ah, the tree of knowledge, that we have all eaten the fruit of! lol
Have you read Don Miguel Ruiz? I love his story, that eating from that tree indeed does give you knowledge - opinions, truths, blah blah.
havent read him, just saw a coworker with a copy of
The Four Agreements last night though...is that his best work iyo? "Four" struck me as pretty...arbitrary? Esp after
The Fifth came out, so ive been kinda waiting for reviews
"truths" i gotta wonder, what truths? Absolute Truths?
People interpret it as a tree of wisdom, but wisdom is merely knowing that knowledge isn't bringing you any closer to yourself
We all have our own knowledge, or own opinions which we call truths - we all are always right, in that extent.
He who says he knows anything, doesn't
Hence why we fight over words, anything, both sides - because they both feel that they are right, and in their own right everyone always is always right
ha, yeh
i guess
manna isn't called "what is it?" for nothing
and i wonder if you havent just summarized
speaking in tongues
"I don't know anything. Ever. It's really quite relaxing."
