The Aim of Knowledge

[Esote]

What is the aim of knowledge, if not Love ?

The aim of the Work as far as I understand consists to get our consciousness as free from illusions as possible and see reality as it is.
Real objectivity can't be anywhere else than in Consciousness, how could it be otherwise ?

Consciousness seems to be One, from quarks to galaxies, from minerals to humans...
The Universe seems to exist in the Being. Each being has it's own universe, or consciousness, which is a part of the Whole.

The Infinite, or Consciousness-Being, contains Non-Being, but Non-Being doesn't contain the Infinite, which may never be reached.

Consciousness-Being, or Duality, separates from Non-Being; Love, it's counterpart somehow, attracts toward Non-Being, or Unity. An eternal 'game', impossible to win or end, always changing, moving, evolving: Duality-Unity... One-Zero... You-Me... Matter-Spirit...

The Other is Me ! That is a great lesson I learned

Hi Eos,

How do you define love? And in some instances I find that some of these questions can be scaled down from universal to personal, like a fractal, and it gains some practical applications in our lives, what is the aim of knowledge in you?

Just to add


The work allows us a level of freedom from the general laws of accident and life. the first aim of the work as described by G. is self knowledge.

your aim as a MAN as described by G. is what his unified I wants or aims for.

The aim of knowledge is variable.

If God loves its creation then you are correct, the aim of knowledge is ultimately love in one form or another.
whether an expression of love that serves others or an expression of love that serves the self, it serves god which serves all.

It is the illusion of separation that which prevents us from experience love in the pure way you describe, we experience it in fragmented form, and we perceive it in fragmented form because we are fragmented ourselves because we are separated.
Which causes confusion.
the more united we are the less fragmented the love we receive is.


Now Alejo is right, in the sphere of God love is, and in our perception is impossible to perceive it, so the knowledge of a being of a STO nature will serve him to serve others, the knowledge of a being of STS nature will serve this being in serving himself.

Consciousness is the element in our sphere that plays a part on defining how the expression of knowledge translates and in turn how we love others or ourselves.

To engage the subject I want to mention that the love we express as humans is bound to the human rules So if the expression of love depends on the subject then there are different types of love which correspond to the nature of the person and level of development.

Hi Alejo,

"practical applications in our lives" is what matters in this practical world we are engaged with...
"How do you define love?": I can't really 'define' it, except that it is the main driving force toward Unity, in the recognition that consciousness is One.
Then, the aim of knowledge in me is knowing what I Am, which is indiscernible from what is the Other, AFAIK.

Felipe4 I agree for sure that "The aim of knowledge is variable" and that "there are different types of love".
This belongs to the diversity of Duality in which we are immersed.
Self knowledge, or knowledge of the self, can be of a STO or a STS nature alright.
But once we get to a level of development allowing the understanding of the true nature of the self, we know, or should know, that the Other is Me ultimately...
And that is a STO way of life, OSIT
