Thinking about Meditation

How important is it that we feel directly the knowledge imparted to us? Vital! How can we know something truly, without experiencing it? All of the philosophy in the world may not help us, if we do not first stop to listen(Bare attention) to our very essence of mind and body. Is that why so many western philosophers seem to have gotten lost inside their own heads? This is just a quick question, and a reflection. Please, share your thoughts.

I read one time that we acquire ALL knowledge on "the other side". We come into the Earth School to acquire experience to cement that knowledge into our souls. In turn that experience/knowledge is what advances our souls on the ever upward spiral back to Source.
