A thought experiment: The rainbow temple

[bennyboy]

To further the point is the universe you know in your mind and memory or is it the actual universe?

Okay, I'm with you now.

People often confuse what is known with what is believed. In fact, I'd argue that knowledge can ONLY be applied in context-- i.e. all knowledge is a belief accompanied by the sense that it is highly consistent with that context.

For example, I know my wife's name. In the context of walking around and living my mundane life, that's knowledge. However, does she really exist outside my experience of her? That, I cannot know, because now we're talking about a context which I cannot access. (because I access information only through my experiences)
