Things Are Not Knowledge (GS): 10-24-2026
Knowledge Is Never Reality (GS): 10-23-2026
- The ego is composed of knowledge, so the ego is whatever knowledge you claim it is.
- When spirituality is composed of knowledge, spirituality is whatever knowledge you claim it is.
- When beliefs are composed of knowledge, beliefs are whatever knowledge you claim they are.
- When memories are composed of knowledge, memories are whatever knowledge you claim they are.
- When experiences are composed of knowledge, experiences are whatever knowledge you claim they are.
- When a system of study (history, philosophy, political science, psychology, science, sociology) is composed of knowledge, that system and its outputs are whatever knowledge you claim them to be.
- You can argue about what knowledge something is or is not, but nothing is knowledge but knowledge, making all such arguments about anything but knowledge pointless.

How Does the Ego Work?: 10-21-2026
- Life requires two separate awarenesses. First, awareness of the other (the observed). Second, awareness of the self (the observer).
- The first principle of life is direct awareness (contact) of the other (people, places, the observed, the outside, the physical body, things).
- This direct contact results in sensations (nonverbal experience).
- Ego hijacks your primary awareness (the observer), focusing it on the other (the observed) as knowledge (information, language, thoughts, words).
- As a result, sensations and existence are directly attributed to knowledge rather than to independent experience and reality. Knowledge replaces the observed.
- The second principle of life is awareness of the self as the experiencer of life. This is direct contact with the self as the active experiencer (the observer).
- This direct contact results in sensations (nonverbal experience) of the self (the observer).
- Ego hijacks your secondary awareness (the observer), focusing it on the self as knowledge (information, language, thoughts, words).
- As a result, sensations and awareness are directly attributed to knowledge rather than to an independent experiencing being (the observer, the self).
- Self becomes replaced with knowledge as the secondary awareness of your life (the observer). The self is now regarded as knowledge (concepts, images, thoughts).
- The observer and the observed are both made of thought, so they are one in their shared delusions, dreamlands, illusions, madness, and virtual realities that pass for life while consisting of dead things (thoughts).
