Not everyone wants to become a successful person. What if I wanted to become one with the universe instead? The magic happens inbetween past and future, where life is just a memory. Consciousness is expanding now and then. As long as we insist on the parameters of rationality and learned thought structures, consciousness would always go on moving in circles and it would not evolve! When we let go of the old system, then something new can arise. It's a natural process of evolution and it always happens now and then. Learning rational knowledge isn't evolution, it's just collecting mental information which is already there. The true, spiritual evolution happens by unlearning, so a new intelligence can arise. This is true magic!
