Ignorance (Αγνοια)

-From my text on the Logos (The Word).

The philosophical teachings of Meleticism are meant to be understood for their wisdom. Their rudiments are founded upon the knowledge of ideas that enhance our thoughts and awaken our consciousness. This form of cognition enlightens the mind and activates the senses that we utilise daily, but there is a state of unawareness that alters our common perception. It is known as ignorance. It is not the type of ignorance that we deem as intuitively obvious. Instead, it is demonstrative of the lack of knowledge than the haughtiness of the ego. It is when the mind is incapable of reasoning, due to the inability to realise the significance of the truth. It is the truth that in its ultimate form is what corresponds to our consciousness. It is our consciousness that verifies our rational thinking and separates those things that are truthful from fallacious.

There are two basic concepts of philosophy that best describe ignorance in Greek, such as agnoia and amathia. The first means not knowing, and the second means not learning. If we apply these two actual concepts, then we can distinguish between the meaning of human ignorance and human deception. Thus, we become more conscious about engaging with the mind and our thoughts. Intellect is the mechanism of the mind, and comprehension is the fulfilment of our reality. Together, they serve our intuition effectively. The things that we don't know should remind us that we truly don't know everything in life and that our knowledge is limited to that of which we have learnt in our tutelage. Only through wisdom we are capable of pursuing enlightenment in the manner that we are conscious about its metaphysical relevance.

A scholar is a man or woman who professes a specific knowledge, but a philosopher is a person who displays wisdom. When we discover substance to our thoughts, we are expressing our intellectual capability and reasoning. To be ignorant because of one's vanity is more of a foolish pretension than a mere stupidity. The words that we speak tend to reflect the language or speech that we master. However, any individual can presume to be intelligent and practise knowledge, or imitate what has been heard with rhetoric. There is a simplicity that is coherent in its essence and reflects the truth about ourselves. It is called common sense. It also makes us aware of the challenges in life. Everything that we interpret has an interesting purpose or function that we should resolve. We should attempt to not limit our knowledge or invent its other usage.

The Enas is knowledge and those persons that attest to its revelation are people that are knowledgeable and sapient. There are people that possess gnosis, and there other people that profess agnosis. One is knowledge and the other is denial of that knowledge. There are manifold forms of knowledge, but in the end, it is the path of the One that enriches our minds with enlightenment. To know about ourselves is the one certainty that will prevail over our uncertainties. No one is born with knowledge or with ignorance. A person chooses either to exemplify one's character or exhibit one's ego. The word is the Logos and with it, we adhere to its fundamental principles. Philosophy is the perceptible practice of our knowledge. We must explore the depth of the mind, soul and self, in order to reach the understanding of the Enas. Ignorance is the contradiction of wisdom. It cannot be rationality or the truth. It is simply empty of substance and meaning.
