If there is one implicit truth, existence functions by itself. No wonder school could never teach you about everything in life. In fact, probably did not teach you much for the long term.
Some key moments in life are actually decided by dropping all analysis and trusting the flow. Life is instinctual by nature. Even the process of learning math, happened as an instinct. Either a motivation of getting good grades or a future career, or a fascination for math that developed after a bit of exposure. It feels good to sound coherent, to have a meaningful cause and effect discussion, but that is all there is to it. When it comes to life, there is a huge hidden process that does its thing.
Our engine is not analytical. It is intuitive. It might use logical analysis when it is absolutely necessary. It knows, learns by itself. But fundamentally it is as instinctual as gravity itself. Even the words of wisdom from the Buddha himself, were churned out by an instinctual process. The words themselves are words. When the instinctual process is receptive to it, words go beyond words, and there is an energetic reception. But words themselves are not more than vehicles at the right time, right moment. Beyond that, you are staring at a vehicle.
