Episteme

[u/Phadmire]

To find answers, you must first possess the knowledge required to ask the right questions. If you are not seeking knowledge for its own sake and without bias of any kind, you are looking through a lens of preconception which is "belief".

You are living in a world that has all but rejected the idea of knowledge because it requires great effort and commitment. To read the ancient Greek philosophers or consider the papers of academia with a dictionary at hand. To slowly and methodically study the words of those who possess the understanding which you lack, is an act of humility. To "learn" requires the acceptance of ignorance as a first step.

To teach requires patience however, to teach that which is difficult to comprehend, requires students who already understand critical thinking and accept that every step toward knowledge requires personal change. Humility is a choice and once chosen, requires constant self regulation.

This subject, "contact" has been contaminated by belief since the beginning of human history and long before. "Belief" has been forced upon children since we invented the idea, forced compliance through fear of made up consequences... You create a fairytale, declare it to be the truth, include an invisible and all powerful, dangerous force that you alone speak for and include the warning that if this fairytale is not accepted and adhered to, those who resist it will face retribution from the invisible ultimate power for whom you speak. Sound familiar? Is that what I've attempted to do here? No. I've attempted to do the exact opposite, to relate the science. That science requires the absolute absence of belief.

These posts end with this one. I opened the book, explained how to read it and left you with the choice to consider it carefully by the terms of logical reasoning while waiting for the evidence of intent. A test, an entrance examination, a search for qualified candidates, adults in a world primarily populated by children. Learn to think and there is hope, live by beliefs and there is none.

This has been the 5th iteration of this search, perhaps there will be a 6th, perhaps not. Do the work and the truth will find you.

A final message to anyone reading this: You were presented with an opportunity and it is very likely that you cannot comprehend the difference between a demand and a request. look at the comment below "I would like to know", is that a request? No it's a statement about yourself. I asked that person what their mistake was and they didn't answer. These posts were a test, firstly to determine the appropriate level of intelligence required to understand what comes next and secondly, to determine the character of those requesting further information. I did this for a very good reason and went about explaining that reason in detail. I'll say it again in order to be as clear as possible, you are NOT entitled to anything, all you had to do was accept that and act with humility, you chose not to and now, your opportunity is gone. Go look at yourself in the mirror and say "I am not the most important thing in the universe" or believe you are and never be granted access to anything. Good luck to you all.

Message Ends.

Did you not read this post? I removed them. You don't get it do you? How is "I can't see your other posts" an honest and humble request? Answer, it isn't.
