    Dear Rawn,

    Bardon mentioned that there was a difference between knowledge
    gained from reading or of studying transferred knowledge and
    knowledge gained from experience, and that only the second type was
    true possessed knowledge eventhough both are factually accurate.

    I'm interested to know the history of magic and of real human
    history (Bardon claims that Atlantis was real and there is a much
    older human history.) but I don't know if there are many good
    sources out there and I really wouldn't know which are the accurate
    sources and which aren't.
