Learning from the shoe box of experiences
In the "office world," we learn through books, classes, second hand "authoritative" teachings… We believe that those "teachings" are true. We label them as "truth" and want for others to follow them to support our desire to be "right" in Life. We presume that we have the "right answer," we make our "morality" on those assumptions. We may believe that "God is with us," and that we are part of his "chosen people," ready for Paradise and everlasting Life …
Those "teachings" for whatever holy they may be, cannot match the uncertainties and ever changing possibilities in Life. What is "real" cannot be relegated into a shoe box full of code of conduct, commandments and laws.
Have we observed that in Nature? Have we observed that in Life?
In Nature/Life, morality does not exist. In the "office world" it exists as a façade for an ulterior purpose: Whether that is to gain heaven, to support our belief to be "special" or "rightful" among the rest or some other "reason."
In Nature/Life, questions do not exist. Humans prisoners of their own minds, have twisted good old curiosity into the frenzy of asking "why?" out of everything, as if an intellectual verbal answer is enough.
Curiosity does not ask "why." Curiosity observes with appreciation the uniqueness of Life. It is through that acknowledgement how everything is answered without asking a single question; for every answer comes at the right time. It is the knowing of learning through our own experiences.
Humans have coined the phrase: "Learn from your own mistakes." That is insane.
When we separate our experiences in Life between "mistakes" and what is "right," we forsake the opportunity to live fully in Life in exchange of some comfortable fear, designed to live within the boundaries of the shoe box offered by our society through our conditioned mind.
That is how we come up with the popular "Do's and Don'ts." We preserve those by enforcing them into the younger generations, effectively narrowing down the shoe box for others. At the end, it is about preserving what we discovered to be "right or wrong," that is how the "I" of many dead people from many centuries ago, still live among us. We call that "traditions."
Learn from your experiences. That learning only applies to your own path. However, what is to share to all, is to BE the type of person that is ever curious to discover Life, beyond the shoe box.
That type of invaluable teaching cannot be put into words or a "master class." That "teaching" spreads through the winds of warm human relationships.
Nothing to teach, nothing to say. Just BE.
Those winds of relationship, have the potential of turning into Hurricanes and positively affecting many, without a business plan, special funding or a proselytizing effort.
What is natural is "good." What is "good" is what IS.

It is not for me to take away, but for you to give it up.
I asked God to make my handicapped child whole.
God said, No.
