All knowledge is borrowed knowledge
Knowledge of the self being the only exception
TWIST Comment: Even the most amazing discoveries and inventions are a culmination of a multitude of borrowed knowledge. That which we think 'we know' is something that we've learnt from other sources. The only difference between absolute or true knowledge and borrowed knowledge is the feelings associated with it. When we can feel that which we know, then it's a unique and powerful knowledge only known to the self. Realization dawns when not just the mind, but the heart vibrates with it. One could for instance imagine of the time when love occurs in the heart as the mind thinks of someone lovable. This is the essence of absolute knowledge which we don't have to learn, but emerges from within.
Try to think of something that you've always thought of as 'I know'. Now start discounting such knowledge by attributing a source. At some point you'll come to realize an absolute knowledge within yourself that you cannot find a source for. Try communicating such knowledge to others and you would mostly fumble for words and expressions. Because absolute knowledge is of the self and with the self. There can neither be a source nor a destination.
