Chapter 6: Experience is the Best Teacher

Some of us, if not most of us, learn better via hands on / visual experience. You can pour thousands of words and instructions into their heads and call it teaching them, but until their senses are engaged (seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, touching) they aren’t learning the information. For them to be taught it would have to be put into a relatable series of events or instructions that will engage the sense allowing to store the learned information with relatable sensory response. Example – Do not touch fire. It will burn you. In order for a person to understand “burn” and why they would not want to be “burned” they will have to be able to relate “burn” to pain, searing pain that goes beyond skin deep. Pain that lasts days upon days, and even gets worse by touching it. They would have to understand heat and it’s effects on skin; how it feels. All these relatable sensory reactions and feelings are assigned to the word burn in order to give you the wisdom and knowledge of fire.

Otherwise until you are able to relate those words to senses, you are more than likely going to have to experience getting burned before you are able to comprehend what it is.

Cursed is the ground for thy sake.” “Thorns and thistles shall it bring forth to thee.

Basically the earth will teach you by your choices those things that I can not. You will see it, you will feel it, you will experience it. Through this you will learn and gain wisdom, experience and knowledge, and know how to teach your children that which you have learned. You will understand that all that the father has made and done is good and for the benefit of the son.
