And now I’m going to throw a monkey wrench into this wonderful discourse...
The 3rd level is a reversion back to the starting line of knowing... because all truth contains within it the seed of its opposite. It is through the context of dark that we understand light and it is by light that we understand dark. The full picture is not clear one without the other.
So it is here that I say this... Knowing is a seed born from the understanding that it is not what you know but what you don’t know.
Truth therefore is relative to the situation and the objective view. One context shifts the perspective bringing to light a new layer of knowledge just below ones conscious self.
There is no end to the search because knowing depends entirely on the context of its next layer of secrets.
We as finite human beings never arrive... until mortalities knock sounds upon the door.
Then and only then will everything we thought we knew as truth fade away into brilliant all knowing.
The knowledge of good and evil has its demise in its relation to relative context (time, and perception) Truth is more a byproduct of the shifting reality than a static state of absolute fixed in time and space.
I disagree. The things we don't know can be infinite. You can act upon the things that you do know, not what you don't know. Things do shift, but there is truth that can potentially be known at particular time-frame instances in existence.
That’s exactly the problem. Knowing is static truth in an ever changing and expanding world. I agree that we act on what’s established but keeping in mind that truth is relative to the context of time, place, and person keeps us humble in our discovery of it. I am always seeking. Always learning. Always attempting to look at the world in new ways... because it’s not what I know that counts... it’s the realization that there is so much that I don’t know. Staying open and flexible is of vital importance don’t you think?
