What is knowledge, what is meaning?

[Razard86]

Ever wonder how you know anything at all? Ever wonder what it means to know a thing? To know a thing is to recognize it. Knowledge is self-recognition.

When I show you two colors you are able to distinguish one color from another color. So knowledge is discernment. Knowledge is understanding. But if you pay attention you will realize that discernment can't be taught.

You can't teach a dog language. Now a dog can learn to respond to specific terminology, but it can't understand language visually, and it's ability to understand language audibly is limited.

This means that understanding/meaning is a function of intelligence. The higher your intelligence the higher your capacity for meaning and understanding. Everything around you is meaning. What does this mean?

It means everything around you is a sensory representation of functionality. Meaning requires you to recognize the functional operation of patterns, and to recognize the relationships of the parts from the smallest degree to the highest degree and to recognize the existence of order and disorder.

It's a close investigation of the expression that is being expressed. To truly know a thing is to know everything about a thing. To know everything about a thing is to fully accept a thing. To know everything about a thing and fully accept a thing is to be a thing, which is being.

This means being is capable of complete self-understanding, which is the same as saying it is capable of solving the mystery of its being. This is what love is. Love is not just a mystery, it's the resolution of all mystery. And this is what knowledge is at the highest level. 

The collapse of knowledge into being or rather the recognition that knowledge is being fully recognized is equivalent to death. Because death is the end of the current mystery that is unfolding.

Is knowledge beyond words? Is a silent mind more intelligent? How do you cultivate knowledge that is beyond words if that is even possible? 

Also, knowledge seems extremely relative. For example, I have knowledge of a "dog" because of everything that is "not a dog". But what do I compare "everything" to in order to get knowledge of it?

There is relative knowledge, and there is absolute knowledge. The knowledge of existence is absolute, whereas the knowledge of the content of existence is relative and ever changing.

So how do you turn the relative into the Absolute? Know everything. If you know everything in its totality there will be nothing left to compare it too. Which leaves only one knowledge of one being. Totality of knowledge has no contrast because it is completely identical to being. 

This is what happens at death by the way.

What do you mean by "know everything"? Isn't there infinite information available?

Also, aren't we already dead? Aren't we "dead beings" making up reality?

Eventually that infinity becomes total. It becomes total by recognizing and acknowledging everything as it's own being.

So right now you are aware of yourself as a human, now take that awareness and expand it to infinity and you become aware of everything. 

There are infinite versions of death, just like there are infinite versions of life. Death is loss of appearance/expression, life is appearance/expression.

You are never born.

Birth is appearance. Birth is apart of you. To deny birth is to deny appearance and to fall into delusion which you have fallen into.

Totality includes everything. Every moment is Birth and death simultaneously.

Knowledge and thought is being. Since consciousness imagines everything into being, all is thought. 

Reality is a dream, which is the same as saying a collection of thoughts. So life is a thought and death is the dissolution of all thought.

When you hold a bottle with your hand that bottle is a thought. So being expressing itself is a thought in universal mind.

This is just your personal interpretation. Therefore, your opinion and beliefs. Truth has nothing to do with mind, personal opinion nor beliefs.

What do you think of the understanding that Mind/Absolute imagines consciousness into being? Now that I’ve contemplated this along the lines described by Ken Wheeler in the document below, English and modern spiritual talk of consciousness essentially everywhere I’ve seen it appears to be noob-tier. 

Reading this was quite illuminating for myself, and it lines up with what I’ve experienced in practice. I’ve not seen this described so well anywhere else yet. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1DQl3D8ChW7610C4RKjlckJwNJm8hvHFx/view

See what you don't understand is there is no difference between delusion and truth. This is why you are still deluded.

God is so powerful that if God says a delusion is true, then it's true. This is because the truth is reality is pure imagination which is the same as saying pure fabrication, pure fiction. Bur because it is total, it has no other, no reference, so it has to create its own reference. 

But all of its references is itself, so as a result each perspective can only define itself. And this is what it means to have self awareness. To be aware of how you construct and generate self.

You have not yet penetrated into the depths of your construction, you still don't understand that the only reason a human mind can exist at all is because there is a universal absolute mind.

You have yet to understand that a human is just a smaller mimicker of God. God is an absolute unconditional mind. Human is a relative conditioned mind. God is everywhere. A human is somewhere. God is infinite. A human is finite. 

Until you realize you are God, you are just God deluded into some condition.

Anything you experience is an illusion. Therefore god.

Again knowledge is self-recognition. Consciousness has the ability to recognize itself. Why? Because it is itself  This is what the word means acknowledge. To admit, to accept. 

I am God, because everything is made of God. And God is pure imagination. Which is the same as saying a thought. Many of you have no idea that everything is made of thought.

If you penetrate into the substrate of thoughts you will discover that thoughts are nothing. They are just appearances. There is no difference between human imagination and God imagination. 

Why? Because they are made of the same stuff. The only difference they have is their immersion power. God imagination power had absolute immersion power, human imagination does not.

That is the only difference. So the distinction of Real was created to separate and describe the integrity/persistence of a thing's existence.

God is a blank so it is eternally persistent, and the arising of appearance and disappearance is fluid and ever changing. And God makes it real by making that fluidity appear solid/integral so that it can be experienced as Real. 

So Real is just immersionary power. So it's more accurate to say, depending on your state of consciousness will determine how imaginary or real the dream of life is.

Nice. But, explanation of these stuff will change anything?

Of course it does. It is self-illuminating.

Where is the self?

[Breakingthewall]

There are two types of knowledge, acquired knowledge, which is false, and direct knowledge, which is true. When you know something within your conceptual structure it is a structure created by the mind, and it is false. When you know something because as the reality that you are, that knowledge is manifest, direct and inevitable, it is true.

The difference between true and false is the difference between real and unreal. You know what you really are, or what you have to do in your life, you simply have to let that knowledge flow unhindered by structured acquired knowledge. When true knowledge flows, your approach to the direction of your life will be total, seamless, and your understanding will be too. It doesn't mean that you are omniscient, means that your understanding is real, is the reality
