Source and Culmination of All Knowledge

Having arrived through various paths at this great recognition – there is only the one infinite, aware reality of all seeming people and things, and we are that – we might ask, why don’t we start with this recognition and stay there? Everything that is known through or with the finite mind shares its limitations, therefore, we could never know reality through it. Only infinite being’s view of infinite being can be absolutely true. Infinite being cannot stand apart from itself and know itself in subject–object relationship. It knows itself by being itself. Thought and perception refract being’s infinity and eternity into things. The closest we come to being our essential being is when we know nothing. Infinite being literally shines as us. The ‘I am’ that is the source of all knowledge, and the ‘I am’ that is the culmination of all knowledge, is the same ‘I am’, the same awareness of being.
