Some degree of inner development might be necessary just to gain the vocabulary and understand some of the basic concepts, in order to go deeper. Imagine yourself trying to write a book that teaches people how to ride a bicycle. You could write page and page, but your student won’t know how to ride a bicycle until she actually gets on the bike and tries it. I invite you to get on the bike and push off.
