NEFX - Shotrol.txt ? For it becomes clear in this path with its obstacles and instigators of inner doubt that it is as with against imagined endpoint of comprehension of the truth as it is with it, and that the comprehension had at the end of the journey for a truth itself reveals the unprecedented nature of the truth once less wisely thought of, where it was in many cases before conceived of as being something already existing and realized but remaining to be found. ? That is, as in something of an alchemical process, the path to the comprehension of a truth is itself the path to the comprehension of comprehension, the process of strengthening consciousness to the point at which it can engage in the thought processes necessary to comprehend the imagined discrete endpoint truth; much as the production of gold, posited as the end goal of an alchemical venture and sought after as such by neonates, becomes ultimately (if even realized) a secondary and less-regardable effect to the enlightenment attained in the process of yielding it. ? It is in part for this reason that the principles of engagement must be widely taught and cultivated for the earnest probing grappling with the contents of all found on the journey without reflexive meek or shelter-seeking recourse to outside authority, as must the proactive creative drive of creating and testing the contents of truth concerning the not-fully-known. ? What the journeyer is then confronted with is the ever-deepening void of what was known before, and thus in some sense paradoxically the ever-deepening sense of the futility of the journey for which there can now be no pre-emptive refuge from as there was before. ? Moreover, the taking of the path is as a rubicon where what was previously presumed true cannot be returned to -- what is to say that it is more known what is false than known (or at least strongly borne) what specifically is true. ? The lack of certainty, stability, or even utility of the path towards knowing makes it appear not as a path of knowing, as a mistake, or at any rate as something too dangerous, lofty, or pyrrhic to be worth it for the mortal to take. ? This consciousness thereby is impeded by its own tendency to take itself as knowledge if for no other reason than the deeply rooted certainty of that consciousness, that presumed knowing which the alien content of a path of knowledge seems only to unroot and make the individual for a time no longer know. ? Thus the starting point of what is natural consciousness, which at any rate varies not only between but within individuals from moment to moment, may yet contain within it the seed of knowing but not knowing itself except as yet inchoate and not fully conscious; that is, it is a point at which one not only does not know fully, but has not yet worked through and explicated how and why it knows that it knows (if indeed it knows at all). ? This path can be of a particular path to the comprehension of a universal law or of THE one, and either way involving a series of at times seemingly inter-conflicting stages in accordance with the nature of that thing being (or to be) comprehended, by which point the whole of the process is self-comprehended and self-realized, even as regards the prior stages of understanding. ? worldly or mortal) manifestations is not itself to be conflated with that law in its totality or final form, but rather to be explicated in its process towards that destination as yet being inhered in that law and ultimately the ultimate. ? e. ? Yet knowledge as or of particular (i. ? That which is known, or the very process of knowing, can manifest in particular identifiable ways; that is, they can count as phenomena, as something experienced from which more universal laws could potentially be derived if the logical process is right.
