Knowledge is not limited to that in which a second party must be involved.No it isnt, it is meant to reserve use of the word knowledge for things we can show reliable evidence for.
I'm a part of the cosmos the way a toe-nail is part of a body. That doesn't make the properties of the toe nail the same as the properties of the brain or of the body as a whole in my view.
Calling it delusion suggests it is not knowledge, but I believe that what I have said is amply demonstrable with respect to the body. With respect to the universe as a whole I believe we are not currently able to observe its properties as a whole therefore I do not call things which may or may not be true such as the universe having conciousness as knowledge.
You are merely making a mental distinction, you are in fact every part of your body, the toe-nail and the rest. While it is true that you are the toe-nail, the toe-nail is not you. In the same way, God is you, but you are not God.
The Cosmos is expressing through you, it is you, but you are not the Cosmos. In the same way your toe-nail cannot know you, you/science likewise cannot know the Cosmos.
How does one become united with the Cosmos/God? By doing nothing, the Cosmos is you, just realize it by not thinking anything, the expresser and the expression are one.
