  2. Excerpt from my #journal today... 👉🏼 Live the truth. The only way to truly comprehend the truth is to live it.

    The only way to truly comprehend any truth is to live it. Even then, we're susceptible to blind spots.

    Perhaps true comprehension is when we can view, understand, and process any #truth on all three levels.

    Third-hand: reading, #intellectual understanding
    Second-hand: observation, #empirical understanding
    First-hand: living, #experiential understanding

    Most of us are content with intellectual, third-hand understanding. We go to school, we read books, we learn from teachers.

    Scientists take it one step further. We conduct experiments and observe the results. Still, there's an objectivity there that stands in the way of the deepest understanding.

    That's where travelers, #lovers, astronauts, #explorers, and #psychonauts come in. We strive to live our knowledge. We live to experience the insights we've gleaned from other means.

    We want to #embody our truth.

    🙏🏼 Thank you for sharing this moment with me! What do you think?
