Knowing nothing

[LookingForTruth]

I was meditating and there was a certain horror knowing that I don't know what anything is and I don't even know if horror is horror but that's the best way I can explain it just thought I'd share my thoughts while I am waiting for my next meditation session

Once You realize Life (Life is Absolute that is in Manifested/Embodied form, has duality and materialism present) has within in a Grand Intelligence that is so beyond what our brains and mind perceive, and that everything is basically a Potential to be Realized and we as Humans have the most Capability in this area, then Knowing becomes Relative, most all of Us know How to Survive based on the situation we are presently in, some do it better than Us, some worse, but most all knowing that ppl have is Survival based knowing, nothing else is known, what a Leaf is, what a bland of Grass is, the location of the Earth in relationship to other objects or the Solar System/Universe itself, what they really Are, what Potentials lie within and what it takes to get to Knowing, because they identify with not knowing, not Present Moment Awareness where Life IS and are heavily conditioned by many many factors, Society, Culture, Education, Family/Friends and their born into Karmic Situation..

But the ability to KNOW is there, the Potential is there, You just have to Stop Identifying with anything, and stop believing..Belief is thinking You know but Experientially You don't know it or experience it this way...

Sounds solid. You have probably noticed an increased ability to wonder about stuff as a result of your meditation. Keep looking into what that is about. It is a useful state from which to question any subject matter.

There will be a moment when you realize you are looking at yourself. That's true messed metaphysical horror.

Why the horror component though? Is one's nature really that ugly?  

Seriously though, you are you, already. What's there to fear? Wait, a better question: What even is there?

@UnbornTao To me its so weird its scary. Cause i still think Im human. Like if the moon turned into an eyeball and looked at you weird. Or your toys came alive and started talking to you weird. I guess Eerie is the word.

Notice, one's nature is currently unknown (unless it isn't), so the fear is occurring relative to an image or conception of what "my nature" is and what grasping it implies. First thing to do is becoming aware of it. It is not, and cannot be, what we think it is.

That’s you facing a truth.

He's experiencing thru filter of Ego and Karma, greatly distorts the Reality of One's nature, so one has to filter it thru Awareness which is not influence by anything, its pure Clarity of What Is, that is why there are tons of practices and methods available, they just get one to have high quality and intense Awareness of What Is, that is already and always there...

@UnbornTao Reality can get very ugly and weird and distorted. You have an ego is showing me that you got scared too and are still scared. This is a realm of imagination that we were watching and got scared and thought we would die and then forgot we were a God.

Again, your nature is the case already, and fear a mind activity. Being abstract is of little use here.

Yeah I remember the first time I realized this. It was really frightening for some reason. 🙂

That's more contemplating rather than meditating. Bringing everything into question.  Whereas meditation is more like basking in the actual state of Not Knowing and just being at one with it.
