Certainty, senses, reason, logic, tradition, heart-knowing, intuition, revelation & insight in knowing

Some have concluded that we really know nothing (fully?).

Its certainly difficult to even know ourselves and also very difficult to know others, even our loved ones.

It might then be wrong, or inadvisable, to believe that we know (anything) with absolute certainty. What is advisable is that we can obtain high degrees of certainty when we rely on combining more than one way of coming to know.

These ways of knowing include;
i) our senses and the experience we have through them
ii) reason and its servant logic
iii) tradition – all accumulated experience, laws etc
iv) heart-knowing including in-spiration, and meditation that provide in-tuition revelation & in-sight
v) dialogue and consultation with others.

However we can be misled by any one or more of these but combining the benefits of all of these will give us the highest possible degree of certainity when they are in accord.

To be developed.
