And how would someone like me progress along a path of better understanding?
I have experience, teachers, those who guide and advise me, books, observations, contemplation, a good brain, some interesting memories and more to account for my current level of understanding. Many things contributed. Nobody is an island, and nobody is just one thing, or the result of just one thing.
Progressing along the path to better, deeper and higher levels of understanding is done as you might expect. Seek out sources of knowledge and wisdom. Seek out useful experiences. But first and most importantly, seek out how to know what is true, vs what is misunderstood, vs what is partially true, vs what is wholly untrue vs. what is intended to mislead through partial or whole untruth. That is the most difficult and important part of your journey. Discerning the truth.
Remember that there is only one living being in the entirety of existence, and with that knowledge, treat that being well. Be kind, understanding, loving, forgiving and wise. Seek to make this world a better place when you leave it than when you arrived. Attune yourself to love and positive energy. That will attract to you what and who you need to advance. When you are lost, ask for guidance. When you are experiencing abundance, use your abundance to make the world better. Teach the hungry man to fish instead of giving him a fish. Empower yourself and others. Resist the urge to pettiness and selfishness. See money for what it really is. Understand greed, fear and hate. Know how to heal and neutralize them. Do so. Heal and forgive yourself, that you may know how to heal and forgive others. Be patient with those who refuse your help. Be patient with yourself. Allow yourself to make mistakes, but always learn from and improve from your mistakes, and never make them again. Be the change you wish to see in the world. Be as water when necessary, and as granite when necessary. Contemplate your self, know yourself, master yourself. Pass on what you understand, and help others advance. Teaching is the best way to learn. And attune yourself to what you seek and what you wish to experience.
Hopefully, this gives you some wind at your back.
