How Do We Know?

But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, KNOWING from whom you learned it…”
2 Timothy 3:14 (ESV)

If I were to ask you, “WHAT do you know?”, you could probably answer that easily and endlessly. But, if I ask, “HOW do you know what you know?” you are now faced with a more difficult question. When we are exploring Worldview, we often run into the deeper, more difficult questions. The concepts of human consciousness and knowing are topics that generate many difficult questions.

In this session, we are going to explore the way our experience of the World is shaped and processed. As we said earlier, your Worldview is first given to you. As you grow and experience more of life, your Worldview changes, adapts, grows, etc. It is important for you to understand the forces and shape your Worldview so that you can engage them and evaluate them effectively.

Some Questions to Ponder:

• What is Consciousness?
• What makes up my experience of life?
• Is knowing “for sure” possible?
• How do I know what I think I know?
