Sutra 1.7: rays of consciousness

Sutra 1.7, begins to explore the rays of consciouness. Knowledge embraces personal experience, inference and insights from the wise. We interpret everything by how we
process our personal experiences. How do we react in a given situation? Can we see what we need to see clearly? Are our experiences clouded by emotions rather than reason? I have found when I am able to step back from situations, and resist an instant reaction, I tend to form more insightful knowledge and the ability to meet the person or situation in a more authentic manner. Even if I do have a personal experience to draw on, I want to see my growth and my ability to be flexible with where I am at at any given time. So incorporating wisdom and insight becomes a large part of this ray, knowledge.
