[Edward Williams]

Meaning that you know not about the Digestive System, therefore you do not Understand it.

Hetep Brother,

I know my body digests food but I do not understand how it digests food. I know that it happens. The title of the thread is;

WHAT YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND YOU DON'T KNOW !!!!

But I do know that my body digests food even though I do not understand how it digests food. I know about what is called the digestive system. I even know some of the elements involved in its operation. But I do not know why it works the way that it works. In other words, it is possible to know something and not understand it.

Hi Brother Edward

Fancy meeting you here....

I would have to agree with the Cheif that "What you do not understand you do not know"

Your taking what he is saying profanely? (Cheif correct me if that is not the correct term) ....

But in the "mundane"..... what u do not understand u do not know...

I'll use my prior example....

There are pedophiles out there... there are...

Do I understand them? No, I don't.

Your a revolutionary Brother, so you should KNOW how it feels to be misunderstood....

I asked the Cheif to explain to me the major differences between jeoulousy and envy......

I've never felt these things so deep that it would cause me to act in a way that I OBSERVE other people acting....

ya, have I seen a cute dude a be like man I wish I had someone like that... did I deep down inside harbor any animosity for the person that has him... or whatever else... nah.....

just not built that way.....

I give and get love .. I understand that...... I know that... and also the opposite of that...

As far as a digestive system Brother in more of a literal sense you really don't know that u have a digestive system... someone told u that...

u'd have to cut ur own body open to check....

or u could use ur rear view.....

any way just my thoughts....

much love!

These are the kinds of conversations that go on adinfinitum...100 pages even...without proper understanding. No one has of yet given any definition for the word "knowing" or the word "understanding". Based on these definitions that anyone uses at any given time what anyone is saying could be correct.

What we usually do is when someone says something, we take what they say and use whatever definitions we think they mean, because we have been trained out of asking questions...trained into thinking it makes us look dumb, and we do not ask enough questions.


So my contribution is to ask, because I am required to do so;

(1) What do you mean when you say "knowing"?
(2) What do you mean when you say "understanding"?

I would have to say first Brother Edward, with regard to being trained to "think"....

We are trained to "beleive"... the definition of faith in the bible is the evidence of things hoped for but unseen....... religion wants people to have "faith" in what they tell us... beleive it without question... so I applaud the requirement to ask a question because it means that u seek truth... an action which can only be of a divine nature...

quesion # 1 .... Knowing is a concept of having faith in what you feel is true irregardless of what anyone else's opinion or rationale is.

question #2.... Understanding is a concept in which u derive the fundamentals of any situation and apply it to yourself. You can make sense out of it. For example, a person can be learned to complete algerbra, however, that same individual, although arrived at an accurate answer, does not understand the steps performed in order to reach it. A good teacher teaches you to fish, and the opposite of that is to give you a fish. Both situation the ultimate goal is to eat, but the former not knowing how to fish remains dependent and does not KNOW how to fish for oneself.........

that would be my dispostion.
