[Steps to KNOWLEDGE] #3 - WHAT DO I REALLY KNOW?
Today ask yourself what you really know and distinguish what you know from what you think or hope for or want for yourself or your world, what you are afraid of, what you believe in, what you cherish and what you value. Distinguish this question from all such orientations to the very best of your ability and ask yourself, “What do I really know?” You must continuously examine whatever answers you give to this question to see if they represent your beliefs or assumptions or the beliefs or assumptions of other people or perhaps even of humanity at large.
Three times today, for 10 minutes each, ask this question and think very seriously about your response and about
the meaning of this question, “What do I really know?”
Practice 3: Three 10-minute practice periods.
What I formerly wrote about this, on 13/07/2015:
I know to a small extent that AS ABOVE, SO BELOW.
I Know that I mostly don't Know.
I Know that my being isn't only made of this sobconscious awareness. There's a greater subconscious to be Known.
I sometimes consciously Know that I live, but most of the times I subconsciously exist.
I know that I want to Know, not to believe.
What I presently, 16/12/2017, Think of Knowledge to be:
Morning Practice (13:39 - 13:48)
[This is after spending an friday night outside and having drank quite a bit.]
I Know that I Exist, to a certain degree.
I Know that I'm afraid of being an average human being.
I know that I want to do with my Life, for the present moment.
I know that Mind/Thoughts/Awareness are to be placed as a first priority when it comes to Life, in general.
Afternoon Practice
I value Awareness, being Aware of my Own Existence/Life.
I cherish the many lessons I learn everyday.
I cherish the great friends that I have.
Evening Practice
We had some visitors over to our house and I've skipped this part entirely (D:).
General Perspective
Saturday, 17/12/2017, the day of this Step, was pretty all over the place. I feel like I haven't done it properly, but I guess that that's a part of growing up too. The fact is that I went outside friday night and came home Saturday morning, being a little buzzed, in a sense. And that's what made me shift the Importance that I normally give to each Step to something else, like sleeping and what not.
There have been times in our Life where we were in a place where we Believed the things that Society at large believes about Life in general, but it's been a while and we've decidedly grown out of that because we can see that the way society perceives life has as main goal the restriction of Consciousness.
