When boiled down to essence, there are only two conceptual frameworks within which to understand your existence; belief and knowledge. Belief-wise, anything goes. You can believe whatever you want – it doesn’t even have to make sense – but it’s important to your happiness and well-being that you believe what those around you believe, either by adapting to your subsection of the herd or by moving to another. Knowledge-wise, there’s only I Am, which can be further refined to I Am/Consciousness, or Awareness Is. That’s the alpha and omega of knowledge – all else is but the dream of a dream.
