Unlimited Knowledge
“To be conscious that you are ignorant is a great step to knowledge.”
~Benjamin Disreali (1804-1881), Sybil, 1845
How much do we truly know about science? I love the sciences, mainly physics and some psuedo-sciences. For no other reason but pure awe and wonderment. I am no Einstein, but I try to teach myself in all fields, I try to understand. Sometimes I wonder…Have we created or given names to these “things”, do they truly exist in the form that we perceive? Have we defined our reality and demystified life? Is this what we were meant to do?
I personally think knowledge is the key to life, but what sort of knowledge? Have we created light, yes and no. Have we created fire and power, yes and no. Are we capable of creating life, yes and no. Are we capable of creating death, yes and no. Have we become God? Yes and no.
Now separate these questions and define them.
Is it DNA or is it something we have discovered and named. If God were to come down and say,”No…you’ve got it all wrong”, Would you believe? I wonder…how many things we have created from some other larger canvas? What have we here but a fragment of a larger portrait. I don’t know…but that is why we are here…to learn.
Powerful questions to analyze. The answers could be defined as yes according to our definitions and our languages. But most definitely no, according to our general “Knowledge”… it is like the chicken and the egg…which came first?
Puzzles upon puzzles, stacked blocks of knowledge ready to be glued forever in human history…one catch, there is and never will be a definitive answer. We have molded our minds and preconditioned ourselves for the “truth”. Yet, I see and know no truths. Perhaps one day we will hold The Book of Life with all answers, perhaps one day we will glimpse the truth… reality… perhaps one day.
Thank you for the wonderful quote and the hearty article on knowledge. Personally I think that life giving knowledge is our ability to listen to other. It is not the sharing of our concepts but the hearing of other that makes our knowledge the key to omnipotence of love.
(((tomas))) always a pleasure my friend! thank you for sharing your words here. they always radiate a new kind of light each and every time
Knowledge has always been a yes and no thing. I tried to understand too. And I wonder all the time. Knowledge is what we interpret it to be. I too, pray I will know the answer ~ not in this lifetime, never as a human.
(((glaize))) then know you shall… for it is with you for eternity, waiting
We have learned so much that perhaps what we have learned is ingrained into our very DNA. Perhaps all we have learned is false. Perhaps.
(((Cordie))) perhaps indeed
“Perhaps one day we will hold The Book of Life with all answers, perhaps one day we will glimpse the truth… reality… perhaps one day.”
Hopefully.
(((Leafless))) I do too… yet… I hear something… a whisper… it is our hope… reassured
“Perhaps one day we will hold The Book of Life with all answers, perhaps one day we will glimpse the truth… reality… perhaps one day.”
Out of left field the one day when we hold the book of life is when we just are, we just be, we are without labels, without names for objects, we just accept all as it is for what it is… weird? possibly but I have come to terms with my insanity lol
How are you doing?
~sanity~ I am doing fine… the same as always… blessed to see your light and presence… thank you… perhaps your insanity os my sanity… weird? never… thank you
