Wrong.
Suppose someone encase you in a human body.
Now you get used to live like a canary in a cage (canary syndrome) and everything seems to be fine.
One day the owner of the canary feel sad that you live in a cage and want to set you free but you think that to live in a cage is not too bad.
This is the real problem with not bring your consciousness up and try to get out the cage.
Philosophy is wisdom and wisdom tell you what is right and what is wrong.
You may not not need a degree or a huge quantity of wisdom but even a little bit at the time is enough to let you know how the system works.

1: knowing everything about everything.
This is also a part of knowledge but when you engage in spirituality you do for merging with the cosmic consciousness not for other reasons.
Quote:2: knowing everything on one subject, if so what subject.
Yourself.
The old saying...........IF YOU WANT TO KNOW ALL YOU GOT TO KNOW YOURSELF.
The spirit is within.
Outside there is only the illusion.
As i already show you you can put a knife through your flesh and not feel any pain.
That happen when you get away from the illusion that you are a body.
When you realize that you are the essence of pure cosmic spirit then you are free from the illusion.

Quote:4: Is it evidence based. If so what is the evidence.
When you fill your body with water or food then there is evidence that water and food are inside your body.
When you fill your essence with bliss then there is evidence that bliss is there.
How can you give evidence in this non material-physical case?
The aura will show.
As you can feel sick by looking at a drunk you also feel good in the presence of someone good.
Quote:5: Or are you just talking shit.
My moneys on 5.
Again.
Under the spell of the canary syndrome you can not understand how good the freedom is.
