“The gathering of thoughts from teachers and books, building them into the conscious nature of ones being, is to establish a false understanding which is largely hypnotic. The mere making over of one’s consciousness according to the thoughts evolved by another’s mind is to impose a false condition on the individual. Instruction received from without must be taken into the mentality and assimilated, analyzed, checked with the deepest facts of one’s own inner nature in order to determine if it be true to the Self.”
