 92. Knowledge (True vs False) |
IMPERFECT KNOWLEDGE IS FALSE KNOWLEDGE
Humankind has always sought to control “what” otherwise appears (or is presumed) to control “it”.
Thus, to achieve control of the apparent (or presumed) “controller”, an effort is always made to capture “it”. The “method” of capture (or control of the “controller”) is an activity in either exoteric (or “exterior”) or esoteric (or “interior”) space.
The achievement of capture (or control of the “controller”) is to centrally “locate” (or surround and contain) “what” (otherwise) surrounds (or contains, and, thus, controls) either the collective or the individual ego-“self” (or the operative perceptual and conceptual “point of view”). “What” is apparently (or presumed to be) controlling the ego-“self” (or the “point of view”) is able to thus control the ego-“self” (or the “point of view”) because “it” is apparently (or presumed to be) either perceptually or conceptually “outside” (and, thus, surrounding and containing) the ego-“self” (or the “point of view”).
Therefore, in order to control the apparent (or presumed) “controller”, an effort is made to place the apparent (or presumed) “controller” at the “center” (or with, or even within, the ego-“self”, or immediately at the “point of view”)— and, thus and thereby, to surround and contain the “controller” with the ego- “self” (or the “point of view”).
The “method” applied in order to surround and contain (or to center, and, thereby, control) the “controller” is either of an “outer” (and, thus, exoteric) perceptual and conceptual nature or of an “inner” (and, thus, esoteric) perceptual and conceptual nature.
The “outer” (or exoteric) “method” of controlling the “controller” is, characteristically, performed in the physical space associated with the bodily (or bodybased) “point of view”.
The “inner” (or esoteric) “method” of controlling the “controller” is, characteristically, performed in the mental space associated with the “interior” of the otherwise bodily (or body-based) “point of view”.
In the conventions of all the traditions of human “method” (whether exoteric or esoteric), control of the apparent (or, otherwise, presumed) “controller” is always a mode of “knowledge” (either perceptual or conceptual in “its” nature). Exoteric “knowledge” is always a mode of physically effective control over a “controller” that is apparently (or presumed to be) of a physical nature or kind. Esoteric “knowledge” is always a mode of mentally effective control over a “controller” that is apparently (or presumed to be) of a mental nature or kind. All conditional (or psycho-physical) “knowledge”—whether exoteric or esoteric— is a “method” (or, otherwise, a presumed state) of control over “what” otherwise appears (or is presumed) to control the body and/or the mind of the collective and/or the individual ego-“self” (or operative “point of view”).
“What” is (or would be) controlled by either exoteric or esoteric “knowledge” is always (as the first and most basic procedure) “objectified”—and, thus and thereby, dissociated from the “self” (or the “point of view”) by the exercise of the presumption that the “controller” is “not-self”.
Every “object” of “knowledge” (or every mode or form of presumed “notself”) is either an apparent (or, otherwise, presumed) “object” (or mode of process) within the conditionally arising apparent “world” and “universe” or, otherwise, the totality of conditionally arising apparent “universe” (or “world”) “itself” (or as an “objectified” whole).
The exoteric “knowledge” of any conditionally arising apparent (or presumed) “object” (or, otherwise, the exoteric “knowledge” of the “objectified” totality of “world” and “universe”) is, necessarily, a mode or kind of physically-based “knowing” (and, thus and thereby, controlling) “it”.
The esoteric “knowledge” of any conditionally arising apparent (or presumed) “object” (or, otherwise, the esoteric “knowledge” of the “objectified” totality of “world” and “universe”) is, necessarily, a mode or kind of metaphysically-based “knowing” (and, thus and thereby, controlling) “it”.
