It is not so hard.

I have heard people say that they don't read the Bible regularly because it is too hard for them to understand.  Is it really too hard.  "Now what I am commanding you today is not too difficult for you or beyond your reach.  It is not up in heaven, so that you have to ask, “Who will ascend into heaven to get it and proclaim it to us so we may obey it?”  Nor is it beyond the sea, so that you have to ask, “Who will cross the sea to get it and proclaim it to us so we may obey it?”  No, the word is very near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart so you may obey it."  Deuteronomy 30:11 - 14
Did you notice what Moses told the people?  It is not too hard.  You don't need a priest or a pope to explain it to you.  You can understand it yourself.  It is near you.  It is in your mouth, that is, you are to talk about the Word with one another.  It is in your heart.  That is you need to read, memorize and meditate on the Word.  The reason most people have difficult understanding the Word is that they don't want to be obedient to it. 
You don't need to go to a particular place.  The understanding of the Word is not based upon experience but upon obedience.
