3 types of know

4 posts in this topic

i think it is useful to break 'know' into 3 types, eg take the topic of love

-i know about love

-i know the ins and outs of love

-i know love

first is explaining, second is experiencing, third is embodying

the mystics are saying set aside the explaining and experiencing in order to reside in the non dual state of embodying

in which knowing is ... being

i think this helps me understand what it means to know nothing

just sharing some thoughts i had today, namaste

@gettoefl Good insight.


"Not believing your own thoughts, you’re free from the primal desire: the thought that reality should be different than it is. You realise the wordless, the unthinkable. You understand that any mystery is only what you yourself have created. In fact, there’s no mystery. Everything is as clear as day. It’s simple, because there really isn’t anything. There’s only the story appearing now. And not even that.” — Byron Katie

Would you rather know, or would you rather be? Knowledge is the currency of the ego. It is voracious, the snake eating its own tail, and it never ends. It will never be satisfied. Just be.


Just because God loves you doesn't mean it is going to shape the cosmos to suit you. God loves you so much that it will shape you to suit the cosmos.
