Enlightenment

[raw_thought]

What does this even mean?

First see above post ( post 20!) for context. Socrates accepted the title of " most wise" because he was the only one that knew that he knew nothing. Which ironically, is the ultimate wisdom, that everything is ineffable!

The subject is the predicate!!!! What came first? When I say "green" do I define it by something green? Or do I have something green and define that?
"At first, I saw mountains as mountains and rivers as rivers. Then, I saw mountains were not mountains and rivers were not rivers. Finally, I see mountains again as mountains, and rivers again as rivers."

That was Zen on the stages of enlightenment.
