Reading the book, recipe or directions is always important and gives valuable information. The true lesson, however, is learned through the experience.

First Part

“First part of the climb wasn’t so bad. But now I’m starting to think there are some things you can’t master just by memorizing the book.” - Blue Bolt *

Paul Freemont as a kid was abandoned by his father and raised by his mother. He always wondered what happened to his father. At the age sixteen he decided to find his father. Through a series of events and detective work he found his father on top of a mountain hiding. Turns out his father is the hero Captain Thunder and accidentally lost control. The government was hunting Captain Thunder. Mike Freemont, Captain Thunder, hid away from family and friends on the top of Mount Walakima. Soon the mountain spirits that gave Captain Thunder his power soon gave Paul Freemont the same power. Captain Thunder and Blue Bolt would soon become a father and son superhero team, rebuilding their lost relationship.

It is always good to learn new things. Lessons should always learn with reading about the topic and looking at pictures. Talking about the lessons is a good idea. However, the true lessons will not come until that learned information is use. Let’s look at making a quiche. The recipe gives the ingredients, oven temperature and cooking times. It is through experience of doing the task that we learn that oven is different. Also, we learn to pre-cook the crust, beat the eggs in a chilled metal bowl then toss together the cheese and other ingredients before placing them in the crust with the eggs. We can read volumes on meditation and its benefits but it is not until we spend time actually meditating that we see and feel the experience.
