The Gong book

Well this book is really interesting. I liked the chinese story at the very beginning of the book. Just by understanding that story, it really sets to tone for the rest of the book. I think that this idea of exponential learning is very interesting. From what I have read in the book about it and also drawing on some of my own knowledge I would say that this idea of exponential learning will not happen while in this life. I think that it is a God-like quality that we should strive for but I dont think we can fully grasp it while in this life. I equate it to trying to become perfect like God is. We should try our absolute hardest to do so, and there may be times when we seem to be there, but in the long run we still fall short and make a lot of mistakes. I think that learning exponentially is going to be a life long thing to strive for and while some may seem to be close to attaining that ability I think in the end we will all have to wait for the resurrection before we truly can attain it.
