That framework that we want to know is limited to our human/physical understanding. Doesn't it make more sense that our framework is not even the same language or vibration of that which we want to claim to know? Do we seek to claim such knowing as a way to ignore/neglect the capability we have for designing our own lives? In other words, we can't be bothered with the responsibility for what we create of ourselves because we're busy thinking about bigger and more important things. Hobnobbing with gods, we can imagine we have their approval.
Among the so many different things that I have been learning here, against my own arrogant will, is how the sheer absence of ideas, which I once erroneously saw as a 'lack', is in reality a true sort of
fullness -- if it can be looked on in the right way. Hence my new-found respect for the obvious non-thought leaders who have manifest themselves with such force here.
Yes! So true! "We exist --
done!" An existential slam-dunk. When you think it through how could one 'know the unknowable'? It also makes a great deal of sense -- it is certainly linguistically sound -- that our human/physical understanding is our limitation. When these things are expressed in clear, terse sentences they light up and glow from the inside out.

I admit: my Ego was on the verge of being hooked and I was going to toss up another bit of nonsense to uselessly oppose your sterling pronouncements. But then I bit my tongue (nearly off). Surely I must admit that
my framework and language -- my vibration -- simply cannot resonate with what I foolishly seek to know. You know Lacewing these are potent questions and like armor piercing shells they blast apart all the false certainties I had. But how liberating it is to be left a burning hulk on the roadside of mindless argumentation. If I can simply burn with abandon I feel all will be well. (If need be -- please! -- send another anti-thought missile to put me fully out of useless misery).
We've been at this well over a year! A wasted year I see now when, had I been capable of listening, I might have spent my time .. dancing before the thoughtless moments.

How suddenly in the New Age is a 'truth' is revealed to be a falsity! How quickly the false-structure erected by an errant ego collapses into the ground!
Rather giving up Ideas is the means
to come back to being in reality. I always thought the
wangdang was my salvation! Now I see I had a problem of mistaken membrane.
I am cured!
And so
