Some ideas must first be conceived before they can be understood; lived before their origins can finally be grasped. Therefore, if one’s first encounter with them is through the written word, misunderstanding is inevitable. When, however, the opposite occurs, it is curious to note that an idea, even if already conceived and experienced firsthand, can remain hidden in the mind, without manifesting itself, as if it had not yet been properly assimilated. Then comes contact with its precise and detailed written exposition. The mind is enlightened; it grasps the meaning and the motivation. And it realizes that, without prior experience, it could never have understood it.
