The only new knowledge
you feel you need
is knowledge to defend
the knowledge
you already think to have.

Freedom is not more knowledge,
it is rather the opposite.

But do you need to know that?

Well this is the big question here at the moment. Yesterday's talk with Scott and then with Mike turn me mad.
Knowledge is yet another "thing" among appearances. Knowledge, mind help not (so we are told) but then again those who teach tell you they know they are not body or mind. But what knows that?
This is complete paranoid madness.

I feel more and more it is vain to say anything about anything.

Yeah, it can be confusing because we use the same word to signpost to different things! Maybe the problem arises when we get too hooked up on the word without looking into what it stands for...

'know' can mean:

1. to have knowledge- facts and things jammed into the filling cabinet

2. to be aware- to feel the truth directly.

Freedom is knowing that you don't need more knowledge because freedom is BEING AWARE that you don't need more knowledge.
