Feels & Ideas vs. Experience · To Actually Really “Get It”
⁘ “Some "get it" when they have an intellectual grasp of it. Others "get it" when there's a good emotional vibe about an idea. No but you don't actually get it. Just ideas and feels. It's still a world apart from direct witnessing of what is.”
Have you come across one of those people who seem to really get something?
But then, when you follow up, they are near absolutely clueless.
There is a certain illusion of knowing,
that you "get it", born from several sources.
A very common "getting it" is the intellectual rational getting it.
But it doesn't mean that you actually get the experience,
the "what is" behind the idea.
It's just a construct in your mind.
The other very common "getting it",
that actually isn't getting it,
is through your emotional resonance.
You connect with your feelings.
It makes you feel alright.
It vibes – and therefore you get it.
No, but you don't actually get it.
You only get how it makes you feel,
and that doesn't make it an understanding of what it is.
Understand that you do not understand.
If you have crafted it in your mind,
if you're feeling strongly about it,
that's still a world away from direct witnessing of what is.
