Clarity as the enemy is that you think you know, real clarity sees that your knowledge is expanding on how to make use of energy. Later on you will know much more than you do now, and yet you think you know.
Agree, it's like, first you learn a lot and you gain knowledge and you collect information and think you know so much. But then you realize later, the more you learn, the more you have to learn, so really you know nothing. At the same time, everything is always changing, so what you think you know one minute, changes the very next minute.
Quote for ya:
Once a man has vanquished fear, he is free from it for the rest of his life because, instead of fear, he has acquired clarity – a clarity of mind which erases fear. By then a man knows his desires; he knows how to satisfy those desires. He can anticipate the new steps of learning, and a sharp clarity surrounds everything. The man feels nothing is concealed.
“And thus he has encountered his second enemy: Clarity!
That clarity of mind, which is so hard to obtain, dispels fear, but also blinds.
“
It forces the man never to doubt himself. It gives him the assurance he can do anything he pleases, for he sees clearly into everything. And he is courageous because he is clear, and he stops at nothing because he is clear. But all that is a mistake; it is like something incomplete.
If the man yields to this make-believe power, he has succumbed to his second enemy and will fumble with learning. He will rush when he should be patient, or he will be patient when he should rush. And he will fumble with learning until he winds up incapable of learning anything more."
