This is a book about reality.
One Rabbi from Israel, who lived 2000 years ago, was reality itself, expressed in the form of a man. He taught the truth, demonstrated it - yet was rejected because of it.
Reality has come that you might know it, and have it more abundantly. Because in knowing what is real, and what is not, then you will know the truth...and the truth will make you free.
Genre: BODY, MIND & SPIRIT / GeneralOf course, the Lord is invisible. Yet, unto those who know Him, God is as present and palpable as anything known by the external senses. How do we describe the awareness of an invisible presence? This is challenging.
The awareness of the invisible Presence of God is best described as “consciousness.” It is a kind of “knowing.” In regard to God, consciousness is an awareness of a spiritual Presence, which cannot otherwise be perceived by the human senses.
Consciousness:
Consciousness is a state of awareness. As the word suggests etymologically, from Latin: “Con” means “with.” And “scio,” (the Latin root of “science”) means “to know.” “Consciousness” is a state of being “with knowledge.”
Consciousness is not knowledge derived from others, but it is a personal kind of knowing, based on a personal experience of the object. It is an awareness of something, which comes by direct personal witness, not through an indirect or a third-party source.
The acquisition of knowledge obtained from third-party sources does not amount to consciousness. Many things, of course, can be learned from what others have come to know, as in the case of book knowledge. However, this is not consciousness, but, rather, it is familiarity.
In the Latin, that kind of knowledge is “conocer” (to know or be familiar with). That kind of familiar knowledge, which is learned, is cognitive in nature. It is acquired by the use of human faculties of judgment and reason, which operate in the brain.
