1 John 2:27 · World English Bible
As for you, the anointing which you received from him remains in you, and you don’t need for anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is no lie, and even as it taught you, you will remain in him.
There is a knowing in you that does not come from information or from any teacher. It is the still awareness at your core, and when truth is spoken this knowing does not learn it so much as recognize it, the way you recognize your own face.
From the Ego v. Being reading below.

EGO & BEING
There is a knowing in you that does not come from information or from any teacher. It is the still awareness at your core, and when truth is spoken this knowing does not learn it so much as recognize it, the way you recognize your own face. Others can point you toward it, but the actual seeing always happens within you.
This is why no one can finally give you what you are looking for. The presence that abides in you already knows. When you grow quiet enough to feel it, you are no longer leaning on outside authority. You are letting the deepest part of yourself confirm what is true and what is merely noise.
ESOTERIC
A fine oil is secreted within the brain, and as it rises up the spine and bathes the higher centers it becomes the teacher no outside voice can be. This is the anointing that abides, the Christ oil pooling in the chamber of the head, and where it flows it opens direct knowing so instruction from without is no longer needed.
The oil itself teaches because it wakes the faculties that perceive truth firsthand. To abide in him is to stay under this inner anointing, letting the raised secretion keep the higher awareness lit from inside rather than seeking the light through another person.
Anointing, oil: the fine secretion of the brain, the Christ oil that rises up the spine and bathes the higher centers until it becomes the inner teacher
Ego v. Being lens
When I already know something inside, why do I keep waiting for someone else to confirm it?
If you meet a great teacher on the road and make them your authority, you have missed it. The one doing the seeking is the one you are seeking.
The fish trap exists for the fish, and once you have the fish you can forget the trap. Teachings work the same way.
What you are looking for has been looking out of your own eyes the whole time.
