What is my reality
Every now and then, one wakes up to a multitude of questions with respect to experiences we interprete and perceive real. Reality that so often presents itself as memories, some sweet, some sour and some out right painful and at other times presenting as vague constructs of our understanding in relation to time, space, cultures, politics, good and evil, all micro concepts in the scheme existence. concepts which more often are varyingly perceived and understood when placed at par with one's level of enlightenment.
But then more troubling questions relating to these constructs that fashion what we perceive as real manifest and even blur further, the lines of understanding if one possesses not the capacity to suspend one's thought in the minds space, while dissecting each one individually and linking them all to the ultimate but relative truth for ones self.
Questions that most often engage my thoughts vary and I will mostly present them one at a time, but for this piece I will try to understand the issue of enlightenment and encourage the idea that you use your minds grasp of these concepts to aid me in ultimately answering for my self the following questions in my journey through existence.
What is enlightenment
Is enlightenment affected by intelligence, information, knowledge, culture,ones immediate societal values and norms.
When does information become knowledge
Does Empirical assessment of knowledge lead to truth.
Is truth relative with regard to one's access to
information.When information is wrong but however aquired as knowledge to the point that it is perceived as truth can it be said to be true to the one who posseses it, if it hasn't been empirically assessed.
When one acts on information he perceives righteousness culminating in actions others perceive as wrong and evil can such a one be adjuged evil.
When conciousness aquires truth and applies such truth to the betterment of a select group neglecting the needs of others, has such conciousnes tapped into it's negative part.
if truth is aquired and for ones own perceived fear of what such truth holds for the collective, willfully hinders the experience of such truth by the collective, has such conciousnes in his own rights done a good or bad thing.
