Where is the comfort in knowing that we can not get blood from a stone? That is the original problem; Knowing what we know, why would we look there? Having trouble with acceptance? Know, more like desperately afraid to look somewhere else, somewhere, unfamiliar. Approached as if it were "The first Moon walk" or Bungee Jumping.
Here is the kind of lie that seems innocuous enough; I wonder what unencumbered people struggle with? Idiot, there is no such thing as unencumbered people.
We are in a foot race, there is an Achilles heal for us all. What slows one may not slow another. What I find empowering you may find debilitating.
The Yin and the Yang of it; Balance. A balance of intelligence, friends, consequence, effort, success and failure, all that life can offer. You will not be able to partake of any more than you can ascertain. We cannot use higher math or emotion, because we do not recognise it's value or pertinent attributes.
It really is true, God will not put on us any more than we can handle, not cause' it won't help but because that look on your face when you ask me for my opinion of your new haircut and I respond by slamming my finger in the door, is more than even God can stand.
If it's to heavy, I may not be able or have the desire to pick it up.

Yes. I am a Hindu and our Scriptures say that knowledge which does not show you the way to God is ignorance.That means all knowledge acquired in the academic fields are no knowledge.
Such knowledge is described as "Avidhya"
The supreme mother divine is worshipped as vidhya-Avidhya
swaroopini.Meaning O' divine mother you are the knowledge and also the no knowledge I prostrate to you.

Of course, we do it every day. Our seekers and WISEST of forefathers and mothers were outcast for being ignorant when in fact they were informers of a new truth, far exceeding the thinking at the time. We do this regularly as a nation and as a planet today. To admit that we do NOT understand would be a beginning to clear the way for this behavior to stop and to give seers and wise ones a chance to come forth and teach the rest! Good question!

Not true knowledge, in the sense say, that we breath oxygen, but many people, especially as they get older, believe they know things about life that are reallyl just illusions. Philosophy was founded on the idea that one has to forget what they know in order to begin to learn, because we are often taught as we grow up things that aren't true. Plato's "apology" is a good text to check out...as I would say "the lotus sutra" or Pascal's "truth."

If you have knowledge but do not have awareness of the source of all knowlege, then it could be said that your knowlege is ignorance. As the colors of the rainbow are contained in sunlight,all knowlege is contained in God.

It is a paradox, the more knowledge we gain, the more we realize what we don't know. I think there is a famous quote like this from someone!

Absolutely not. You can have knowledge and be stupid, but you
can't have knowledge and be ignorant.
MERRY CHRISTMAS and have a nice day.
Thank you very much, while you're up!

In that the more we learn, the more we realize we don't know; yes.
