  • Jewels has a tremendous presence in Xanga.  The energy and quality she invests in her posts is remarkable.  And her ubiquitousness as a commenter is becoming legendary.  She hardly ever, however, comes around here, though I appreciate her dearly.  So, as T.S. Eliot describes it, do the worlds revolve like ancient women gathering fuel in vacant lots.  I do, however, visit her posts regularly and occasionally leave comments.


    In her post today, So, What If I Was The One With All The Knowledge? , she asserts  “It is a fact that there are people out there who know the answers to these questions, in fact, I believe that there are people out there who know the answers to ALL questions.”


    This is a pivotal epistemological assertion about the world.  Upon its acceptance or rejection hinges a whole world view.


    I left the following comment on her post.  I share it here just to share it further:


    I disagree with your premise that there are some people "out there" who know "all" the answers, even collectively, to "all "the questions.  First, I believe that there is much knowledge of great importance lost, lost to everyone, and buried in antiquity.  The volume of all that was once known but has been forgotten is quite huge.  These "secrets" remain hidden even, or perhaps especially, from all who would hide secrets malignantly from us.  Secondly, I believe there are ways of knowing available to each and everyone of us individually that are not controllable by governments or organizations because their paradigm of knowing, "science", is not fully encompassing, is energetically myopic.  So special ways of knowing can inform us, and the governments have toyed in these realms of realization with secret projects, but have been unable to draw Excalibur out of the earth.  There are those amongst us who have had glimpses of the proverbial philosopher’s stone who are not, nor will ever be, suborned to government control.  This is something that all governments truly, either consciously of subconsciously, fear.  But there’s not a damn thing they can do about it.  For there is a place in this world where control of the sort that governments exercise ends, and only the Spirit soars.
