Volatile Avidity

There is a problem in our current thought patterns. The problem is not knowledge itself, nor is it belief. The problem is believing in knowledge. Believing in knowledge is faith in finite understanding. Knowledge is a floor under your feet and a ceiling over your head. It enables you to exist in this world, but to exist in this world is to be fundamentally limited. To grow past our current limits, we cannot stand upon, nor hide underneath, knowledge. We must consider knowledge nothing more than belief. Not believing in knowledge is limitlessness.

Truth is limitless, but language has limitations. In truthful language, we are as precise as we are able without conveying more detail than we know. Therefore, the amount of detail that can be knowingly conveyed is limited by the speaker's knowledge. However, details from other perspectives merge to redress the limitations. They correct each other, revealing the balance that reveals the truth. If we already have the detail, we don't notice the gaps. We are not led astray by ambiguity. But we are inclined to become oblivious to the many forks and pitfalls in the roads we choose to travel on the way of truth.

Knowing is the result of experiencing truth directly. The result of deciding against denial. The only acceptable reproduction of truth. Truth that claims to be truth is not truth, but merely a perspective of truth. Truth must be experienced directly. Believing is an act of will, an agreement in the soul. An acceptance of a reproduction of a reproduction of truth. A stepping stone temporarily serving as knowledge. Non-truth that claims to be non-truth is aligned with truth. But non-truth that hides between expressions of truth is the corruption that grows beside truth as a strangling vine. Spirit recognizes truth as one remembers a forgotten fact. It cannot be persuaded against truth as the soul can. Instead, it yearns to free truth from all confusion and deception.
