Session 2: The Boundaries of Knowledge

Reading time...

Opening

Belief is not knowledge; knowledge is not Knowing. Belief orients but lacks evidence. Knowledge guides action and stays corrigible. Knowing is immediacy — this, before words.

Reliable knowledge

Call it knowledge when there’s sufficient evidence to act. It remains provisional and adjusts with new data. Skill learning (cycling, arithmetic) can feel “certain,” yet still rests on memory and method.

Evidence & interpretation

Observation is direct; recognition is interpretive. Between seeing and naming, memory matches patterns — and can misfire (rope as snake). Keep method humble; keep testing small.

Knowing as the anchor

Only knowledge has limits; belief is boundless; in Knowing no question arises. Keep returning to immediacy (sound, light, breath). Act from there; update as facts move.
