From a site visitor: "You call knowledge learned ignorance. Is the knowledge I receive from your blogsite and your books also ignorance?"
F.: It is not known what, if anything, you receive from this site or the books. If you receive information which you attempt to use to support a religious or spiritual role, then yes...you are receiving ignorance. If, on the other hand, you receive knowledge of the True Self and that which is beyond, then you have learned the truth that cannot be stated.

The point of the site is not to offer what most take to be “knowledge,” namely, concepts dreamed up by humans. The point of the site and of the books is to remind you of that which You already know but have forgotten. That is knowledge that You already have, not knowledge that is to be learned. All that you “learn” from persons who have dreamed up concepts (and anything that is beyond what You already know) is a lie. And it is the belief in lies that is ignorance. Today, a message was received from a group of seekers in Romania who have worked diligently for years to open a library and stock it with books that offer pointers that are intended to re-introduce Self to self...that offer "knowledge" of Self to self. While one stated goal of a library and its founder is to “share knowledge,” the goal that the Romanian writer expressed is no different from the intent of this site: to offer works that lead to Realization of Self and then to transcend all knowledge/belief in the false. Here’s an excerpt of the e-mail from one member of that group:
I write you in the name of a small group of students living here. We are some kind of a research and study group, trying to evolve our spirit, mind, and body, and to maintain a high state of awareness regarding the reality which sourrounds us. Saddly, here in Romania it is almost impossible to do such a thing, especially when you use methods wich are generally considered as "unorthodox" (that’s becouse our main path has an oriental source). Most of the people in our country have a pretty narrow vision regarding spirituality, and anything which they can not understand, they classified it as some kind of \"heresy\" and never look at it again; they are refractory and rigid. Fortunately, there are also open-minded people. Their number is small and their struggle is big, but the fight for freedom will never cease.

If the visitors to that group's library are able to gain knowledge of Self, then they will not have learned ignorance; instead, they will have unlearned ignorance…they will have unlearned all the ignorance that is programmed into persons across the globe. In unlearning ignorance, the visitors to that Romanian library will have achieved what the founders intend: an “awareness of reality”; an expanded, limitless vision in place of a “narrow vision”; a level of “freedom” that can ultimately free persons from being “rigid”; and a knowledge of Self. In contrast, the knowledge that persons would impart is knowledge that contributes to belief in the false self, that inspires fixation in religious and spiritual ego-states, and which thereby contributes to the scourge of this relative existence: ego, false identities, and personas. Please enter into the silence of contemplation. [To be continued tomorrow]
