>> Is there anything beyond thoughts ?

 

Is this a test or is this an honest

question ?

 

If it is an honest question, it

implies that ...you are NOT aware of

anything beyond thoughts.

 

How will a reply from someone else

help you understand it then ? You will

try to translate it into you vocabulary

( into what you know ) and thereby, I

either completely miss it,

misunderstand or misinterpret it.

 

 

 

>> Is there anything beyond thoughts ?

 

There are two ways to know it. One is

inquiring and investigating it on your

part and finding it out DIRECTLY, by

yourself.

 

Second way is intellectual and it

involves ... " trust " , " respect " ,

" humility " , " acceptance " that might

even border on the lines of " faith " ,

" devotion " , " Bhakti " .

 

You ask someone whom you trust,

respect to be truthful, honest, sincere

and possibly knowing ... " what you don't

know " . You then, mostly accept what

such a person says to you. As this

experience is not yet in your domain,

you have no real way to approve and

disprove it. You trust this person, you

trust him/her to know and be truthful

about it. In such a case, you accept

his/her answer.

 

Such a person that you trust, respect

to know and to be honest, truthful and

well-meaning in telling you what he/she

knows is also called ...guru ?

 

 

Do you have such respect for the

person you are asking this question,

Lewis ?

 

Would you respect and accept

his/her answer, as ...it is an area

that you yet don't know ?
