A propos tego co pisałeś kiedyś o wiedzy, o tym jednym wielkim nie-wiem i o tym, że Bóg jest poza zasięgiem.

Cytat:"Now be completely present, give me your whole attention, with all the understanding that you are capable of, with all the subtlety you can muster. For the teaching about divinity requires a divine concentration of consciousness if it's to be understood. It's just like a torrential river, plunging headlong down from the heights so violently that with its rapidity and speed it outstrips the attention not only of whoever is listening but also of whoever is speaking."
Knowledge moves so fast that you have to be as fast as it is if you want to keep pace. There is no standing still. You have to keep moving, leaving what you knew behind, otherwise it will hold you back.
The truth flows so rapidly that anything you think you know is not the truth, because knowing is too slow. And that applies especially to the teacher.
Real knowledge demands a tremendously subtle awareness. We have to be poised and empty, listening and watching. It keeps streaming down. It's invisible, not because it's "somewhere else," as we have been led to believe, but because its rapid flow is what actually creates everything we see. The only way we can perceive it is through a total focus, through being completely present as the text demands.

Cytat:The ultimate goal of all knowledge of God is to realize that one knows nothing. Yet even this is unattainable. A person may come to realize his own ignorance, but only in a certain area on a particular level. There is still the next level, which he has not even touched. He does not know enough about the next level to begin to realize his ignorance. No matter how high he climbs, there is always the next step. A person therefore knows nothing: he cannot even understand his own ignorance. For there will always be a level of ignorance beyond his present level of perception.
Sichot Haran # 3
The more you draw yourself to God, the more you must realize how far you are from Him. When a person believes that he has succeeded in achieving closeness to God and understanding of Him, it is a sign that he does not know anything at all. If he did, he would understand that he is very far from God and knows absolutely nothing, because God's greatness is without limits.
