I abstain from such information, in general.
I've actually become quite good at it and it has helped me learn immensely. I now learn on my own, forming my own opinions by my own power. I am my own. It hurts my head, daily, but I am willing to pay such a price. I would even except death for the Absolute Truth.
'The goal to be reached is the mind's insight into what knowing is. Impatience asks for the impossible, wants to reach the goal without the means of getting there. The length of the journey has to be borne with, for every moment is necessary, ... because by nothing less could that all-pervading mind ever manage to become conscious of what itself is — for that reason, the individual mind, in the nature of the case, cannot expect by less toil to grasp what its own substance contains'.
