Well, - 'who knows?' is easy to answer. In all this huge world there's one person who has all the answers, and only one person we'd also trust enough to accept them - and that is WE OURSELVES. All other sources we distrust, suspect hidden motives, and know that they won't take responsibility for their advice.
Yet deep within ourselves is everything we ever want to know. Within ourselves we carry a vast ocean of knowledge, of wisdom, of comprehension that opens unknown breadths of life. Deep within ourselves we find answers that convince us.
This knowledge is with us now. We were born with it. The door is open - we can access it at any time we want.
How to Access This Untapped Wisdom Now - we are trained to believe that knowledge is separate from us, something we need to gain laboriously through study, research, experience or deliberation.
Yet real understanding, real wisdom has nothing to do with learning, or thinking, or with obtaining certain information.
We experience this at times of exams, when to our horror everything we studied months or years suddenly blanks from our mind. Then it gets through to us that merely cramming data into memory doesn't create comprehension. The mass of data stored in books and other media is at best raw material. At worst it gives us an illusion of knowing that forestalls all efforts to go for real comprehension.
We open our treasure-trove of wisdom not by any current learning method, nor by accumulating formal data, but by expanding our ability to understand, - by shifting attention to broader levels of comprehension.
