billy's basic detachment practice

[Billy]

My first mentor, 'accused' that "I stole like a thief."  I took what I learned and made it my own.  There are two parts to this I'll mention: 

First, I have a built in certitude that no rope ties me to the source of learning.  Knowledge gained is mine alone; it cannot be reclaimed.  The point of knowledge is freedom. 

Second, knowledge without certitude that it is WHOLLY your own (not fully integrated) is not knowledge.
