  • True Knowledge – Knowledge of the True

    True_knowledgeWhat is True Knowledge?

    If you use Google ranking to help you understand what’s what – true knowledge is a pioneer in a new class of Internet search technology…

    Well, that’s not the type of true knowledge we’re talking about here. The problem with topics like true knowledge is everyone has their beliefs, ideas and thoughts about it. These are mostly subjective, based on limited or ordinary knowledge, and little or no connection to the realm of objective reality.

    Well, I’ve put my foot in it now! Objective Reality – another concept that everyone has ideas and beliefs about!

    I guess the simplest way out of this conundrum of true knowledge is that it is possible to know what is true – whether that knowing is in the relative world of knowledge or in the objective world of reality.

    Objective reality would be what you perceive when the ego/subjective I is transparent to reality as IT IS – nothing filtered through the past – no reification.

    True Knowledge can be perceived, known and felt. It can guide our lives and reveal the path to optimal living and being. The first step seems to be the same as many first steps on many journeys – from knowing into not-knowing.

    Not Knowing is fertile ground for knowledge.

  • I Am NOT Knowing

    not knowing

    Most of us think we do, but most of what we think is only the surface layer of deeper desires, motivations and longings. Exploring what underlies our desire for money, fame, love, peace, happiness eventually leads us back to our deepest longing – to be real, to be authentic, to be our deepest nature.

    When attended to, every action, every interaction, every thought, feeling or sensation can lead us deeper into more intimate knowing of the real. This type of knowing has a very interesting side-effect – it frees us from the habitual, compulsive NEED-to-KNOW that drives most mental activity.

    This attending is not grasping for knowledge or definition. It is more a curiosity – the best image I have is that of a dog with it’s head cocked to the side and it’s ear raised. I often find my heart, mind and soul embodying that quizzical nature.
