Knowing and believing are the same in essence, but different in degree. For example, what I'm sharing with you all is *known* to me, because.....it's what (((I))) (((know))), based upon and from a deep, core place within me that becomes alive/alert when ((( I AM )))recognizing truth, through (((my))) experiences. Believing most times comes from (((other people's))) experiences and/or perspective. Knowing comes from stepping outside the box that so many have been placed and kept in for many years. Believing is based on the illusion of the box. This box is for the masses, the "feel good" crowd, who remain in this comfort zone with one another, rather than walk or stand alone.
The original man has lost his/her way, and therefore lacks understanding in his/connectiion to God/Creator/Most High. We're a part of the mundane, but rarely ponder what's beyond it. The road/path to God/Creator/Most High is narrow, yet obtainable to those who seek it. Religious dogma and various doctrines is treasure for some while poison for others, all depending on what your mind and spirit is ready to receive,to process. We tend to confess (((a))) truth, however, (((the)) truth is what our soul seeks. The soul is what awakenes (lights up) when you let go of the fear...the defense mechanism that controls and keeps us from the light, helplessly defending what is supposed to be truth...what you supposedly (((know))) to be truth. There's a time and place for all things. There simply comes a time when there is no need to defend... when you find yourself arguing with ignorance, let it go. The ancient axiom that says, "When the student is ready, the teacher will appear" ...are words that I live by.
Sometimes it's wise to be silent.... in your silence, you'd be suprised and what you learn, the source of this knowledge, and how it can be incorporated into your life for the better.
There is still much to learn. Not everything is edible... not everything is righteous, but I'm forever a student, for as it's been said, "The student is the greatest teacher". My spirituality is not confined to the doctrines of self-righteous men, who think/believe they hold the keys to absolute truth though he has not walked in my shoes, nor experienced my series of moments in life...
And finally, but not least...many things exist in harmony and compliment each other even when we're not yet aware of it. I (((know))) that my king and I (the love of my life) are not so much different as we are the same.
