Touch the source.}} Your mind can take in endless pearls of wisdom, and your mouth can repeat them, but until you have essential experience — you only have noise. Talking and listening are nothing without understanding. {{We only truly understand what we experience.}} When people have understanding they tend to be quieter and seek quietness. {{Consider the possibility that many of the things you hear and say are utter nonsense and meaningless repetitions of noise.}} Cut it all out. Quit getting your information second hand. Take any concept, lesson, story, book, quote or conversation and look for a way to touch its source of origin — which is always through direct experience alone. **Source:** [[books/Simple Reminders Book (2014-2018)|Simple Reminders]] <!-- bryant-content-generator:end -->
