Omniscience – Knowing Everything

An enlightened being is said to be omniscient. What does that mean? 

Realisation is obviously not beyond humanity, as all sentient beings have the potential to become enlightened. 

It’s also obvious that enlightenment is beyond ordinary, mundane human understanding.

What if everything we’ve been led to believe about omniscience is a fantasy – stories to confuse and make ordinary people feel they’re not good enough? 

What if omniscient enlightenment is more straightforward? Nobody walks on water. Nobody flies through the air. Nobody does magic, except magicians who enjoy deceiving others.

What if, to know everything, we merely have to know the simple laws of the infinite universe that everything and everyone unconsciously obey, while realising there are subtler aspects of these laws, seen as a unity of emptiness, cognisance and compassion – pure consciousness itself. What happens under our noses also happens a billion light years away in infinite space – attraction, repulsion and inertia. 

When was the last time an ‘enlightened’ being was on earth? There are know-alls who behave as if they know everything, 🙂 what if genuine knowing is much simpler, much purer, and so goes unnoticed.

Omniscience is pure consciousness that does not stray into distraction.
Of course, if you know better, we’d like to hear it 🙂
