the world as it appears
as it is in consciousness
is the world in awareness
is this knowledge?
it is data
consciousness reflects on this data
it is the reflection that is knowledge
the reflection occurs because awareness in itself
is without explanation
reflecting on it leads to knowledge
we reflect on it because - as it is
it is unknown
and our reflection
how do we know its status -
i.e. do we have knowledge here?
well first up
knowledge is what?
we might say it is a foundation to our experience
that it is an ideal underpinning of what is given
OK
still what this is
what this amounts to
why it is sought
are all reflective questions
the answers are not out there -
they are - if they are - in there
the point is
reflection may posit knowledge
but reflection -
of one kind or another is -
the only basis to this posit
to call for a foundation - to that which functions as foundation to what is given
is to ask for what?
we really don't know
