Questions Regarding “Knowing” 
                         That Are Never Asked, 
         Along With Certain Answers On The Subject
            That Few Asked To Hear…..so --   HERE! 
 
 
 

The knowing that can be talked about is not the actual knowing.  One guy’s method & motto:
              “Don’t stare  --   don’t compare."
 

The Two Approaches: 
Empty Pockets --  or:  Carrying A Stone.
Either pockets full of serious nothingness --  OR nothingness finally emptied of all pretense.
Question: To what can you compare, “nothingness”?
 

The fewer the physical demands of your life, 
the greater you feel the need to know.
You can’t clear your mind on a full stomach,
or focus your attention, right after sex. 
 
 

            The Never Asked Question Concerning The
                             Ultimate Role Playing: 
“What is the motivation?
What is the motivation for me thinking the thought I am now thinking & feeling?”  (dirtier & more poignant still: ”What is the motivation for me playing the character I am presently pretending to be?”)
 He who knows the answer to the question: “Motivation?” knows it all. 
Query: How is a make believe character to 
distinguish between the real and the un real?
 
 
 
 

           There is no beginning and there is no end, 
             and whether you understand this or not 
    is the difference between seeing life as if in a dream, 
                             and seeing it as it is. 
 
 
 

Once you know you also realize that life is arranged so that it is almost impossible for a man TO know,
regardless of his desire to do so.
 
 
 
 
 

             What can a man who knows tell others?    
                                         Nothing.
 
 
 
 

Knowing is the only kind of knowing in which men who do not know do not know whether they know or not.
When a man does not know how an internal combustion engine works, he knows that he does not know,
but when a man does not know the knowing,
he cannot tell whether he knows or not.
Only those who know can make this distinction….
…and they do not talk about knowing…….
   …they have forgotten the distinction --  
             and THAT is the real knowing.
 
 

Question: What is the difference between a sunny day,
     and a sad day? --  that’s right:
     the mechanism of your answering the question.
 
 

THE PROGRESSION OF ANSWERS:
The first answer to all questions is: “More,”
the next answer after that is: “Less,”
and once that is seen as futile 
the final answer to all questions is: ”None.”
The person who arrives at this answer for himself
                   then knows all there is to know.
 
 
 
 
 

There was once a colony of ants,
and as is the nature of the creatures,
an individual ant will not survive alone;
ants only live as a collective body,
hence it is not accurate to think in terms of a 
single ant --  but rather about a colony of ants.
The life of an individual ant is in essence,
the life of a collection of ants.
In this particular colony was an unusual ant;
he alone conceived of himself as separate from the other ants, and his feeling about being a forced part of the colony was not positive;
whenever he would think about his life in this way,
he wanted to be only himself alone, 
but due to the power of instinct, most of the time he unthinkingly was carried along with whatever the colony was doing, and did not think about himself
as an individual.
The other ants were completely unaware of his thinking, and to them he in essence, did not even exist
(not as a separate, conscious entity.)
He, on the other hand, (whenever he was thinking about himself as an individual ant), was at such moments, MUCH aware of the other ants, and for a while, tried to get some of them interested in his view of life, but for all practical purposes, the other ants could not hear his ideas for in operational fact, they were not even knowledgeable of his 
individual existence;
the ordinary ants were only conscious of ant existence in the collective sense of the colony as a whole,
with individual ant consciousness 
not entering the picture.
Thus, they were not aware he existed,
and he, even though aware OF their existence,
could not affect them --
all he could do was:  know what he knew --  and
live just for himself -- whenever he thought about it, 
and forget about the other ants....after all,
he and them are all the same thing --  one ant colony,
indivisible, and with inescapable ant justice for all.

In this story is all a person needs to know 
                              to know.
