Education is trying to reach within ourselves for what we already intuitively understand. That we can look inside ourselves to learn about life. Embedded deep in our consciousness is the knowledge about the purpose of creation, how to love, how to reach our potential. It's all there. This lesson sums up Judaism's view of education.
Nobody can teach anyone anything new.
All it takes is effort. I can't possibly answer that question without a definition of bafoostik. And unless you can clearly articulate a concept, you don't fully understand it. When we uncover knowledge that jives with what the angel taught us, then we've found truth. In your quest for truth, you don't have to journey to the Far East or climb to the peak of a mountain.
