...it has just occured to I that perhaps this is about that which i have heard from Nyahbinghi Idren: "This is not what i believe, this is what i KNOW".
Does the Idren hold to the Idea that personal spiritual experiences formulate KNOWLEDGE rather than support BELIEFS (faith)? Thus ones need not claim a "belief in" but can state "knowledge of" what they have personally experienced as truth, regardless of whether there is widely acknowledged "proof" of said experience?
Perhaps this is an important semantic differentiation given word-sound-power, i.e. what we "know", "is",; what we "believe" (or "have faith in"), "MAY be"...
Seeking guidance & overstanding...
Bless.
