Cognitive Glossary of Terms and...

...their definitions as I understand them.  This is for the benefit of those whom I dialogue with.  The following terms I use prolifically and when I use them, right or wrong, abstract or linear, this is what "I" mean by the following:

Realization:  Knowledge inacted upon

Knowledge:  That which is gained sensorally by way of experiences and their discerned interpretation at a personal level.

Hope:  A faith in an unrealized and often daunting outcome of a seemingly out of personal control event or events not yet in occurance and most likey not under the perceived influence of the perceiver.  A form of doubt.

Faith:  An absolute knowledge from a singular perspective of a concept or concepts and their funtion or placement     within a perceived reality.

 

      These are the terms as I understand them.  Please feel free to jump in and correct, admonish, discertain or divulge any relevant definitions or terms in addition to or other than what was stated previously by my person.  Thanks! 

 

Be well,

Erik

P.S.  I felt a nagging compulsion to post this as I felt that maybe I am not always understood and am guilty of falling in love with my own heady jargon thus nullifying and not clarifying my intention.  Meh!  In any case it's either pointing out how smart I think I am or how ignorant you know I am.  Ha!

Or maybe seen this way can be of some clarity

Realization:  Nondual suchness = empty = liberation = pure existence = beyond life or death

Knowledge:  Causal body realm = science = truth = death

Hope:  Subtle body realm = art = beautiful = death

Faith:  Gross body realm = morals = good = death

 

What is alive must die.  What is dead must have been born.  Realization usurps life or death.

 

Be well,

Erik
