How to break duality between a priori and a posteriori knowledge?

How to break the duality between a priori and a posteriori knowledge?

[Moksha]

True knowledge is direct and timeless. A priori and a posteriori knowledge only relate to the relative.

I forgot to mention above: That above duality is big in the western philosophy. Non dual teachers say that all dualities break…Hey, maybe above duality is unbreakable…maybe not…

Forget what teachers say, regardless of their conceptual framework (Nondual, Christian, whatever), and look inside yourself for the answer.

Sorry if it sounds cryptic, but the absolute within already realizes the answer to your question, if only the mind will stop grappling with it.

Ahem... Do you mind providing ONE example of a non-duality teacher saying that ALL dualities must break? As far as I'm aware, the only duality they ever speak about is subject-object duality (the illusion of an observer perceiving the phenomena that are separate from him).

Nothing is known a prior. Nothing.

Study the philosophy of Quine, perhaps, he breaks that duality. But he tends to say that every knowledge is a posteriori. But I'm, in my thought, tending to put a twist on Quine's model and say, "what if every knowledge actually is a priori?" "What if there is no out there?"

I've been struggling with this notion for some time. Because talking from a Stage Yellow perspective, every human is born with DNA that carries info, instincts, knowledge. For example innate reflexes. And what about the fact that life is remembering who you are? Your subconscious, which the deeper you go the more universal and symbolic it becomes, is connected with many info which you have since you are born, but simply have not retrieved.

In a metaphysical sense, I dunno either, because you are God who simply forgot, but you know.

Taking insights from Derrida's philosophy, a prior knowledge becomes questionable...

Why is that the case?

Birth is a position of total ignorance, the opposite of Omniscience.

You were born so ignorant that it took you a long time just to realize you were ignorant. And most people still haven't realized that.

If you think back to how your earliest life experiences were, you knew nothing.

SAT measures certain narrow verbal and math skills. If you want those skills you can develop them. But there are much more important skills to develop so don't waste your time jumping through silly hoops like a dog.
