A lot of our beliefs are for consolation, and to avoid freedom which is in fact quite terrifying. It is easier to be a member of 'an agreement of being' than to understand what Alan Watts meant by the title of his 'Wisdom of Insecurity'.

knowledge?" That you will have to find out all by yourself. You must accept
the fact that there is in help but self-help. For the same reason I cannot tell
you how to "gain" freedom, since freedom exists within you. I cannot
tell you what 'not' to do, I cannot tell you what you 'should' do, since that
would be confining you to a particular approach. Formulas can only inhibit
freedom, externally dictated prescriptions only squelch creativity and assure
mediocrity. Bear in mind that the freedom that occurs from self-knowledge cannot
be acquired through strict adherence to a formula; we do not suddenly
"become" free, we simply "are" free.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.teamkaratecenters.com/articles/liberation.htm">Instead of learning to depend on themselves for expression, they
blindly follow their instructors, no longer feeling alone, and finding security
in mass imitation. The product of this imitation is a dependent mind.
Independent inquiry, which is essential to genuine understanding, is sacrificed</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/D3F589A2-7CDD-4CE5-A85F-C1A101A5E2C2/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
