I know nothing
The more I know, the more I know: I know nothing LOL.... scary but so freeing.
What is knowledge other than a whole bunch of concepts, information, beliefs? Do we need these in order to be? Who would we be if we had no beliefs?

The First Realization of any importance is ........ a Realization of our limited beliefs.

Hello,
The way I am looking at what is being presented in the OP is this.
Without knowledge how does one come to discover what one does not know?
Yes, the more I learn, the more I realize how much I don't know.
Seems, for me, to be an on going process. Will have certain beliefs, which may change or be discarded, while others may transform into what I find to be true. Nothing, IMO, is necessarily absolute.
Life to me is an on going process of learning and expanding ones understanding. I feel this is found through knowledge. Whether discovering things through research or exploring or through just observing.
One gains in ones awareness through this.
Peace

I agree with you moonglow, but why acquire knowledge if in the end you can't take it with.

Hi Shabby,
The way I see it is that right now, right here I am living this life. Part of living this life is learning, so that I may to the best I can live this life.
Learning makes things interesting. If I didn't learn, I feel, would just exist or be taken out fairly quickly. 
Don't know if what I learn is not taken with me. For if mind, body, and spirit are one and working in unity, then it does have me wonder, at times, how much of this is blended into the consciousness of the whole.
It may be knowledge is for the living of this life one is given here. Through this one grows in understanding, not only oneself, but others as well.
It is how I am looking at it at this time.
Peace |

I think it was Gandhi who said that the moment anyone makes a spiritual stride, the whole world does. |

Hey Gods.
No I don't believe one can know one self as knowledge. I feel that when Jesus said Know thy Self he meant "knowing". This kind of "knowing" is not experienced or felt. It's a knowing that you are "It". Any thing "of it" would be knowledge.
If I said I am Vivian Amis, 50 years old, have 4 kids and a grand son, a teacher of spiritrual consciousness and the author of The Essentials of life then I would have identified my self with being my name, my age, my parentship, my passion, my work and so on. Since all of these things are subject to change...I can not be any of these things. Who am I...I truly don't know because who I am can not be known in terms of knowledge as all knowledge is of the mind. And I am not the mind LOL. |
