How is it you know that I haven't found the knowledge (as if there is 'one' knowledge, lol), you assume you have it correct and that no one else has been privy to your experience . . . that's quite a leap of faith if you ask me?

You can call it the Demiurge, or anything you like. It points in the direction of the way things are to be sure.
This sentence makes no sense, would you reiterate it clearly?

If you had it, you would never have made that statement. I do not mean that contentiously. So, do not be insulted, please. There is simply a lot more to the story, And, you would not be fearful, you would be horrified.
Again an assumption with nothing backing it up.

Quote:

But, don't believe me. It's your own show, so, you create it any way you like. You may very well be alright when the time comes, I do not know. I do not even know if I will be alright. I am not overly positive on that notion as well.
Very true, we all create our universe ans we go along. But, what the heck do you mean I "might be alright when the time comes"? LOL . . . I gotta hear this :bowdown:

I cleared my storehouse, and, I am just going to live the rest of this aeon in silence when it comes to offering any advice. Everyone has to do whatever they believe is best. I believe it is best to find your own Truth, and, then rest on it, and hope.
A good practice

Quote:

Being constrained is not an original idea of mine. It has been written many times in different ways by various sources. So, it is not a 'blanket statement'.
I don't understand?

Quote:

Search it out, that is your choice. I will not point to any source, because, that is something I will never consider doing any longer. So, justification is on you to find it. It's out there, so, please do not ask how I can justify it. Ask yourself why you cannot.
Search what out? How do you know I haven't already?

I don't understand?

Without getting into a lengthy debate, you said knowledge is power. I assume that to mean you believe you have that knowledge. If you have it, then I would not see one question. You would understand completely.

And, someone has also been privy to my experiences. My very best and only remaining friend from childhood had the same experiences. The only person I have ever known to have had them. Coincidence?

Siamese twins (linguistics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Just assume I have no clue, and, here is a link that you may wish to investigate thoroughly. Just change the conjunctions to similes, and, it might serve you well when the time comes, providing of course that you do need to know. I hope not, but, it appears that we will.

That is an assumption, so tip the glass to hopes that it is not necessary. I would concentrate on knowing the things we can know concerning the human experience, and, leaving well enough alone things concerning the supernatural, especially anything concerning an afterlife.

Fire, Water, Earth, and Air. Why do all contain explosive elements? A good study of Biology, and Chemistry will provide some serious knowledge.

I am not going to contend with anyone. You seek the knowledge, and, I will seek a frontal lobotomy:)

In the infamous words of Phil Ochs, I'm Not Marching Anymore.



I don't believe he ever marched. And, I am going to pretend I never did. And, you can assume that I assume to know absolutely nothing about anything.

Don't be tempted to win the future, or you've lost it in the now.

That is the buzz phrase for this year, according to someone on some website I can't remember:)

No need to debate further. Just assume you have won.

I do agree that God is definitely in your mind. And, things can be interpreted in different ways. At least I hope they can.

The fool spends his whole life trying to become God
The sage is already God, without ever wishing to be.

And boy do I wish I did not know that.

Finally.

It is better to become a fool on one's own account, than a sage on another's approbation.

Nietzsche found out just how powerful knowledge is. Trust me, Syphilis had nothing to do with driving him nuts.

Knowledge. We all have it. No one has more than another. It is a matter of how much you pull up that determines the power. My only point here is that there are things that you do not want to pull up out of that biological computer of the mind. Does it make you wonder why so many brilliant minds of history have ended up in la la land? Not me, I know exactly why. And, that is the knowledge of things best left alone. And, that is all I know beyond fear. And, I have always been fearless. Not anymore:)

So you win SIRIUS. The check is in the mail.:)

later

Wow Pedestrian. I thought I was the only one who knew that! Don't let anybody say that you are not intelligent.

And, the answer is.

Pedestrians have the right of way at crosswalks. So, I won't run you under the bus. I'm considerate that way:)

If only. I actually wish I had one answer to one question. Why?

That answer would ease my mind quite a bit. Maybe someone knows. Not a chance. Not even me Pedestrian, and I know everything:)

Here is a hypothetical question for you. What would you do if you had the knowledge that could change the whole world for the better? What would you do about it? What could you do?

Just curious.

Speaking of great guitarists; Alvin Lee was awesome:)



Remember, walk don't run. You're a pedestrian:)

Well Steve, Knowledge is accumulated over your lifetime, it is not something that is instantly acquired and instantly gives you gnosis.
