The Living Force
So many times a person is an adventurer. In pursuit of an idea, or mode of thought. Be they correct or not, they develop a mindset of theories and knowledge that they cannot keep to themselves. Because as others come into contact with that adventurer, they become inspired to join in, collaborate and further the cause of this new mindset, if you will.. This initial adventurer is the group core, the mentor, adviser, teacher for lack of words. More research and information is coalesced to provide others with opportunity for them to become involved. This mindset flourishes into a community of like minded people. More and more continue to join in to participate within the individual common goals and good of the community. And the community reaches out to support the individual. Without each other, one is nothing. Just think of the sheer numbers of people that over time can become part of this growing community.
The body of information begins to build into a massive database. As more join, accumulating the sheer amount of data available becomes harder for the individual. Although many people search, items may be missed, items of information may not "sink in", or perhaps even the items may merely be ignored because "some" may consider redundant information. Some may even think searching on their own is not necessary. Oh, what diamonds and gems may be missed.!.!.!
And then eventually...
Some… Through studies and experience, begin to consider themselves as equals to those who began this movement. Some… Will even begin to think that they themselves have the same potential for knowledge as those who have been involved for years. These people may be blinded by group acceptance or position, but nevertheless will begin to think and act on their own. Assuming that what they do is for the good of the group. They take it upon themselves to assume they are knowledgeable enough, important enough, perhaps even self-authorized to perform actions that others could consider renegade. And when confronted with this renegade term, they in being puffed up, may still consider what they do as correct. And either pollute the group, or break off into another group. This can and does happen. I have seen this with mine own eyes. Can a student become more knowledgeable than the teacher? Yes. BUT… Always respect your teacher, and be thankful, for without that teacher you would still be ignorant. Do not forget the predators within us all and around us all. "They" do not want you to succeed...

controlling emotions. Both must be shoved aside in order to progress and learn.
