Only a clear mirror reflects yourself trueThus through the eyes of your soul
can one see the deceptions
of the programmed selfish separate self ...
It is said that a wise man listens & learns from the wise and the fool. Human beings can, and should, learn from anyone and everyone, and from life itself. Everything attempts to teach us and we can learn if we are open. We may also learn from the 'school of hard knocks' - life's experiences. This is the unfortunate way that most people learn; unfortunate in that it is the slowest and most painful way. We learn best by way of 'Osmosis' -- absorbing by contact -- from the experiences of others. In this way we benefit from the lessons already learned by others who have already undergone the coursework from the 'school of hard knocks'. This is the easiest, fastest and wisest way to learn. The experiences of others can be ours if we are open to it. To learn by osmosis from the 'clear mirror' of the universal consciousness -- in the form of an unselfish & unconditionally loving fellow soul -- is the easiest and best way to learn & grow spiritually.
