Look at the context. This phrase was used to answer Daniel's statement.
Monk: "You think the child is safe with you?"
Daniel: "Yes, absolutely."
Look at the 'If'. If you immediately know the candlelight is fire, then the meal was cooked a long time ago.
The first part refers to belief. It's common sense that light from a candle is because of a flame. It refers to something you believe so strongly you take as fact.
Then the meal was cooked a long time ago. If the meal has already been cooked, what can you do? Nothing. It's in the past; you can't change it. The reference to cooking is about setting something in stone, or making it very hard to change.
If you immediately know the candlelight is fire, then the meal was cooked a long time ago.
If you're so sure about what you believe, then there is little that can be done to change your mind.
Besides, thought a candle burns in my house, there's nobody home.

when it was originally said the previous statement was something along saying that Jackson was missing something because it was obvious to me it seemed to mean "if you look for something specific you'll miss what you don't expect" thats why jackson doesn't realize oma didn't want him to take the boy

If you recognize and understand a concept (i.e. fire) outside of the context from which you originally learned it, you've taken an important step in enlightenment, and the process of understanding had to have started a long time ago.sigpic

Okkkkkkkkkkkk
I have thought about this over and over and although I do have a few theories about what Oma Desala meant by this i'm not totally convincing myself.
Does anyone else have any thoughts on what Oma meant by this or what she was trying to get Daniel to think about when she said this?

i've always taken the meaning to be: Once you come to a realization about about something, it's been that way the whole time.
example: at some point some one realized that the Earth was round not flat, then realized, it's always been that way.if you see a light at the end of the tunnel, it's just a photon torpedo.

It also means, if you know your feet are wet, then there is water in your glass.

if you jump to a conclusion, and you are unwilling to open your mind to other possibilities then you will never be able to learn the true nature of things or new things in general.
basically.. since you have already made up your mind, you are done learning.
or,
you can't teach an old dog new tricks.
if that is not simple enough then lest put it another way...
it went over your head.
