Belief and Knowledge

in #poetry7 years ago

Belief is like a followed command.
External intent internalized.

If the belief aligns with truth,
it is dependable in practice.

If the belief aligns with truth,
questioning it yields knowledge.

Knowledge yields perfect faith.
Knowledge is therefore power.

The instrument of this power
is called "imagination."

Thank you for sharing, following you

Thanks, same.

Nice and well written.
Especially about how knowledge is power, it is very true.
I believe all the succeessful people on this planet are where they are today because of the knowledge they have acquired and used. Knowledge is truthly everything.

Thanks!

When I use the word "knowledge" here, I mean specifically "revelation knowledge," or that which you inexplicably know to be true. Intellectual knowledge is by comparison a cheap imitation.

Not that intellectual knowledge is worthless, but it lacks the power of the deeper kind.

With that in mind, I'd agree. I think another way of saying what makes successful people successful is that they are generally in tune with their intuition, or tapped into the source.

Lovely poem, short and sweet stanzas!
