Nothing can be known, everything is metaphor

10 posts in this topic

Deconstruction led me to end, I don't know what can possibly be known by any human or any entity. I think nothing can be known for sure, even absolute truth will tell you in the end that: everything exist and doesn't exist in the same time. Any knowledge is a metaphor of infinity which is indefinite, any philosophy, science, art are all metaphors, any information whether visual, sound, smell, intuition etc is a metaphor of infinity, nothing can be known directly. Even absolute truth of one unbound nothingness and infinite happiness leaves enlightened people for an openness towards deeper truths!!! So what if truth is just another metaphor?

Therefore, what is it all about if not about feeling good? Any thinking arises to find strategies to feel good, any feeling is what make us to function at all. But on the other hand, how can we know if feeling itself is the most important thing? How can we know that its about choosing good over bad? Good feels good and bad feels bad, so what? Many people will feel bad for their entire lives, that doesn't exclude them from reality. Then are feeling of 'good' and love inherent to reality or is it just part of living organisms? 

How can we know if its about playing in infinite playground? 

Coz even if we become truth how can we know that all is good, well, perfect? What is it if not powerful feeling? ->

how can we know that any feeling of good exist outside the perceptions of living organism? ->

how can we know if nothingness governed by love or some good power? is nothingness a 'good' power? is it love? can we assign any good qualities to god? 

i guess i just wanna say that how can we know that god is good? If whatever you think or feel about it is just another metaphor of god among infinite number of other metaphors. How can we know that suffering is a metaphor of lack of god, while happiness or absolute truth is metaphor of god itself? What is it if not hierarchy of metaphors? How can we know that reality is hierarchical from absolute god to not much god to no-god if everything is equally god? Therefore, suffering is just as god as absolute truth or absolute love, why not? And what exactly put feelings on pedestal of metaphors?

ps. might sound non-sensical to you, but i think it will trouble you too at some point of your deconstruction...

Yep, cause it's all unreal. god is not good, he is not evil either, god is nothing. From the ego's perspective witnessing a murder is evil and a lack of god but truth be told it's literally nothing, it just is what it is. I personally don't like the "god is love" crowd because they ignore that suffering was intended to exist, and just like suffering is illusory, well, so is love.  Truth isn't about feeling good, it's about truth. It might give some pleasure in the beggning but it fades after a while, it is mostly stress going away.

This begs the question to be asked.... how does one know that nothing can be known?

Keep questioning, the only Thing you know for sure is that you exist, right?
