Learning of all kinds goes on best, lasts best, and tends to lead itself on more when it grows out of a real focus of interest in the learner.

Am I living in a way which is deeply satisfying to me, and which truly expresses me?

The purpose of adult education is to help them to learn, not to teach them all you know and thus stop them from learning.

As no one else can know how we perceive, we are the best experts on ourselves.

To be original, or different, is felt to be "dangerous."

The paradigm of Western culture is that the essence of persons is dangerous; thus, they must be taught, guided, and controlled by those with superior authority.

A second characteristic of the process which for me is the good life, is that it involves an increasingly tendency to live fully in each moment. I believe it would be evident that for the person who was fully open to his new experience, completely without defensiveness, each moment would be new.
