What do you know about yourself?

If the only thing that you truly know is that you exist, what do you know about your existence?

After contemplation on the only true fact you will realize that there is a tremendous gap between knowledge and assumptions.

After understanding the “I exist” concept some people return to tangible comprehension. People say “I know I exist and I can’t know anything else, shouldn’t I return to my regular senses? Without using my senses nothing seems to work.”
I previously mentioned that even logic is uncertain. We may be programmed to think the way we do.

Let’s face it, at the moment you are stuck in your program. You must therefore trust that 1) if there is a creator he gave you the tools to accomplish what you need. 2) If there is no creator you could only use the tools you have to figure out who you are.

What is the closest assumption to the knowledge that “I exist”? Is there an equal gap from ultimate knowledge to all logical facts such as 1+1=2? Or, is there a logical way to measure the distance between the ultimate knowledge and levels of assumptions?

Do you exist?

After years of thinking I came the conclusion that the only thing I know is that I exist. I found a famous philosopher who said the same thing.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cogito_ergo_sum

"Cogito, ergo sum" Usually translated in English as: "I think, therefore I am", is a philosophical statement in Latin used by René Descartes, which became a foundational element of Western philosophy. The simple meaning of the phrase is that if someone is wondering whether or not he exists, that is in and of itself proof that he does exist (because, at the very least, there is an "I" who is doing the thinking).

Do you understand the depth of this statement? If you aren’t then you can be thinking, perceiving or believing that you are. The very fact that you think you are proves that you are.

Other philosophers take it a step further and say, you don’t need to think in order to be. You either are or aren’t. Thinking is a capability you have once you exist.

Do you know that I exist? Obviously not; you may assume that I exist since I have similar traits to you.

I know I exist but I’m not sure if any of you readers exist. The only reason I’m writing this blog is because I assume you exists since you appear to be similar to me.

Do you know anything?

I know this sounds provocative, but there is depth to the question.
After discussing about atheists it appears that many people think that, 1) there is no proof that a deity exists 2) Science has disproven the existence of a deity.
What is proof?

People have different definitions of reality. People use different methods to determine reality.

What is absolute unquestionable reality?

This question is intended to reach the very core of your thinking process. How do you know that you know anything?

I split my thinking process into three levels, knowledge, assumption and belief.

Knowledge is absolute.

Assumptions are what you accept as reality even though there are doubts.

Beliefs are when you have little proof but you accept the concept as true.

Both assumptions and beliefs have many sublevels.

You could assume that while crossing the road you won’t get hit by a car, but it could happen. You assume that by getting a job your finances will be taken care of, but you could get fired.

You can believe that aliens occasionally invade earth but there is little evidence if any that they did.

My method is to put each concept in its proper category. If it is an assumption or belief I intellectually weigh it and see how close it is to absolute reality.

So, is there anything that people absolutely know? If yes, what? If no, what is the basis of weighing assumptions?
