The deep awareness of the impossibility to know the reality in its essence

We’ve mentioned that the intuitive system with its characteristic judgments has the role of predicting the events and of guiding the actions of our own being for an unlimited period of time.

The judgments specific to this system are those through which we try to understand deeply the phenomena given to the conscience by the experience (such are those of the existence-non-existence, life - death, destruction - creation, perception – non - perception, space, time, thinking, matter, energy, substance, etc).

Through them we try to say what these phenomena are and which is their main role (in eternity) and not how they manifest themselves and to which laws are submitted. (we look for this understanding with the concrete-analytical mental and with the existential-philosophic one).

With the correct judgments specific to the intuitive system we recognize our limits and thus the limits of the perception, the limits of the perceptive and linguistic (conceptual) knowledge.

The wrong judgments specific to this level are characterized by some false expectations through which we expect to know the reality or one of its element in its own essence, to know it in an absolute way (we think that our knowledge about it is the only true one).

To eliminate from the psyche these wrong judgments, it’s necessary to be aware of the fact that our perception and reason are limited.

And from this point of view, they are relative.

So, they can’t give us an absolutely certain knowledge of a phenomenon at the level of the essence.

The direct perception can give us a kind of certainty, but only a relative one, regarding some points of view or angles of perception of the reality; but not a relative certainty regarding the entire reality (at the all possible “angles” of the reality’s perception).

If we sustain in our psyche a false expectation which makes us to think that we have an absolute knowledge, of essence of the reality or of its phenomena (a knowledge which doesn’t have to change if the system changes), we’re warned by the Supraconscious through specific signals of suffering (agitations, obsessions, anxieties, etc).

When some fanaticisms and absolutisms are pointed out, it’s time to begin an immediate reorganization of the cognitions specific to them if we don’t want to destroy our harmony more; because of them we won’t be able to adapt ourselves at the continuous change of the system.

There are different levels of awareness of the impossibility to know the reality in its essence.
Among these two are more important:
- an intellectual level - through which we understand that the reality is infinite and it can’t be comprise entirely with our limited perception and reason;
- an intuitive level - through which we feel the truth mentioned above “in the deepest part of our soul”.

To reach the first level it’s necessary a deep analysis of the possibilities of knowledge.
To reach the second level it’s necessary to try to understand continuously and uninterruptedly only a certain aspect of the reality and only for a certain period of time; we don’t have to let our attention to go away from that object of our research.

In this work of research we’ll find a lot of answers about what that phenomenon could be; but after a long practice (at least few days) we’ll realize with our entire being that, at a given moment, any phenomenon can’t be known in an absolute way (in its essence) but only in a relative one.

If we realize only at the intellectual level that the knowledge of essence is impossible, we’ll continue to be “visited” from time to time by different absolutisms and fanaticisms and without even realizing this.

But after an experience at the intuitive level, obtained following the steps mentioned above, this thing can’t happen again and the wrong judgments specific to the fanaticism and absolutism will be completely thrown away from the psyche.

The different methods of awareness of the reality’s infinite and mystery are used by hundreds of years by the different mystical movements; they were totally based on the continuous focusing upon a certain aspect of the reality (object, drawing, sound, formula, phenomenon, etc) for a certain period of time.

There were also cases of some individuals who reached this focusing spontaneously, without knowing any techniques but only due to the fact that they started to be more and more preoccupied by the understanding of a certain aspect of the reality; and thus, their attention was spontaneously attracted by that aspect for a while (depending on each individual).

So, at the intuitive level, a specific wrong judgment can make us to believe that we can know (perceive) the essence of a phenomenon (to perceive a reality in an absolute way).

We have to throw away these wrong judgments and to be aware that our knowledge and perception are only relative (not absolute), that they are only superficial (not profound) and that they are only different points of view of a reality which is infinite in its essence and which can’t be comprised and understood entirely; that reality is and continues to remain a mystery.

If we don’t do this, we won’t be able to adapt ourselves efficiently and promptly at the continuous change of the System, disturbing its harmony.
