A] Actually the Title of this thread pertains to this pursuit.
I am directly describing God.
You prompt a funny:
When at a resturant, the waiter arrives to take one's order, one might say,
"
It's not a matter of eating or even ordering food"
---surely the waiter would care not a wit, except to be asured he'll be given a gratuity before that party leaves.
"personal knowledge" of what subject?
B] Read my little example of, "The God is a Person Principle" mini-discertation below. Please tell me what you thing of the logic that I present in it in regards to your qualification.
Cat,
So one man's Logic has no bearing on another's logic?
IMO, between the liones of what you wrote is a contempt for other's heartfelt conviction. The empathy for another person's journey means you 'Already' know what they are talking about by following along with their presentation.
Ie: The was a earthquake in Haiti. ---[I ASSUME you know what 'haiti' means, what earthquake means ---and then an enquiry into the persons are fairing] ---{Maybe my example here is convoluted?}
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
I believe in God. He is absolute in lives in an eternal realm beyond time, [beyond the affects of the modes of "creation, maintanence, & dissolution]; where He has his own pastimes ---far from where we are here on this planet.
BTW, He exists in three aspects [which compose the entire cosmi phenomena]: A) The Void, B) the nucleus of every speck of animate & inanimate matter-energy, and, C) His own (Transcendental) Personage.
This belief of mine expressed above is based on hearing from Mother-Vedas (of India) in the same way that we know who our biological father really is when hearing it from ourown biological mother.
An ancient maxim:
"Philosophy without religion is Metal Speculation (aka, subjective guesswork);
Religion without Philosophy is sentimentality (aka, fanaticism)."

It seams to me that knowing is an act of gathering information into the conscious sphere, where the intellect can deduce meaning. What happens when the knower ceases trying to gather info into that sphere, instead of knowing ‘things’ would it not just know I.e. non-things. Perhaps that is the only true knowledge and I would think it to be singular.
