You Already Know

Have you ever come across new information that you felt you some how knew already? It is as if the new info is just a confirmation of what you already knew but forgot.

When I used to read success strategy and other kinds of self help books, there would also be a high resonance with most of the info. It was as if one part of me was reminding the other what was forgotten.

This feeling of already knowing something is also felt when meeting people at times. You may have met someone who you felt so familiar with or somebody that you felt so comfortable with.

In both cases, this sense of already knowing is because of the resonance with our true selves. We have more sense perceptions than the 5 that we are so familiar with. When you are not bogged down with excessive thinking, you can pick up "vibes" from people and knowledge you come across.

Think about your life experiences. I'm sure you have felt certain things in the past that were unexplainable and yet right on point. That "gut feeling" is no fluke.

You already know.

How Do You Know?

Alot of people take true knowledge for granted. We often mistake ideas and concepts we have learned and really identified with as true knowledge even though there is only circumstantial evidence. This type of knowledge requires an aspect of belief.

In reality, we know only through perceptual experience. All other knowledge is purely conceptual. True knowledge is experienced. It is experienced by you directly. It can also be experienced indirectly by people you observe. We can and do gain true knowledge by other people's findings and mistakes.

A teacher teaches not by simply presenting new information to a student. The teacher makes the student put this information to use; to test out the info to see if it works. The concept + application of the concept = knowledge of the concept.

Think about all that you know right now. How much of it is true knowledge? How much of it is purely theoretical or conceptual?

You will come to your own conclusions. I know for a fact that everything that you really know has been applied by you or someone you observed directly. All else can be chalked up as you believing and not really knowing.
