What would it be like to not "know" anything

[Chives99]

Seriously give this some contemplation. Everything you can conceptualise, think  and imagine is something that is "known" to you in the logical sense and the problem with logical understanding is that there always needs a secondary justification to justify it, leading to the problem of infinite regress, so how could you "know" if you were actually enlightened, you can't, truth cannot be known, truth is what is left over when all knowledge has been abandoned and thats what you are

The thing is, the mind cannot really know anything. And what you have done is give us an excersise that is only suitable for the mind.

When the mind stops, that's when you know that you actually didn't know anything.

But that realization doesn't mean that you no longer know anything, it means that true knowledge can now be integrated and embodied, because when all you know is mind, you really don't know anything except repetitive thoughts that you thought symbolised reality. 

Thinking without presence is just pretty much useless and mostly harmful.

There is no need to know anyting just being is all there is..it's perfect ❤

The Mind wants to attain and gain knowledge.

True self is already complete and is pure consciousness..

It's either you know something. Or you know everything. The more you know, the wiser you are. The highest wisdom is God's. Second highest , Our wisdom. Third, my wisdom. 

This has nothing to do with @Angelite whatsoever.
