the pleasures of buying or the pleasures of luxury. We are here as individuals to improve to grow to think and to understand life. We are also here, if possible, to see if we could pass on to another generation a world a little better for us having been here rather than a world falling apart because of our mistaken understanding. On the other side of this is wisdom all of the knowledge out there is capable of being examined by wisdom. Wisdom is meaning. Wisdom is something that amounts to something.. Knowledge comes to us from the outside. The interpretation of knowledge comes to us from the inside.. We are gradually learning that from the inside of ourselves we have to explain the things that are happening in the outside world.. This is tough because the things happening on the outside are inconsistent with the values on the inside.. The thing that has made this matter endurable is the fact that the wisdom of the inside of the person has not yet developed.. That's why we see no real Rebellion. Rebellion is a very individual matter. The individual has seen enough misery and enough suffering he decides to do what he can about it. On the other hand many who witness the same things do nothing. Life goes on under knowledge. Life is changed under wisdom. Life grows because deeper and fuller meanings are important to the individual. It challenges the individual to grow. It does not leave him to be born and to die in the same misery...
