Thoughts to ponder.
There's the program and then there's the programming. One is the transition the the other is transmission. One brings one to another point beyond the transmission and the other leaves one with the teaching and without the knowledge of being taught. ~Zencat.

Maybe its like this
The Four Reliances
First, rely on the spirit and meaning of the teachings,
not on the words;
Second, rely on the teachings,
not on the personality of the teacher;
Third, rely on real wisdom,
not superficial interpretation;
And fourth, rely on the essence of your pure Wisdom Mind,
not on judgmental perceptions.-- Traditional Buddhist teaching
Maybe its not?
If you cannot find the truth right where you are, where else do you expect to find it?
