knowledge

Are beliefs not often the children of ignorance and fantasy? Consider the heavenly view of the world that young souls entertain at the height of their innocence, when their youth has been surrounded by love and filled with happiness. Hear their laughter. Dreams expand in a vacuity of knowledge like a laughing gas and induce the blindest, the purest joy. Ignorance is bliss, as they say, because it spares us the mental restraints associated with knowledge (which reveals the limits of reality and hence the impossibility of our fantasies). It is the ultimate playground where the mind can build castles in the air, create a wonderland, and live delightedly in this kingdom of reverie. It paves the way for the reign of error, as it leaves us to believe whatever we like. Everything that is desirable is realizable, if not real, until we find evidence to the contrary. Santa Claus eventually dies of our old age - when we are no longer so young, so green, that we are easily fooled by a tall story.

In truth, however wise we may be, we are still at risk. We spontaneously indulge in fantasies about the world here below, which is never totally known, or the beyond, which is unknowable. We are always tempted to believe that our health, our relationships, our career, or any other part of our life, will be wonderful, or that our death will not be an end, but a passage from here to a paradisal hereafter. This temptation is irresistible for many when they discover a charismatic fortuneteller or spiritual leader who professes this belief, which remains unproven nonetheless. Our believing is then the result of ignorance and fantasy, plus faith.

An example of self-deceit that concerns young idealists and betrays their warm-blooded aspiration for perfect love is the illusive passion they often experience toward attractive members of the opposite sex whom they little know. By perfect love I mean a complete and durable harmony at every level - physical, psychological, intellectual, and spiritual - between two lovers. It involves friendship to a high degree, as the words “girlfriend” and “boyfriend” suggest. While it includes lust, it transcends and transfigures it.

Pop songs are common vehicles for this ideal, which entices many young souls. I am thinking of young men in particular, who are usually quick to fantasize about pretty young women and fall madly in love with them, or rather with a fantastical image of them. This quickness is typical of their ardent and imprudent youth. It needs nothing more than a few smiles and nods, a few gracious words of agreement, to make these young men imagine they have found a soul mate, as they pour out their inner self - their sense of what is good, true, right, or sacred.

Did you know?

Did you know knowledge is knowing? Essentially knowledge is not only what you know but after knowing a fact how to use the wealth of information that you’ve obtained.

Let me elaborate.

Sometime ago a study was done regarding the usage of gainful information or shall I say the lack thereof. The reports were staggering. According to this study on a daily basis we are privy to an abundance of knowledge but only use about twenty-percent of what we encounter in this lifetime. It kind of makes your mouth fall wide-open with shock, right.

Why is that I ask? There are several reasons why humanity in large numbers does not put to good use the data obtained.

1. Subtle distractions: example the cares of this world.

a) Jobs, children, school and other productive activities that requires our full attention.

2. Anxiety: Comes in many forms.

b) Depression, emotional stress, jobless, homeless and sickness.

3. Unsatisfied: Usually unhappy with current state of affairs

c) Ignorant, unfulfilled, low selfesteem and hopeless.
