Knowing

The magic between the lines

Since my return from death, I've noticed two distinct ways people receive what I share. Some feel the message that lives between the words I speak, a recognition that happens beneath language. In doing so, they experience and recognize truth, sometimes physically. This shift happens not because of the words themselves, but because of what they recognize within, through the heart.

Others process the information through the intellect, comparing what they hear to what they already know, finding meaning through analysis, measurement, and definition.

One of the gifts I came back with was claircognizance, clear knowing. This in part is why I can recognize these two different responses, and why I can speak with certainty: What I will share with you in this post isn't theory or philosophy. It's my direct experience of "knowing" that exists beyond the mind's need to understand.

What Is Knowing?

There are two versions of "knowing", two fundamentally different ways of processing this existence. But only one holds the truth.

The first is comparative, progressive, and linear. It analyzes. It measures. It defines. It takes what you're encountering and runs it through the filter of everything you already know, looking for patterns, seeking logic, building understanding piece by piece like constructing a tower from the ground up.

The second is felt, intuitive, immediate, formless. It senses. It receives. It simply knows. There is no comparison to other information, no progression, no linear path from ignorance to understanding. The "knowing" is already there, already complete, waiting only to be recognized.

One is the intellect at work, creating a false sense of knowing based on the limited experience you have retained within the mind. The other is something deeper, clear knowing that bypasses the mind's need to categorize and comprehend.

Do You Know?

Pause for a moment.

As you are reading these words, which type of "knowing" are you experiencing?

Are you analyzing what I'm saying, comparing it to other things you've read or learned, measuring it against your existing beliefs, trying to fit it into a framework that makes logical sense?

Or are you feeling something between the lines, sensing a truth within that doesn't need to be explained or justified, recognizing something you already "know" without being able to articulate exactly how you know it?

One of these seeks comfort in knowing. One just experiences.

Consider how you experience a poem. One person reads it and immediately begins dissecting the metaphors, analyzing the meter, identifying the literary devices, comparing it to other works. They understand it intellectually. Another person reads the same poem and simply feels it, something shifts inside them. Something resonates, and they know the truth of it without needing to explain why.

Both are real. But they are fundamentally different in degrees of understanding when applied to existence.

If you just noticed yourself analyzing these words, comparing them to what you know, measuring their validity, that awareness itself is claircognizance beginning to stir. You can't think your way into direct knowing, but you can recognize through awareness when you are blocking it. And recognition is everything.

How Do You Know?

Claircognizance. Clear knowing.

It's sensing what is between the lines, feeling the formless liquid that flows between the concrete words. It's non-linear, instantaneous, complete. You don't arrive at it through a process, you recognize that you've already arrived, that you already knew. There is no part of you that needs to use comparison as a means to manufacture understanding.

This isn't mystical or esoteric. You've experienced it countless times in your life. You meet someone and you just know whether to trust them or not. You stand at a crossroads and you know which path to take, even though you can't explain why. You read something or hear something and you know it's true before your mind has time to analyze whether it makes logical sense.

That's direct knowing. And it's available to you always, in every moment, waiting beneath the noise of the intellect's constant need to understand.

How Do You Know You Know?

You just know. There's no calculation, no weighing of evidence, no logical proof. You simply know, with a certainty that is divine, beyond human.

It's the difference between believing something because you've reasoned your way to it, and knowing something because you feel its truth in your DNA. One can be argued with, questioned, undermined by new information. The other is unshakeable, not because you're closed-minded, but because the knowing exists at a level that is far deeper than thought.

But here's something crucial to understand: there is a vast difference between true knowing and what the mind calls "feeling like you know."

When the intellect is satisfied with its analysis, it can create a false sense of knowing. You might say something along the lines of: "It makes sense. I feel it," . Or "I feel like I know." This is the intellect comforting itself for arriving at a logical conclusion and mistaking that satisfaction for truth.

True claircognizant knowing has no rationalization. There is no agreement between the mind and the knowing. There is just knowing. One is true, the other is illusion. You cannot intellectualize your way to enlightened understanding.

You don't know that you know through any process of verification. You know that you know because the knowing is self-evident, immediate, complete. Felt, not seen.

What Blocks Knowing?

The ego's need for logic and rational understanding blocks the flow of direct knowing.

The intellect demands that everything make sense according to the rules it has already established. It requires proof, evidence, logical progression. It cannot surrender to knowing something without understanding how or why it knows.

This is “The Veil” in action, the insistence that truth must be filtered through the mind's measurement and comparison before it can be trusted. It's the attachment to beliefs you already hold as truth, the refusal to let something be real simply because you sense its reality.

Intellectualization creates a barrier between you and direct knowing. Not because the intellect is bad or wrong, but because it demands a type of certainty that claircognizance doesn't provide. Direct knowing asks you to trust what you feel, to surrender to the fact that it doesn't have to make sense, to accept that it won't appease the intellect, and that's perfectly fine.

The greatest block to knowing is the belief that you need to understand in order to know.

If you're recognizing these patterns in yourself right now, you're already beginning to know differently. The awareness of the block is not the block, it's the first crack of light.

When Can You Know?

When you are in the state to receive it.

Direct knowing requires openness, a willingness to receive without the filter of analysis. It asks you to surrender to the fact that it doesn't have to make sense. It won't appease the intellect, and that's not its purpose.

This brings us to a paradox: transcending is knowing. Yet the waiting to know is also a desire to know. And this desire itself becomes a barrier.

Release the desire to know. Otherwise you won't be able to recognize you know when you know. The desire will keep you from realization. When you're desperately seeking to know, you miss the recognition that you already do.

The state of receptivity is one of surrender. Not surrender in defeat, but surrender in trust. Trust that you can know something without understanding it. Trust that direct knowing is as valid, perhaps more valid, than intellectual comprehension.

Know Peace

Knowing is the path to peace.

When you access direct knowing, you stop seeking based on incomplete information. You stop the endless loop of trying to figure everything out, trying to understand every mystery, trying to make sense of existence through the limited tools of linear thought.

Direct knowing makes you whole. It reconnects you with a part of yourself that has always been there, always been wise, always been complete. The part of you that doesn't need external validation or logical proof because it already knows.

The intellect will always find more questions, more uncertainties, more things to analyze and debate. Direct knowing ends the seeking. Not because it answers every question, but because it reveals that the deepest truths don't require answers, they require recognition.

Peace comes when you stop trying to understand your way to wholeness and instead trust what you already know.

The Magic Between the Words

Remember when I said the magic isn't in the words themselves? By now, you know whether you've felt it, that recognition, that subtle resonance, that knowing that arises without explanation. That's the magic between the lines. That's claircognizance recognizing itself in you.

Some of you feel it immediately. Others are still trying to understand it, and that's okay too.

But I invite you to consider: What if you already know everything I've shared here? What if the truth of it isn't something you need to learn, but something you need to remember? What if direct knowing is your natural state, and intellectualization is the learned habit that covers it over?

Trust what you already know.

You don't need to understand this. You just need to feel it.

Shut your eyes. Be still. Feel from within. Let it wash over you and through you. Smile because you have arrived. And if you feel it, you know...now you are free.
