Teachers, Scientists, and philosophers thousands of years before this time in which we live had an appreciation for something about which most of us no longer have a clue, which is that facts are part of a process far more vast than simply the facts. The real purpose of study, of seeking after facts, is not in order that we can manipulate the world to our advantage, but it is rather that our own awareness can be transformed. And through this transformation our world is transformed. This, it seems, we have almost completely forgotten.
