Although we study and train with great effort
there is nothing to give or receive,
and knowledge just gets in our way.
Practice intimacy--seeing, hearing,
and feeling with the whole body and mind.
When we are intimate with our lives,
we can discover enlightenment for ourselves--
beyond our ideas, theories
and so-called "knowledge." My view.......

Knowledge is a summary of our history. Don't get stuck in history. Let go of the tethers of knowledge. Until you let go of the tethers, you cannot discover life......

Just a thought....

Hulu - House: Ignorance Is Bliss - Watch the full episode now. (https://www.hulu.com/watch/109441/house-ignorance-is-bliss#s-p1-so-i0)

Summary

On the eve of Thanksgiving, House and the team take on the case of James Sidas, an exceptionally brilliant physicist and author who traded his successful career for a job as a courier. For the ailing patient, intelligence is a miserable burden that has prompted depression and addiction, and this, coupled with a myriad of strange symptoms, nearly stumps the team. Meanwhile the doctors at Princeton Plainboro wrestle with strained personal relationships.Source: foxflash.com
