   Knowing Ummmmmmm,   
   and how he writes, when he says what he says   
   he is referring to his own experience that he generalizes   
   to include what may appear to be others, anyone, someone, but   
   what he really means is himself.   
      
   He needed a living Master and she unlocked his secret place.   
   She had the key. And so that is how it be. For him.   
      
   When he says, living Knowledge ... can only be transmitted by a   
   living Master to a living student, he means, in the past.   
      
   That's what happened to him.   
      
   I know this living Knowledge because I asked,   
   while walking with Zz and Huizi along the River Hao,   
   by the dam, where the fish swam and they swam   
   but never went over the dam.   
      
   And that's absolutely right.   
   And I know you know and he knows.   
      
   It goes without saying.
