What is Knowledge?

[Razard86]

The definition of knowledge according to Oxford is: awareness or familiarity gained by experience of a fact or situation.

This is interesting because as we know everything is awareness. There is nothing but awareness. So if knowledge is awareness gained by experience... then knowledge is just awareness interacting with itself. So when awareness interacts with itself it learns. But what is it learning? To Know is to connect. So knowledge is a connection. But what is that connection? That connection is a recognition, the recognition of itself.

The same way J.K. Rowling knows Harry Potter as she continued to write her books she learned more about Harry Potter. God functions the same way. As it creates it learns more about itself through its creation and continues to know, or recognize itself. All enlightenment is, is the pursuit of knowing your self. There is nothing but God eternally becoming more and more aware of itself. God is the ultimate author of experience, it can create storylines so grand, so profound, so real, that God can even fool itself. 

There is no greater creation than reality, there is no greater story than the story that is your life. So profound, and yet so simple. Whatever God knows, is true. Because God is truth. So anyone we argue with...was never wrong, because truth can never be wrong. Any disagreement is just a story not aligning with another story. A knowledge that is being rejected. Its a denial, a refusal to know or recognize that which is being presented. 

"I know I'm right." Is how one feels the deeper their connection to their experience. "I might be wrong" is how one feels when doubt creeps in. The doubt creates experience that aligns with the doubt while also simultaneously creating that which is held to be true. Then a tug of war happens for attention in which either doubt or belief holds true. When doubt wins a new path opens up to a newly lived experience. This new experience is a paradigm shift for new knowledge of self. 

One of the deepest realizations you will eventually realize is you have always gotten what you wanted. Reality serves you, because your desire to know yourself is reflected back in every moment. The pursuit of knowledge is everyone's life, that is all life is. To recognize yourself in infinite ways, and to fall in love with your reflection. 

Your life is looking in the mirror and recognizing your reflection, that is knowledge, that is connection, that is love, that is you.

And how could god become "more" something when he never started to? infinity has no progression, it doesn't go towards something, it doesn't do anything. is right now all that it could be. understandable? not for me, but it is necessary to understand? Or possible

"knowledge" is knowing it.

"Knowledge" is being it.
