the ledge of know

While most folk simply (or complexly) lead their lives, I want to know
1. How we know what we know,
2. Is what we know the Truth or Reality?

An interesting phrase "lead our lives" -- as if we are in charge, leading our lives around. Evidence shows otherwise. The brain knows what is going on before we do. The cosmos in which "we" are immersed interflows with the brain. "We" are the last to "know" what is going on. What we "know" is the story we create from the interflow of the Mystery which we both are and in which we are embedded / embedding (making our bed in).

How do we know what we know? We create story. Science story. Religion story. Melodrama story. Political story.

Is our story the Truth or Reality? Yes and no. A story is an overlay on Mystery, so no. Mystery creates story, so yes.
