You are yourself your own barrier to perception of the cosmic meaning of this note.  Perhaps you are more concerned about your physical, everyday self than you are about cosmic meanings.

Do you know the difference between information and knowledge?   For instance, a list of books for sale on the Web on the subjects of Zen, Yoga or the Sufis would be information. Knowing which book you should deeply and thoroughly study and meditate on until its important meanings and know-how have become your own would be knowledge.   People will select and read books at random on serious subjects because (A) they cannot afford to buy all the books to go through them carefully as to what requires deep study, and (B) they do not know what they really want or why they would have this or that want, which would include thinking they want something when actually they do not want it at all and will find themselves putting it off once it is in their hands.  Have you ever seen a faulty selection process at work in yourself through not knowing the difference between information and knowledge?

Here is a new challenge for you in this Note: How much do you believe that you need to be heavily indoctrinated in a line of thinking to be able to master it?  Also, how much do you require that a study or training course give you regular emotional arousal to keep up your interest, attention and commitment?  Try to answer these questions sincerely to yourself before you read the next note.   Can you think of any situations you have observed where teachers have imagined they know how to teach and students have imagined they know how to learn, but where both teachers and students believed in indoctrination, emotional arousal or both?

This note demands that you become more clear about how learning takes place in the Cosmic School of Notes before the next session.   Can you get this clarification?  Will you get it?
