“Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance”
- Confucius -
Think about how much we do not know, compared to what we do know. When it comes right down to it we do not understand this world at all...
Thank you for your thoughts...

Namvet: No human can claim to know the majority of things, the sheer size of the universe makes this impossible...

Zenbuddhamaster: Yes, exactly:
“Don't imagine that you'll discover the truth by accumulating more knowledge. Knowledge creates doubt, and doubt makes you ravenous for more knowledge. You can't get full eating this way”

The SACRED is not intellectualized. It is experiential. It requires
stilling the mind of it's constant chatter, and experiencing the "knowing" one is part of everything. It cannot even be explained in words.
All the questioning and answering is an EGO trip. To find
peace, we must overcome the ego, and learn to enjoy the moment.

The way I think about it is this. As the circle of knowledge grows, so does the circumference of ignorance.
