An Ancient Learning Passed Away

Let us be still an instant, and forget all things we ever learned, all thoughts
we had, and every preconception that we hold of what things mean and
what their purpose is. Let us remember not our own ideas of what the world
is for. We do not know. Let every image held of everyone be loosened from
our minds and swept away.

Be innocent of judgment, unaware of any thoughts of evil or of good that
ever crossed your mind of anyone. Now do you know him not. But you are
free to learn of him, and learn of him anew. Now is he born again to you,
and you are born again to him, without the past that sentenced him to die,
and you with him. Now is he free to live as you are free, because an ancient
learning passed away, and left a place for truth to be reborn.
