How do we know what we know, if we know anything?

RE: How do we know what we know, if we know anything?
I am a fan of RAW. But some of his stuff is just.............out there.

But since he follows what he has called 'guerrilla ontology', it is hard to tell when he is putting the reader on, or being serious.

"The basic technique of all my books. Ontology is the study of being; the guerrilla approach is to so mix the elements of each book that the reader must decide on each page 'How much of this is real and how much is a put-on?'

You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
