Accumulated Knowledge and Instinct

The collective knowledge of humanity has culminated in what we define as our sciences, religions, philosophies, mythologies, and arts. Each is an expression of what we know, suspect to be true, and seek to discover about ourselves and the existence in which we reside. This includes any possible existence beyond the physical one.

The dilemma is none of these disciplines of knowledge agree with each other; each has versions of existence in conflict with each other. Even within a particular discipline of thought, disagreements ensue.

This should not be particularly surprising, for the source of knowledge each of these represent comes from us, the humans who think this stuff up and perpetuate it as fact. Since we are incapable of complete agreement with each other, it is no surprise we have controversy on almost all topics. It's just inherent in our makeup and nature. Everyone wants to be more right then everyone else.

Despite all the variety of knowledge we've developed, and despite all the disagreement these spawn, there still must be an absolute truth to reality, an indisputable foundation upon which all is built.

For example, we each know and agree on the fact that to exist in this reality, we must eat, sleep, breath and perform those activities that support our ability to do these things. How we each should perform these activities is of course subject to disagreement. This knowledge however did not come from us. It existed before we did, otherwise there would not be a human race.

Who could survive long enough waiting for someone else to discover what food, rest, and the need for inhaling oxygen was? We refer to this knowledge as instinct. Instinct is knowledge we are born with. It's part of the package we bring with us upon entering physical reality. It's not subject to opinion. It is indisputable, even though it is hotly disputed in certain of our accumulate knowledge disciplines. Again, this is only to be expected.

Science says instinct comes from our genetic evolution, it's something we inherit from the evolution of species. It is a trait we share with all other life forms in existence. Instinct is not discovered, it is already in place and tells you all you need to know to survive. (Some Sociologists have decided however there are no human instincts.)

Somehow, included in our instincts is this compulsion to know and discover limited only by our imagination. This too is indisputable, for we have the evidence it is something each and every one of us pursues to one extent or another from every age in which man has been here.

Instinct is a foundational absolute aspect of realty therefore.

How then does instinct integrate with the Three Grand Illusions of Reology? It forces us to ignore them. It is what causes us to overlook reality's illusions. Instinct forces us to focus only on those things we perceive as necessary to have physical survival and function, which ironically includes the diversion to wonder, know, and discover.

Once we begin these pursuits, whatever ideas we perceive as factual becomes further obstacles to recognizing absolute truth because they are focused on our survivability and how we can improve upon it.

The ideas we perceive as questionable, like religion, quantum mechanics, philosophy, mythology, even the Three Grand Illusions, only get our peripheral attention and only when we have the time for them, if we give them any attention at all. Some of us do, most of us do not, but all of us should.

Why? Because it is from the questionable elements of our accumulated knowledge and through following our instincts that we can find the foundations of reality and our place and roles within it.
