I only know what I know through experience, I have been told many things but I don't need to believe in them, I am told there are black holes, but I also don't need to believe in that, if I experience a black hole, then it becomes my experience and again no need to believe in it.

The feelings can be interpreted in many different ways. Interpretation of the feelings not necessarily is the truth.

How do you interpret the feelings?

The feelings come through the mind of course, and the feelings are interpreted through the mind also. But what was experience the mind cannot know, so no matter what I call these feelings will never be what they truly are, they are always tainted by the mind and its conditioning.

There is a knowing on one level and yes, there is a not knowing on another, I can only know what my senses can perceive on one level and I cannot know that which cannot be perceived on another.

This is bizarre. So you know there is a supermind but not that there are black holes? Seems like a wrong way to go about things.
