Playing the Role of the Openminded Person or the Non-Committal Regarding Beliefs

4 posts in this topic

Is there a sense in which the agnostic regarding beliefs forces reality into that paradigm -- the agnostic paradigm -- thereby attempting to control reality?  Is this a fault?  And if so, in what sense?  Roles are ideologies, are they not?  

This is a gnarly trap eh?  How do we work with this skeptical paradigm to get it right?  There's some good in it, we can all agree.

---------------------

Is trying not to play any roles playing a role too, and thereby trying to control reality?  This is kind of an interesting insight.

Video for some background theory if you need it:

This video from Emerald propose an antidote to clinging to paradigms.  She calls this kind of more flexible knowing "wisdom".  Check it out.  Test it out in reality too.  See how paradigms and wisdom can merge in the flux and chaos of the moment.

Is it a deception? Or is it true? This is the game of gaining wisdom.

OUR FAITH IN UNCHANGING WISDOM AKA CONCEPTUAL-KNOWLEDGE IS CAUSED BY A BELIEF THAT WE'RE CLINGING TO AND PROBABLY NOT FULLY CONSCIOUS OF YET

The paradigm and project of knowledge aka conceptual-knowing is an attempt to gain unchanging wisdom.  This is a paradigm and project -- and we can go Meta and examine it once we realize that.  Knowledge is a habit, it's not a necessary condition for existence or a necessary element of reality.  The assumption that conceptual-knowing can constitute unchanging wisdom is a BELIEF.  This is a deep insight, grok it!
