“There is a wisdom that is difficult to reclaim because it lies hidden in unexpected places. But I know where such wisdom lies. I remember the places you hid it for yourself to find in future times. The time is fast approaching that you will need to recover all that you have lost, cast off, misplaced, or simply forgotten.
“Little of what you know at present will serve you on the path ahead. But those things which are essential you will be able to find close at hand. If a person says, “You must make a difficult journey to find this wisdom you have lost,” know that the difficulty does not lie in whatever travel might be required, but rather in the sincere seeking and questing to find those treasures that lie hidden all about you.
“Do not follow what is bright. Seek not that which is dear, costly, precious, or rare.
“Your quest can be likened to the squirrel who has buried an acorn and only needs to remember where it may be found.”
