This is what is ordinarily called 'knowing.' This is obviously relative, dualistic, as such.<br /><br />Then there are pointers to What IS that use words such as Apperceiving, One Mind, Being-Knowing, Experiencing. These pointers use things that we are familiar with to make a kind of bridge to "THIS WHICH IS", but can never be objectified.<br /><br />Obviously, people speaking and writing on the subject of Advaita, etc. don't always do so in a way that is consistent and clear when it comes to terminology.tom sullivanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05458625544046415716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-158395636222693537.post-10297642847641690072010-10-28T15:47:27.960-07:002010-10-28T15:47:27.960-07:00Tom, Interesting points and pointers, thank you! ...Tom, Interesting points and pointers, thank you! I need to mull them over, "knowing" is such a sticky point for me, still not sure what can and can't be known.Diane AZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02304549124035767882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-158395636222693537.post-33563049220691644562010-10-28T08:36:24.794-07:002010-10-28T08:36:24.794-07:00I like Spira's pointing, particularly "th...I like Spira's pointing, particularly "this locationless dimension called Here."<br /><br />But then he says, "It is known by all of us" which actually contradicts his entire preceeding line of argument.<br /><br />I prefer the pointer that, "Here can never be known, nor not known."tom sullivanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05458625544046415716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-158395636222693537.post-32484270087701905312010-10-28T06:16:23.093-07:002010-10-28T06:16:23.093-07:00Lovely!
