"In life, there appear to be those who do not know, and who do not know that they do not know. There are as children. Nurture them.
Then there appear to be those who do not know, who who know that they do not know. They are willing. Teach them.
Then there appear to be those who do not know, but who think that they know. They are dangerous. Avoid them.
Then there appear to be those who know, but who do not know that they know. They are asleep. Wake them.
Then there appear to be those who know, but pretend that they do not know. They are actors. Enjoy them.
Then there appear to be those who know, and who know that they know. Do not follow them. For if they know that they know, they would not have your follow them Yet listen very carefully to what they have to say, for they will remind you of what you know. Indeed, that is why they have been sent to you. That is why you have called them to you."
(Taken from Neale D. Walsch's book "Friendship With God" page #289...)
I highly recommend all of his books! His "Conversations With God" Series are awesome!
