Post Subject: Knowing by doing, and knowing by reading/cerebrally...Posted by Axel on: 12/21/2009

is what comes to mind when I reflect on your ponderings.
There is a difference in "real knowing" in e.g. how to ride a bicycle (arse in the saddle), and then you can read a book about it, and then some more, and then write some PhD on the subject, yet never really sat on the dang thing and pumped the pedals.

The more "real knowing" you acquire, the more pathetic or even ridiculous it will become to hear others to go on about there "cerebral or book or reading knowing" ---- because you just "KNOW" what you know at that stage.
Also, real knowing - what you KNOW - makes it tedious and boring to go on about surmisings, and all sorts of other BS when talking about subjects you happen to have acquired real KNOWING.
Maybe you must bring in the female side of things, since with men (in my KNOWING) they can never be known even approximately, this should avoid some of the ennui you experience.
Since you may not recall: I'm going on 64, and have done some insight "trainings" such as EST (I AM, in SA) some many years ago, 25 to be exact and my learning about those 2 kinds of knowing would yet have to be disproved.
If you know something "completely" you can not even talk about it any more, it would be like going on about whether the sun is going to rise in the morning --- now how long can you go on about that?!
(If you are a blind person, quite possibly all your life, as a seeing or "knowing" one, hardly so)
Greetings,
Axel
PS: Romy, you did lots of learning, and now you've become KNOWING ---- and got yourself thrown out of audio-paradise.
Blessed are the "humble" in spirit (stupid, eh), they can still write endless crap about audio, hm.
Or: with every thing you gain (e.g. knowing) you also loose (e.g. studidity), and now that's where you got. Welcome :-)
