"nothing is known within the illusions of the 3d world"
"I know that I know nothing" Socrates (apparently what he really said was "I neither know nor think that I know" which sounds a bit more fancy haha)
"the fool doth think he is wise but the wise man knows himself to be a fool" William Shakespeare , As you like it
"everythink you know is wrong" U2
(Freudian slip, I wrote "everythink" haha, I leave it like that for your consideration)
All the knowledge we ammass in a lifetime - where does it lead to?
I was thinking of that recently, when a very respected wise man (he was a chemist and naturopath and knew loads about plants and herbal healing, I attended his seminars in the early 2000s) ended up totally demented. He is now in a care home. All his knowledge turned to dust and nullified....
in the end all that is left and will never leave us is .... our Self?
Lao Tzu:
Look, and it can't be seen.
Listen, and it can't be heard.
Reach, and it can't be grasped.
Above, it isn't bright.
Below, it isn't dark.
Seamless, unnamable,
it returns to the realm of nothing.
Form that includes all forms,
image without an image,
subtle, beyond all conception.
Approach it and there is no beginning;
follow it and there is no end.
You can't know it, but you can be it,
at ease in your own life.
Just realize where you come from:
this is the essence of wisdom.
