The Relationship between Love and Knowledge

[Razard86]

Sadhguru had a profound quote that I will share which will be the theme behind the relationship between Love and Knowledge. "You are either a Mystic or you're a mistake."

This is related to one of Leo's older videos that is called why all criticism is untenable.

Knowledge is based on the ability to perceive. Every source of stimulus reception, interpretation, and integration is filtered through your biases. Your ability to perceive is directly related to your ability to love. The more loving you are the less projections you will have and so your ability to not only receive stimulus, but also interpret it from different angles will increase. The more judgmental, and critical you are the less able you are to see and thus you limit your knowledge.

So what is projection? Projection is using memory, to form conclusions on what you are experiencing. Projection is rooted in fear, and we are usually walking around projecting our memory and thus not able to see or experience clearly what we are experiencing. This is why they say the key to knowledge and wisdom is saying "I don't know." It is why the ancient gurus say your cup needs to be "empty." 

Memory is not intelligence, it is just stored data. Logic uses data to map the world. But a map is static, and what it is mapping is alive, dynamic, every changing. If you hold onto the map too tightly...you will get lost. The map is just a guide, it is not the territory. This is where intuition comes in. Intuition is your ability to connect with all that is. You can only receive it....by dropping the blockages of your fear and trauma, and becoming empty. When you have no strong attachment to memory you symbolize the union of death and rebirth, when death and rebirth become one, you become undefined, unlimited, you become INFINITY your true self.
