The definition of Yes is synonymous with that of allowance and unconditional love, since in order to be unconditional it must be by definition absolutely allowing. We can also see that allowing is primarily what the act of loving does. So love is the common factor in all that exists, love is the key and the whole truth, because essentially it just means Yes.

Self discovered. Since I realized over 30 years ago that the limited and limiting nature of rote learning and its application only caused me to make assumptions and mistakes, I've been actively dis investing from beliefs and formal knowledge, and I only realized the significance of the principle Allowance (Yes) about 11 years ago.

That's when all the dots started connecting at hyper-speed and all the puzzle pieces began rapidly falling into place. It's not just logic and self evidence that tells me I'm on the right track but pursuit of this principle has also lead me to experience some incredible hyper-dimensional phenomena that afforded me some normally unavailable points of view and helped expand my perspective even further. After all, that's precisely what allowance, acceptance, inclusion, aka Love, does. Is it not?

I wouldn't know. I haven't experienced hyper-dimensional phenomena, unless you're defining it differently than the usual way. I've heard that you can get that from some good drugs, but I wouldn't know about that either.

The thing about not investing in formal knowledge is that it's possible to delude oneself into thinking one's theory hasn't been thought about and tested a million times before. It can lead people to reinvent the wheel when it's already been done.

Thanks for the response though.

Dis-investing is not necessarily discounting. It's simply like not putting money on a horse, to not gamble. It doesn't mean I think the horse is going to lose.

By dis-investing in beliefs I'm simply eliminating inherent biases so I can approach situations neutrally. That neutrality is what allows novelty, including novel experiences.

It is not my contention that formal knowledge is wrong, only that there is always going to be more to it than any conclusion can convey and those limitations cause assumptions and errors.

No conclusion is absolute. A conclusion is an ending. All endings are relative. Thus all conclusions are merely rational, not logical.

Including yours.

Why?

Because yes.

The thing about Yes is that it's not a conclusion, it's not an ending. It's the beginning.
