Then, as we continue to grow, we remain dependent upon the authorities around us to learn the facts, knowledge and values which we will need in our later adaptation. We are always con-

When some one says something that is meaningful to you, they have touched something within you and brought it to light for you. They have only revealed something that you already know deep inside, but now know on the outside. This is not plagiariam; it is the recovery of your own inner knowledge and wisdom.

For the most part, we are presented with the rules and regulations in what seems like a dogmatic, authoritarian way, largely because they were learned by our teachers through their own experience, and experience is one thing that cannot be transmitted. We may or may not be given reasons for the rules, but even if we are, the need to conform in a particular manner is not very often based upon our own experience and, as far as we are concerned, it is all hearsay.

We have very little difficulty accepting the lessons gained from our own experience. No one goes around touching hot stoves once they have burned themselves on one. But we do have a hard time with some of the lessons they hand us where we cannot understand how the gratification of a seemingly harmless impulse can lead to serious consequences. Certainly, the way wo are taught these things is a most important factor in our own growth and stability. Where dire consequences are constantly thrown at us just to control our behavior and impulses, we tend to grow up in great fear of all consequences, and thus are unable to meet and cope with even ordinary everyday problems, of living.

So, as we grow up, most of the motivation for our behavior, and the source of a great many of our attitudes, comes from some-
