 91. Knowledge (Big Bang of Creation) |
That is the basis of these descriptions, or these modes of comprehension. Ultimately, they are modes of non-comprehension, or only partial knowledge. These descriptions are not about Truth–neither the Truth of the human being nor the Truth of the universe. They may contain something true, relative to some details, but it is not the "whole story". They are both mortal metaphors–one a mortal metaphor of the human being, and the other a mortal metaphor of the absence of the full comprehension of conditional reality in all its dimensions.
. . . You cannot enclose Totality in thought. It is beyond you. You are subject to It–It is not subject to you. The complexity of All and all is immense beyond calculation, beyond measure. You do not measure It–It measures you. All your efforts of comprehension wind up being merely reflections of your own limited self.
–End of statement, F. Jones
Boundless compassion, and the profound understanding of nature are not the result of intellectual study, but the direct perception of the living reality.
"All I know now, is that I know nothing." -Socrates, i.e., now that I have attained the superior state of spiritual understanding, I know now that my intellectual knowing is nothing but a collection of concepts (conceptual knowledge).
