“And I must also remember the heartbreaking rules of Earth School. The reality is that, at any given time in a human life, we cannot see beyond what we understand to be true right then. We are only ever working with the level of wisdom that we have acquired up till that moment. We cannot access tomorrow's wisdom today, much less yesterday. And when wisdom finally does arrive, it often enters our minds through the pain of lived experience. If you haven't lived the experience yet, then you don't get the wisdom.”
