There is a difference between memorized knowledge and an insight.
Memorized
knowledge comes from without, insight comes from within. You can read a
book and by the time you're finished forget most of what you've read. You can
go to school where you're forced to memorize tons of information on different
subjects only to discover years later that you don't remember any of it or very
little. You will remember that which you experience. In some cultures there is a
saying that you don't really know something until you have it "in your muscles" -
I may more often use terms "in your blood", "in your neurology", "in your energy
field". Until you experience something you may only guess what it may be like,
but you don't really know, you don't really understand (you may have intellectual
or theoretical understanding - but intellectual understanding is not "real
knowingness").
The quality and the feeling you experience when
you access the knowledge
from your Inner Wisdom is very different than the quality and feeling you
experience from accumulating intellectual information from the outside.
It feels more "real" than anything you have ever
experienced from the outside,
it feels more "solid", and you "know" that it is the truth - not based upon
someone's belief system, but the pure, pristine, crystal clear, solid, unshakeable
"truth" - the entire world may try to disassemble it, pull it apart or change your
mind, but no one would be able to shake the solid ground from which it
emerged. You'll never be confused again or wonder which way to go or
what shall you do - you'll know beyond any doubt. When you do
experience the Light, all experiences in the outer world you ever had will
entirely fade in comparison. Light is information. When your whole mind is flooded with the Light,
all the mysteries (that which seems hidden from your awareness) become
revealed to you - it's just like turning on the light switch in a dark
room.
