Every being who is born into this world is given a few things to know and to hold. These are simple, practical, and close at hand—easy to master, straightforward in their execution, and satisfying to behold.
The birds are given the knowledge of how to build their nests, how to sing, find food, find a mate, and raise their young. But there are other examples, including everything that grows and flowers and seeds itself for future generations. Even a raindrop comes with a tiny, built-in manual, an operator’s guide that sees it through all of its transformations, bringing it full circle and back to a beginning so that it can start its journey again.
Your people have likewise been given a few things to know and to hold, and from these all manner of human knowledge has been born. But not all knowledge is useful. Not all knowing is born from below. Not all powers of discernment are helpful to you or to the Earth, your home.
All true wisdom consists of settling, as the dust and rainfall settle after a storm, sinking deep into yourself to find that knowledge which is simple, useful, and true. You will know when you have found them because their number will be very few.
You are approaching a watershed for all of your people, for all of your kind. When you reach the limits of the knowledge that you have imposed on the world, the cosmos, and other living beings, including human beings, you will not be able to take one step further in your quest for knowledge, even if you tried.
When that moment comes—and it will come to each of you individually, and then to everyone all at once— you will know that the way forward lies down and inward. Only then will you seek the knowledge that cannot be acquired because you were born already knowing it. And I will be waiting there for you in that small, perfect library of the soul.
