I’m fussy about being instructed. I welcome the times that people tell me what they have experienced and what they have observed. This happens every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon when two professors share what they have observed about the world of vertebrate paleontology. They never instruct me about how to act or what to think. They tell me what they have learned.
I do not want to be instructed about how to experience anything. Tell me how you experience this or that, but do not tell me how to experience it. Share with me your experience. In that I welcome being instructed. Do not try to instruct me in how to experience anything. I will decide that myself.
