If we have just caught wind of a topic or teacher(s), why do we feel we have to pretend to know them well? All of our comments and posts everywhere – and our sheer lack of real understanding – prove otherwise!
Why can’t we let our followers know we’re brand new at the topic and DON’T KNOW the background, the subtleties, the training of the topic when we’re not committed to it enough to dig in and prove it? Why do we want to spoil it for everyone else who has grown to trust us? They need nothing but the truth.
When we have a golden opportunity to act as a model student for others, why don’t we have the courage to do just that? We could be such a tremendous blessing – a true help to others who are beginning – if we would only stop pretending.
Time alone doesn’t give us the right that honest studying and honest applying alone can afford.
